terminal-capability-detector
Detect terminal capabilities including color support, TTY status, size, and Unicode support for adaptive CLI output.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill terminal-capability-detector --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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 ```typescript 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, }; } ``` ## Ta

What does the terminal-capability-detector skill do?
Detect terminal capabilities including color support, TTY status, size, and Unicode support for adaptive CLI output.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill terminal-capability-detector --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
