Summary

Add a second tab to the TUI for browsing AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, aider, Windsurf, Goose, Zed).

Features

Core Infrastructure

Static agent catalog in data/agents.json with metadata (pricing, categories, providers, platform support)
CLI detection that scans PATH and common locations to find installed tools and their versions
User config at ~/.config/models/config.toml for tracking preferences

GitHub Integration

Live data via gh api: stars, latest versions, changelogs, release dates
1-hour cache to minimize API calls
Graceful degradation if GitHub is unavailable

Tab-based UI

[/] navigation between Models and Agents tabs
Categories panel (All, Installed, CLI Tools, IDEs, Open Source) with counts
Agents table showing name, installed version, latest version, stars, and status
Rich detail pane with version comparison, badges, and changelog

Picker Modal

a key opens add/remove picker
Toggle which agents you're tracking
Persists to config file

Actions

o open docs
r open GitHub repo
c copy name
u copy update command
Filters with 1/2/3 keys

Automation

gh-aw workflow for weekly data updates from artificialanalysis.ai

New Dependencies

semver - Version comparison
dirs - Cross-platform config paths
toml - Config file parsing

Test Plan

cargo test - 8 tests passing
cargo clippy -- -D warnings - No warnings
Manual testing: run cargo run -- tui, switch tabs, test GitHub data, picker, filters

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Design for a second TUI tab to browse AI coding assistants with: - gh-aw agent for weekly data scraping from artificialanalysis.ai - GitHub API integration for releases/changelogs (cached, lazy-loaded) - CLI detection for installed tools with version comparison - User config persistence at ~/.config/models/config.toml - Add/remove picker for tracking tools Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Detailed step-by-step plan covering: - Phase 1: Core infrastructure (deps, data structures, config) - Phase 2: CLI detection - Phase 3: TUI tab system - Phase 4: Agents tab implementation - Phase 5: Polish and gh-aw workflow Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

- Add imports for load_agents and Config - Load agents file and config at startup - Pass agents_file and config to App::new - Simplify run_app function Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Replace placeholder functions with full agents tab implementation: - Categories panel showing All, Installed, CLI Tools, IDEs, Open Source - Agent list with columns for name, installed version, latest version, status - Detail panel showing agent name, repo, versions, pricing, providers, categories - Proper focus highlighting for panels (cyan when focused, gray otherwise) - Header row with underline styling in agent list - Selection state management with offset for header row Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Add comprehensive event handling for the Agents tab: - Add new Message variants for agent navigation and actions - Implement tab-aware key handling (global vs tab-specific keys) - Support j/k navigation for categories and agents - Add h/l/Tab focus switching between panels - Add filter toggles (1/2/3 for installed/cli/open-source) - Add actions: o=open docs, r=open repo, c=copy name Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Add GitHubClient that fetches repository stars, issues, license, and release info using the `gh api` CLI. Includes 1-hour cache TTL to minimize API calls. - GitHubClient with fetch/fetch_fresh methods - RepoResponse and ReleaseResponse structs for API parsing - format_stars() for human-readable star counts (e.g., "12.3k") - format_relative_time() to extract date from ISO timestamps - Unit tests for formatting functions Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Add GitHubClient integration to the TUI to fetch live GitHub data for agents: - Add refresh_github_data() method to AgentsApp for bulk fetching - Add refresh_agent_github() method for single agent refresh - Add github_client field to App struct - Call refresh_github_data() on startup in mod.rs Errors are handled gracefully - GitHub data is optional and failures don't crash the app. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Add state fields and methods for the agent add/remove picker modal: - show_picker, picker_selected, picker_changes fields - open_picker, close_picker, picker_toggle_current methods - picker_next, picker_prev, picker_save navigation methods - Message variants: OpenPicker, ClosePicker, PickerNext, PickerPrev, PickerToggle, PickerSave Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Add keybindings to open and interact with the picker modal: - 'a' to open picker when on Agents tab - j/k or arrows to navigate picker items - space to toggle selection - enter to save and close - esc to cancel Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Draw a centered popup modal for adding/removing tracked agents. The modal shows checkboxes with agent name (bold), category (gray), and installed status. Includes title and keybinding hints in footer. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Wire up picker message handlers to call the appropriate AgentsApp methods. Add config field to App struct to enable picker_save functionality. Remove #[allow(dead_code)] attributes from picker methods and fields. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Add 'u' key in Agents tab to copy the update command for the current agent to clipboard (e.g., "npm update -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code"). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>
