Ghostty Skill
Use Ghostty automation helpers to create terminal contexts and run commands in parallel workflows.
Command contract (v1)
Use plugins/ghostty/skills/ghostty/scripts/ghostty-control.sh:
# Create a new context
plugins/ghostty/skills/ghostty/scripts/ghostty-control.sh new \
--location window|tab|split:left|split:right|split:up|split:down \
[--command "command to run"] \
[--working-directory /path] \
[--env KEY=VALUE ...]
# Focus a terminal
plugins/ghostty/skills/ghostty/scripts/ghostty-control.sh focus \
[--target "selector text"]
# Send input to a terminal
plugins/ghostty/skills/ghostty/scripts/ghostty-control.sh input \
--text "input text" \
[--target "selector text"] \
[--submit]
Engine selection:
- Default
--engine auto: Shortcuts/App Intents first, then AppleScript fallback. - Explicit engine override:
--engine shortcutsor--engine applescript.
App Intents (preferred path)
The shortcuts wrapper expects user shortcuts with these names (overridable via env vars):
Ghostty New Terminal(GHOSTTY_SHORTCUT_NEW_TERMINAL)Ghostty Focus Terminal(GHOSTTY_SHORTCUT_FOCUS_TERMINAL)Ghostty Input Text(GHOSTTY_SHORTCUT_INPUT_TEXT)
Payload fields sent to shortcuts:
new:action,location,command,workingDirectory,env[]focus:action,targetinput:action,target,text,submit
Safety and execution rules
-
Check capabilities first:
plugins/ghostty/skills/ghostty/scripts/ghostty-capabilities.sh -
Before any action, print the exact command you are about to run.
-
Quote all user-provided values.
-
For
input, always include the resolved target context in your response:- explicit selector (
--target "...") when using shortcuts - "active/frontmost terminal" when using AppleScript fallback
- explicit selector (
-
If fallback cannot safely satisfy the request (for example targeted focus/input without shortcuts), fail loudly and explain why.
Examples
# New tab running logs
plugins/ghostty/skills/ghostty/scripts/ghostty-control.sh new \
--location tab \
--command "tail -f /var/log/system.log"
# New split for test runner
plugins/ghostty/skills/ghostty/scripts/ghostty-control.sh new \
--location split:right \
--working-directory "$PWD" \
--command "npm test"
# Focus and send command to named target (shortcuts path)
plugins/ghostty/skills/ghostty/scripts/ghostty-control.sh focus --target "backend"
plugins/ghostty/skills/ghostty/scripts/ghostty-control.sh input \
--target "backend" \
--text "npm run dev" \
--submit
