Terminal UI

Open the terminal UI:

$npx linersh

Copy Copied

The UI is keyboard-first and works with mixtape project folders.

Browser

Key	Action
up / down or j / k	Move selection.
enter or o	Open the selected mixtape.
n	Create a new mixtape.
c	Compile selected mixtape.
e	Edit the selected mixtape’s sources and metadata.
s	Share selected mixtape.
i	Import a .mixtape archive.
d	Delete selected folder after confirmation.
r	Refresh the project list.
esc or b	Go back from nested flows.
q	Quit.

Project Hub

Key	Action
up / down or j / k	Select a phase.
enter	Run or open the selected phase.
e	Edit the selected artifact by hand.
p	Open the process manifest.
s	Share the mixtape.
o	Open the project folder.
esc	Go back.
q	Quit.

Quick mode advances review gates automatically. Methodology mode opens the gate review screens so you can inspect and accept the generated artifacts before moving on.

Source Editor

Key	Action
up / down or j / k	Select a source.
t / d / u	Edit title, description, or curator.
m	Toggle quick or methodology mode.
g	Edit the job-to-be-done.
E	Open synthesis.md in $EDITOR.
a / e / x	Add, edit, or remove a source.
K / J	Move a source up or down.
s	Save tape.yaml.
c	Save and compile.
esc	Go back.

The editor blocks compile until synthesis.md exists and no longer contains the starter placeholder.

Source Modal

Key	Action
up / down, j / k, or tab	Move between fields.
enter	Edit the selected field.
T	Toggle source type.
R	Cycle web rendering: auto, JS, server.
p	Toggle required or optional priority.
s	Save the source.
esc	Cancel or leave field editing.

render only applies to web sources. Auto mode tries server HTML first and falls back to Chromium when Liner detects a JavaScript-only page and browser support is available.

Compile Screen

Key	Action
up / down	Scroll sources.
pgup / pgdn	Jump through sources.
esc	Cancel a running compile or return to the hub from results.
j	Install JS rendering support when the compile screen shows that callout.
y	Copy compiled MIXTAPE.md to clipboard.
s	Share compiled mixtape.
o	Open the project folder.
r	Rerun compile or retry a failed compile.
b	Back to hub from results.
q	Quit.

Import

The terminal UI can import .mixtape archives from the browser with i. It scans the current directory, lets you type a path, and extracts into your Liner workspace.

TUI import does not refetch sources. After import, open the folder and compile when you want fresh extracted source files.
