Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "ghostty" from https://skillstore.io/skills/dicklesworthstone-ghostty.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/dicklesworthstone-ghostty/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Agent-readable resources

Test it

Using "ghostty". Open a new Ghostty tab and explain what happened.

Expected outcome:

The assistant opens a new tab in the current Ghostty instance and reports that the active window now has another tab.

Using "ghostty". Help me check whether my Ghostty configuration is valid.

Expected outcome:

The assistant identifies the config location, runs the validation action, and summarizes any reported configuration errors.

Using "ghostty". Make the terminal easier to read during this session.

Expected outcome:

The assistant increases the Ghostty font size and explains how to reset it when the session ends.

The static external command findings are false positives caused by Markdown backticks and fenced examples for legitimate Ghostty CLI actions. The hidden home-directory finding cites the normal Ghostty config path, and no prompt injection, data exfiltration, or malicious intent was found.

What You Can Build

Arrange a Development Workspace

Open windows, tabs, and splits for code, logs, shells, and monitoring tools.

Inspect Terminal Configuration

Show active settings, list keybindings, and validate the Ghostty configuration before changes.

Tune Terminal Appearance

List fonts and themes, then adjust font size for a comfortable working session.

Try These Prompts

Open a New Workspace 
Use the Ghostty skill to open a new window and explain the command before running it.
Create Split Layout 
Create a right split and a down split in Ghostty, then describe how to move between them.
Review Configuration State 
Show my current Ghostty configuration, list keybindings, and validate the configuration for errors.
Launch a Focused Session 
Start Ghostty in my project directory with a selected config file and a monitoring command.

Best Practices

  • Confirm the target Ghostty window or surface before changing layout.
  • Validate configuration after edits and before reloading Ghostty.
  • Use explicit project directories when launching focused terminal sessions.

Avoid

  • Do not run unrelated shell commands when only Ghostty layout control is needed.
  • Do not edit configuration files without first showing the current settings.
  • Do not assume the macOS app path exists on every system.
