# layout.terminal

A small agent terminal floating over an example app: the conversation and checks that produced it

Component: [`<Layout>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/layout.md) · Renders: `<div>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Layout intent="layout.terminal">
  …
</Layout>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| A small agent terminal floating over an example app: the conversation and checks that produced it | `layout.terminal` (this page) |
| A framed preview of the app itself | [`layout.window`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/window.md) |
| An agent terminal floating over an example app (rather than [`layout.agent`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/agent.md)) | `layout.terminal` (this page) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

- Built from: [`surface.overlay`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#surface-overlay), [`arrange.stack`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#arrange-stack)

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How layout.terminal resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.

- [`surface.overlay`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#surface-overlay) — Floats over a dimmed page and starts its own stack of surfaces

  ```
  surface-overlay m-auto rounded-lg border border-surface-border
  shadow-xl backdrop:bg-black/50
  ```

- [`arrange.stack`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#arrange-stack) — Children in a column, free to shrink inside a row or grid

  ```
  flex min-w-0 flex-col
  ```

- `layout.terminal` (this page) — A small agent terminal floating over an example app: the conversation and checks that produced it
