coder/boo

boo coder/boo is an MIT-licensed GNU screen-style terminal multiplexer written in Zig and built on Ghostty's libghostty-vt terminal-emulation core — every session's output is parsed through Ghostty's terminal emulation so boo always knows the exact screen state of every session (contents, styles, cursor, scrollback, and terminal modes), which is used to rehydrate the terminal on attach, to answer

Why it matters

Useful for AI coding agents and headless automation scripts that need to drive interactive CLI programs (REPLs, build runners, debuggers, TUI tools) without writing screen-scraping regex against raw byte logs, because boo's `peek` returns the rendered screen reconstructed from libghostty terminal state, not a byte log; for SRE / ops teams running long-running interactive processes on remote hosts
