tui-test is a rust powered cli for controlling, inspecting, testing, and recording shell sessions and terminal apps. It supports all standard terminal actions (send keys, mouse clicks) & user actions (screenshot, record sessions), & testing (matches screenshot, contains text). supports Windows, Linux, & macOS and it supports a wide range of shells (see Supported shells). [!IMPORTANT] is in the middle of a major re-write, the documentation reflects the beta releases Programmatic usage provides a Rust, Python and Node libraries. These libraries are independent of the cli Rust () rust use tuitest::{OpenOptions, Operation, Session}; fn main() - Result { let session = Session::new(format!("rust-example-{}", std::process::id())); session.open(OpenOptions::default())?; session.execute(Operation::Submit { data: Some("echo hello".into()), })?; session.execute(Operation::WaitCommand { timeoutms: Some(30000), })?; session.execute(Operation::ExpectText { text: "hello".into(), regex: false, full: false, strict: false, not: false, fg: None, bg: None, timeoutms: Some(5000), })?; session.execute(Operation::ExpectExitCode { code: 0, timeoutm

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
