Terminal Capability Detector
Detect terminal capabilities for adaptive CLI output.
Capabilities
- Detect color support levels
- Check TTY status
- Get terminal dimensions
- Detect Unicode support
- Check for CI environment
- Configure adaptive output
Generated Patterns
import process from 'process';
import tty from 'tty';
export interface TerminalCapabilities {
isTTY: boolean;
colorLevel: 0 | 1 | 2 | 3;
supportsUnicode: boolean;
columns: number;
rows: number;
isCI: boolean;
}
export function detectCapabilities(): TerminalCapabilities {
const isTTY = tty.isatty(1);
const isCI = Boolean(process.env.CI || process.env.CONTINUOUS_INTEGRATION);
let colorLevel: 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 = 0;
if (isTTY && !process.env.NO_COLOR) {
if (process.env.COLORTERM === 'truecolor') colorLevel = 3;
else if (process.env.TERM?.includes('256color')) colorLevel = 2;
else if (process.env.TERM && process.env.TERM !== 'dumb') colorLevel = 1;
}
const supportsUnicode = process.platform !== 'win32' ||
process.env.WT_SESSION ||
process.env.TERM_PROGRAM === 'vscode';
return {
isTTY,
colorLevel,
supportsUnicode,
columns: process.stdout.columns || 80,
rows: process.stdout.rows || 24,
isCI,
};

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
