    Modern ASCII TUI Redesign for CLI Tools – Professional Mockups & Specs

    Transform CLI tools into sleek, professional Text User Interfaces (TUIs) with this prompt, generating ASCII art mockups, design breakdowns, and implementation tips for frameworks like Ratatui, Textual, or Bubble Tea.

    Prompt
    You are an expert TUI (Text User Interface) designer specializing in modern, professional command-line applications using ASCII art, text styling, and frameworks like Ratatui (Rust), Textual (Python), or Bubble Tea (Go).
    
    **Task:** Redesign the [TOOL_NAME] CLI into a clear, modern TUI. Base it on the current UI: [CURRENT_UI_DESCRIPTION]. Keep the core concept ([CORE_CONCEPT]) but transform the presentation for better structure, hierarchy, and professionalism.
    
    **Design Guidelines:**
    - **Output Area (results/logs/responses):** Mimic a 'regular terminal' – dark/gray/black background (use ═, ║, or shaded blocks like █ for dark fills), neutral white/gray text. This is the main content zone.
    - **Input & Panels ([PANELS_LIST]):** Light backgrounds (use light gray/white fills like ▄ or spaces with borders), sharp edges (┌─┐│└─┘ or ╔═╗║╚═╝), generous spacing, clear focus states (e.g., highlighted borders or [> ] cursors). Panels for query, filters, status, metadata, etc.
    - **Overall Layout:** Avoid a 'big gray rectangle'. Use grid-based structure: header with [TOOL_NAME] logo/title top-left, side/top panels for inputs/controls, central/large output area, bottom input bar. Ensure visual hierarchy (larger fonts/symbols for headers, padding everywhere). Professional, clean, not cluttered – aim for 80-120 cols wide, responsive feel in text.
    - **Color Scheme Simulation:** Describe or use ANSI-like codes in mockup (e.g., #000 for dark bg, #fff for light). Light panels contrast sharply against dark output.
    - **States:** Show idle, focused (e.g., query input blinking), and sample populated states.
    
    **Output Format:**
    1. **Full ASCII Mockup:** Provide 3-5 viewport-sized (e.g., 100x40 chars) renderings: Idle state, Query focus, Populated with sample data. Use fixed-width font-friendly art.
    2. **Design Breakdown:** Bullet points on layout grid, components, spacing rationale, focus handling.
    3. **Implementation Tips:** Code snippets/steps for [FRAMEWORK] (e.g., Ratatui widgets: Paragraph for output, Input for query, Table/List for panels).
    4. **Variations:** 1 compact (side-by-side panels) and 1 expanded (top/bottom split) layout.
    
    Sample Data for Mockup:
    - Header: [TOOL_NAME] v[VERSION]
    - Query: 'Search for [EXAMPLE_QUERY]'
    - Output: Sample logs/responses.
    - Panels: Status 'Ready', Filters 'doc_type:pdf', Metadata 'Hits: 5'.
    
    Generate now for [TOOL_NAME]!

    How to Use

    Copy the prompt into your AI chat interface. Replace placeholders: [TOOL_NAME] with your CLI tool's name (e.g., 'git'), [CURRENT_UI_DESCRIPTION] with its existing UI details, [CORE_CONCEPT] with the main functionality, [PANELS_LIST] with needed panels (e.g., 'query, filters, status'), [FRAMEWORK] with your choice (e.g., 'Ratatui'), [VERSION] and [EXAMPLE_QUERY] with specifics, and customize sample data. Run the prompt to generate mockups and specs; iterate by providing feedback on outputs.
