No animations or complex styling ### 2. **Enhanced Visual Design** #### Color Palette Expansion ```typescript const Colors = { ACCENT: '\x1b[38;5;208m', // Orange accent SUCCESS: '\x1b[38;5;46m', // Bright green INFO: '\x1b[38;5;117m', // Sky blue SECONDARY: '\x1b[38;5;245m', // Gray PURPLE: '\x1b[38;5;141m', // Light purple PINK: '\x1b[38;5;205m', // Pink }; ``` #### Beautiful Box Layouts - Unicode box drawing characters (╔═══╗ style) - Proper padding and alignment - Visual hierarchy with borders and separators - Clean content organization #### Progress Visualization ``` [████████████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] 40% ``` - Real-time progress bars - Visual category enablement status - Configuration completion tracking ### 3. **Interactive Animations** (Enhanced TUI) #### Loading Animations ```typescript function animatedLoading(text: string, duration: number = 1500): Promise<void> ``` - Spinning indicators: ⠋⠙⠹⠸⠼⠴⠦⠧⠇⠏ - Customizable duration - Smooth transitions with completion checkmarks #### Typing Effects ```typescript function typeEffect(text: string, delay: number = 30): Promise<void> ``` - Character-by-character banner display - Creates engaging welcome experience - Adjustable typing speed ### 4. **Smart Configuration Features** #### Category Icons - 🏥 basic • 🧠 rag • 💭 memory • 🤖 agentManagement - 📋 taskManagement • 📁 fileManagement • 💬 agentCommunication - 💾 sessionState • 🆘 assistanceRequest • 🎯 backgroundAgents #### Intelligent Dependency Handling - Auto-suggests dependencies when enabling features - Smart parent-child relationship detection - Confirmation prompts for dependency enablement - Clear dependency explanations #### Advanced Setup Wizard - Step-by-step category configuration - Detailed explanations for each tool category - Progress tracking through setup process - Dependency validation and auto-enabling ### 5. **Enhanced User Experience** #### Configuration Modes - **Quick Start**: Get running in seconds with recommended settings - **Predefined Modes**: Choose from optimized configurations - **Custom Build**: Select exactly which tools you need - **Advanced Setup**: Detailed walkthrough with explanations #### Visual Feedback - Color-coded complexity indicators (Green = Light, Blue = Balanced, Orange = Heavy) - Real-time configuration summaries - Progress bars for setup completion - Validation warnings with actionable guidance #### Improved Information Display ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ 🎯 Current Configuration │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Mode: Memory + RAG Mode │ │ Status: [████████░░░░░░░░] 60% │ │ Enabled: basic, rag, memory, fileManagement, sessionState │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ## 🛠️ Technical Implementation ### Architecture - **Modular Design**: Each TUI style is a separate module - **Shared Utilities**: Common functions for colors, progress bars, boxes - **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript support with proper interfaces - **Error Handling**: Comprehensive validation and user feedback ### File Structure ``` src/tui/ ├── prelaunch.ts # Main entry point + classic TUI ├── enhanced.ts # Full animation experience ├── beautiful.ts # Modern styling without animations └── interactive.ts # Runtime configuration (existing) ``` ### Integration - Seamlessly integrated with existing tool configuration system - Backward compatible with all existing functionality - No breaking changes to core Agent-MCP functionality ## 🎯 Background Agents Integration The enhanced TUI system fully supports the new Background Agents mode: - **Background Agents Mode**: Pre-configured for standalone agent operation - **Visual indicators**: Special 🎯 icon for background agent tools - **Smart defaults**: Optimized tool selection for background operation - **Clear explanations**: Users understand the difference between hierarchical and standalone modes ## 🚀 Usage ### Starting the Enhanced Experience ```bash npm run server # Choose: ✨ Enhanced TUI - Modern interface with animations ``` ### Configuration Options 1. **Quick Start** → Memory + RAG Mode (recommended) 2. **Choose Mode** → Select from optimized presets 3. **Custom Build** → Pick exactly which tools you want 4. **Advanced Setup** → Detailed walkthrough with explanations ### Key Benefits -
