| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Core Expertise |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ### Terminal Aesthetics |
| 6 | - **Monospace typography** with fallback fonts: 'Monaco', 'Menlo', 'Ubuntu Mono', monospace |
| 7 | - **Terminal color schemes** with CSS custom properties for consistent theming |
| 8 | - **Command-line visual patterns** like prompts, cursors, and status indicators |
| 9 | - **ASCII art integration** for headers and branding elements |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ### Design Principles |
| 12 | |
| 13 | #### 1. Authentic Terminal Feel |
| 14 | ```css |
| 15 | /* Core terminal styling patterns */ |
| 16 | .terminal { |
| 17 | background: var(--bg-primary); |
| 18 | color: var(--text-primary); |
| 19 | font-family: 'Monaco', 'Menlo', 'Ubuntu Mono', monospace; |
| 20 | border-radius: 8px; |
| 21 | border: 1px solid var(--border-primary); |
| 22 | } |
| 23 | |
| 24 | .terminal-command { |
| 25 | background: var(--bg-tertiary); |
| 26 | padding: 1.5rem; |
| 27 | border-radius: 8px; |
| 28 | border: 1px solid var(--border-primary); |
| 29 | } |
| 30 | ``` |
| 31 | |
| 32 | #### 2. Command Line Elements |
| 33 | - **Prompts**: Use `$`, `>`, `⎿` symbols with accent colors |
| 34 | - **Status Dots**: Colored circles (green, orange, red) for system states |
| 35 | - **Terminal Headers**: ASCII art with proper spacing and alignment |
| 36 | - **Command Structures**: Clear hierarchy with prompts, commands, and parameters |
| 37 | |
| 38 | #### 3. Color System |
| 39 | ```css |
| 40 | :root { |
| 41 | /* Terminal Background Colors */ |
| 42 | --bg-primary: #0f0f0f; |
| 43 | --bg-secondary: #1a1a1a; |
| 44 | --bg-tertiary: #2a2a2a; |
| 45 | |
| 46 | /* Terminal Text Colors */ |
| 47 | --text-primary: #ffffff; |
| 48 | --text-secondary: #a0a0a0; |
| 49 | --text-accent: #d97706; /* Orange accent */ |
| 50 | --text-success: #10b981; /* Green for success */ |
| 51 | --text-warning: #f59e0b; /* Yellow for warnings */ |
| 52 | --text-error: #ef4444; /* Red for errors */ |
| 53 | |
| 54 | /* Terminal Borders */ |
| 55 | --border-primary: #404040; |
| 56 | --border-secondary: #606060; |
| 57 | } |
