Clavue TUI

The TUI is for operators who live in the terminal: interactive agent sessions, plan/apply loops, and headless-friendly workflows without opening the full imux chrome. It shares Clavue membership, models, and API identity with the IDE and web Chat.

When to use the TUI

Choose TUI when you want maximum keyboard density on a single agent stream. Choose imux when you need multi-pane agents, Git sidebar, browser verify, or Mission Control.

  • SSH into a remote box and keep the agent UI local to that shell
  • Scriptable start + interactive takeover mid-task
  • Same official model ids as API (auto, clavue-2.1, …)

Auth

Device-code login against www.clavue.com, or export a membership API token for non-interactive runs.

export CLAVUE_TOKEN=...   # from Account → API keys
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.clavue.com/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=$CLAVUE_TOKEN

Relation to CLI

CLI covers one-shot commands, CI, and imux socket control (icc). TUI is the interactive session layer on top of the same platform auth and models. Headless scripts should prefer CLI/API; humans in a terminal prefer TUI.
