Circuit
Terminal-Native Agentic Workflows
A circuit where the terminal becomes the primary workspace for agent orchestration, prioritizing scriptability and local execution over chat-based interfaces.
This circuit begins one level above the model runtime. It treats the terminal not as a display layer but as the primary execution environment. incur-terminal-agent-interface and trellis establish the unified CLI layer for orchestration. terminal-collaborative-workspace-ai-agents positions the shell as shared memory between human and machine. mgrep and pi-mono ground search and abstraction in local primitives. skills.sh and opencode-ai ensure modularity across providers. clawteam handles the orchestration logic for multi-agent teams. aitutor embeds literacy directly into the command stream. Simon Willison and Peter Steinberger model the legibility required for this infrastructure. The circuit resists the drift toward chat-based abstraction layers that hide execution. It avoids fragmentation where each agent maintains its own isolated interface. The circuit is complete when the terminal becomes the standard interface for agent logic rather than an option.
