# text.output

The message a step in an agent terminal produced, such as what a check found, set under the step behind a thin rule. Code inside it goes in a text.snippet

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

## Example

```tsx
<Text intent="text.output">Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.</Text>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

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

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| The message a step in an agent terminal produced, such as what a check found, set under the step behind a thin rule. Code inside it goes in a text.snippet | `text.output` (this page) |
| A code sample on the page | [`text.code`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/text/code.md) |

## 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.

## 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 text.output 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.

- [`tone.default`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#tone-default) — Main text colour

  ```
  text-foreground
  ```

- `text.output` (this page) — The message a step in an agent terminal produced, such as what a check found, set under the step behind a thin rule. Code inside it goes in a text.snippet

  ```
  col-span-full ml-[7px] block whitespace-pre-wrap break-words
  border-l border-surface-border py-0.5 pl-4 text-foreground
  in-data-[kind=fail]:border-destructive/40
  ```
