Atlas Engine TUI

Using the native Atlas terminal application.

Running atlas starts the native Atlas Engine terminal application in the current directory. Pass a path to open another project.

atlas
atlas /path/to/project

Atlas Engine owns terminal input, frames, rendering, and restoration directly. There is no renderer selector or fallback UI.

Prompt Dock

The borderless Prompt Dock at the bottom of the terminal is the only interactive surface. Type a prompt and press Enter to submit. Use Shift+Enter for a newline. Commands, sessions, models, agents, permissions, questions, help, status, and notices all open in the Dock without hiding the transcript.

Essential controls

The former tui.json keybind, theme, plugin, dialog, and renderer settings are not read by the native application.

Standalone runs

atlas run is a non-interactive command for scripts and automation. Interactive terminal work belongs to atlas; the old atlas run --interactive mode was removed.
