The TUI

Run flow tui to open a tabbed full-screen app. On an interactive terminal, running flow on its own does the same thing.

The tabs

• New - You can describe a flow and generate it with a model you pick. The live token tail streams as it drafts. You can also load an existing .flow by path or pasted DSL. The proposed graph renders as a node tree with a one-paragraph plan. From there you can apply it to run it in the monitor, or save it as a template. An autonomous toggle hands the whole generate → run → re-plan loop to the engine.
• Templates - This tab has a templates table, a template detail that shows the flow graph as an indented tree labeled by node kind, and a live run monitor.
• History - This tab has a runs table and a per-run detail with node outputs.

The run monitor

The monitor shows a progress bar, the graph as a status-colored tree with per-node durations, and a timestamped event log. flow run --tui <target> jumps straight into the monitor for a single run. On an interactive terminal, flow run on its own opens it automatically. To stay headless, pass --no-tui, --json, or pipe the output.

Everything renders in the Flow brand motif. Diamonds are nodes, joined by tree connectors and colored by status.

The New tab has its own keys. Type to describe the flow, then use g to generate, m to cycle the model, A to toggle autonomous, l to switch between describe and load, a to apply and run, and s to save as a template. The terminal is restored on exit and on panic.
