terminal_style

What it is

A small helper module for rendering terminal UI elements for an agent CLI using the rich library (panels, markdown, syntax highlighting), plus basic helpers for clearing the screen, reading user input, and optionally opening generated images.

Public API

• set_terminal_title()
  • Sets the terminal window title to ABI (Windows via title, Unix-like via escape sequence).
• print_agent_response(text, agent_label)
  • Prints an agent label and a Markdown-rendered response with spacing.
• print_system_message(text)
  • Prints a yellow “System” panel containing the given text.
• print_code(code, language="python")
  • Prints syntax-highlighted code in a red panel (line numbers enabled).
• dict_to_equal_string(d: dict) -> str
  • Converts a dict to lines formatted as -key="value" (one per line).
• print_tool_usage(message)
  • Prints tool usage based on message.tool_calls[0]:
    • If tool name starts with transfer_to_, prints a “Delegated to …” line.
    • Otherwise prints “Tool Used” plus formatted args (if present under args).
• print_tool_response(response)
  • Prints a “Response:” line.
• clear_screen()
  • Clears the terminal via rich console.
• print_welcome_message(agent)
  • Sets terminal title then does nothing else (welcome output is intentionally skipped).
• print_divider()
  • Prints a dim horizontal divider sized to the console width.
• get_user_input(agent_label)
  • Prompts the user for input (You:). Returns "exit" on EOFError or KeyboardInterrupt and prints a termination message.
• print_image(image_path: str)
  • Prints a panel with the saved image path and viewing instructions.
  • Attempts to open the image:
    • On Unix-like with DISPLAY set: uses PIL.Image.open(...).show().
    • On Windows: runs start via subprocess.

Configuration/Dependencies

• Dependencies:
  • rich (Console, Markdown, Panel, Syntax, Text, ROUNDED)
  • Pillow (PIL.Image) for optional image opening
• Environment/OS behavior:
  • Uses platform.system() to switch Windows vs Unix-like behavior.
  • Uses DISPLAY env var to decide whether to try opening images on Unix-like systems.

Usage

from naas_abi_core.apps.terminal_agent import terminal_style as ts

ts.set_terminal_title()
ts.print_system_message("Starting session...")
ts.print_agent_response("Hello **world**!", agent_label="ABI")
ts.print_code("print('hi')\n", language="python")
ts.print_divider()

user_text = ts.get_user_input(agent_label="ABI")
if user_text == "exit":
    ts.print_system_message("Goodbye.")

Caveats

• print_tool_usage(message) expects message.tool_calls to exist and contain at least one item with a "name" key; missing/empty structures will raise errors.
• print_image() may silently fail to open/show images (exceptions are caught and ignored in the “open” step); it always prints the file path panel.
