Terminal atoms

Session opener: typed $ cmd, dim output line, big phosphor title with blinking cursor, → dek.

Boxes-and-arrows architecture diagram: chain (vertical flow with labeled arrows) or fan (hub → children). accent:true node glows.

Life-of-a-request trace: timestamped steps down a rail, status dots ok/warn/err. THE scene for 'what happens after you click Pay'.

Story told in log lines: [INFO]/[WARN]/[ERROR]/[OK] colored levels type on sequentially. ERROR beats land hard.

Code block with line numbers; highlight[] indexes get accent bar + bright text. Comments auto-dim.

Git diff: struck − lines (red tint) then + lines (green tint). Perfect for 'why X stopped doing Y'.

One typed command + its output lines + accent → note.

Big phosphor metric + optional ASCII bar rows (▮▮▮▯▯). ONLY sourced numbers — never invent.

TUI menu: options list, selected row gets > accent highlight box.

tmux two-pane compare; win:true pane gets accent border + ✓, loser dims. Monolith vs microservices.

exit 0 close: $ echo done, accent cta, → handle with cursor.

MAGNETIC overview hook, tmux-skinned: the topic as a window-pane grid (pane title chips, preview lines, mono) that MINIMIZES into a bottom status bar of window entries. Text-only phosphor register. Open the reel with it; first frame = cover.

One window of the atlas: persistent tmux status bar at the bottom with the active entry reverse-video, typed opening command, ## header + mono arrow rows.

BIOS/POST boot opener: check lines flash OK, memcheck counts, screen clears, and the title mounts as the OS name with a blinking cursor.

Aligned mono table: uppercase column headers over a rule, rows type in, hit:true reverse-videos the row the narration is about.

Time series drawn as a glowing phosphor trace over a dashed grid, endpoint dot, optional axis ticks. series[] is geometry only — never printed.

htop-style resource table: PID / COMMAND / block bar / usage, the heaviest row lit in the accent. For "what is actually eating your X".

Dashboard rows: label, drawn-on sparkline, verbatim value and signed delta. Several metrics at once without a full chart each.

Grid of terminal panes, each a KPI: caps label, big mono value, optional sub and block bar. The four numbers that describe a system.

Latency/size distribution: bins grow left to right with dashed percentile markers (p50/p95/p99) standing over the histogram.

Flamegraph: stack levels grow from the root upward, widths are pct of total time, hot:true burns the frame that owns it. For "where the time actually goes".

tree/du listing: ├── └── connectors by depth, verbatim sizes and magnitude bars. Hierarchy and weight in one shot.

Contribution-style heat grid: cells 0-4 fill column by column in weeks of seven, with a less→more legend. Activity over a long window.

hyperfine-style benchmark: one block per contender with a relative bar, verbatim timing, ± stddev and the fastest row marked ✓.

Second opener, the SUBJECT-FIRST hook: the subject as an eyebrow, the title composed at frame 0, a curiosity line under it. Optional `series` {name,no,date} for an episode strip and `videoUrl` for a muted clip behind the title. Use when the system's default hook was used in the last reels.

Top-X ranking with a countdown reveal (N first, #1 last), a "ranked by" criterion line, optional logos/values/deltas, #1 emphasis, teaseTop and a comment prompt. 3-7 rows.

Source card: publication, date, id (DOI/filing/CVE), status chip (peer-reviewed / preprint / filing / company-claim / reported). Put it right after the claim it supports.

Multiple-choice question; the correct option reveals ~60% in. No `correct` on any option = an open poll. Comments are answers.

Term → definition, with optional jargon and a PLAIN line (explain it to a 12-year-old). The beat most science/finance reels are missing.

Two-beat reversal: the myth struck through, the fact in the accent, optional source line.

Both states on screen at once: before (muted) vs after (accent), optional delta line.

The researcher's/executive's own sentence with attribution, role, status chip and optional logo.

Dated spine, 3-6 moments, one marked hot.

The one-line takeaway, big, with an optional ruled note under it.

A vs B: two cards of lines, optional winner and a verdict strap.

Numbered list, 2-6 items with optional sub-lines. Exact count in the hook.

Pick one of 2-4 options (Real / Hype / Priced-in) with a reason and optional confidence bar. A recurring, comment-able brand beat.

Rows × columns with a winner per row and a verdict: the 3-way comparison cmp-vs cannot do.

An X / Instagram / LinkedIn post rendered as a card in this system's voice: name, handle, text, metrics, optional reading line. The receipt for a claim; get_x_post supplies the fields.

A covered answer that lifts on a beat. Cover: bar | blur | sticker | scribble, optional image behind, coverLabel ("TAP TO REVEAL"), prompt. The completion contract: ask first (quiz), then reveal.

Itemised receipt: 2-8 lines with values (count up), total, diagonal stamp (PAID / DUE / VOID), footer. Deal terms, trip costs, "worth the money".

Checkbox list, 2-7 items; ticks draw on beats; done:false leaves a box empty. Safety routines, "before you…" utility.

DON'T first (negative framing performs), then DO: two cards, 1-4 lines each.

S/A/B/C… tier rows, 2-6 tiers of 1-5 items, a "ranked by" criterion and a comment prompt. Items slide in tier by tier.

4 or 8 seeds; rounds[] = winners per round (last round one name). Winners light round by round, losers strike; the champion box is last.

Full-column photo with kicker, caption, credit. `freeze` holds the still N frames before a slow push-in (freeze-to-motion). Captures / Unsplash URLs.

Exactly three horizontal bands (label + line, optional photo, optional value) revealed in sequence. "What I wore / where I went / what I ate".

"That one person who…": the archetype big, 2-5 tells, a tag-a-friend CTA. The format people tag each other on.

A photo with a ringed detail at focus {x,y,r}; everything else dims and the frame zooms toward the ring. "The exact moment…" / "look at the hands".

A run of 3-7 one-liners with a fixed prefix ("Kinda chic to…"), one card lit per beat, the others receding. The carousel-in-a-video.

The same subject over time: 3-5 columns (week 1 / 4 / 8) with a value bar or a photo each, the last column in the accent, optional delta line.

Two labelled voices, 2-8 alternating lines; the current line is loud, older ones recede. The create tools give each line its own voice and timing when `narration[i]` is an array of {who,text}.

terminal atoms, round 1 — built for ARCHITECTURE EXPLAINERS:

terminal/atoms4: the top-N showcase card, terminal register (2026-08-28).

The logo bar chart in phosphor: one authored metric across 3-10 things, a mark (logo domain, url, monogram or flag) under each bar, negatives below the axis, the biggest outlined. Always name the source.

Keyboard shortcuts as rows of inline keycaps with the action written beside each row, one row optionally lit in the accent. Use for shell or editor binding listicles, where trm-table would read as data rather than keys you press.

One prompt typed across the top and two model panes under it, each counting up its own measured latency and cost above the sample it produced (mono text lines or an image). Use it for model bake-offs where the numbers are the story.
