boo Brings Ghostty Fidelity to Screen
A recent demo spotlights boo, a Zig-based GNU screen-style terminal multiplexer using libghostty-vt to preserve modern terminal state across detach and reattach. Its agent-friendly send, peek, and wait commands make interactive CLIs scriptable without a GUI.
boo’s narrow focus is its strength: it treats terminal sessions as reliable infrastructure for developers and coding agents.
- –Ghostty’s terminal emulation avoids the redraw and escape-sequence problems common in older multiplexers.
- –send, peek, and wait create a deterministic automation loop for supervising OpenCode, Claude Code, or other interactive tools.
- –Its one-session-per-task model is simpler than tmux, though it sacrifices splits, tabs, and multi-client workflows.
- –The project is young, but its machine-readable controls make it especially promising for agent-driven development pipelines.
