Awesome Tern

Plugins, apps, tools and resources for Tern, Stencil's terminal.

Tern is a Rust-native terminal from Stencil. Shells, omp agents and browser panes keep running in a daemon when the window closes, and come back after a reboot. One session can be open on the desktop app, on iOS and in a WebGPU browser tab at the same time; typing in one shows up in the others. tern remote serve serves a remote machine's sessions over QUIC.

Tern is in closed beta; request access through the waitlist, and join the discussion in the omp Discord.

Plugins are written in Luau and installed with tern plugin install github.com/OWNER/REPO (see the plugin CLI reference). Apps are standalone programs that draw their own UI in a Tern pane over the Tern Surface Protocol (TSP); install them as their README describes.

Each entry shows what kind of project it is, its GitHub stars and how long ago it was last updated; the legend explains the labels.

Building for Tern

Documentation, SDKs and starting points for writing your own Tern plugins and apps.

Documentation

Project	About
Tern plugin book	Official documentation covering host and window runtimes, lenses, blocks, native views, styling, and TSP.
Getting Started	Walkthrough of building a lens and palette command, then linking, type-checking, and reloading.
Command Lenses	Explains how to turn command output into native views using manifest globs and host callbacks.
Debugging	Covers toasts, logs, Luau typing, handler budgets, and scripted window control.
Plugin CLI	Reference for tern plugin list, install, link, unlink, remove, reload, dir, and types.
Tern Surface Protocol	Specifies the in-band protocol where CLIs, TUIs, and agents send UI trees that Tern lays out and draws natively.

SDKs and protocol libraries
