About this skill

PaperSpine UI

Use this branch whenever paper_spine_config.json is missing, incomplete, or the user asks to configure PaperSpine interactively.

Required Behavior

The supported interaction is a real terminal window launched by the installed launch_paperspine_ui.ps1 (resolve its absolute path under ~/.codex/skills/... or ~/.claude/skills/...). Do not run input()-based Python inside a hidden tool surface when the host cannot expose stdin.

In Claude Code, /paperspine must call this branch automatically when config is missing.

In Codex, launching this window opens a visible GUI/terminal, which Codex treats as an escalated action — request it with sandbox_permissions: require_escalated, or the window will not reliably appear. Launch the UI as the first action when config is missing; do not infer config from materials instead.

# Pass the ABSOLUTE path to the installed launcher. Codex/Claude run from the
# user's project folder, where `scripts/` does not exist, so a relative path is
# the most common reason the UI window never opens. Resolve the install dir:
$launcher = @(
  "$env:USERPROFILE\.codex\skills\paper-spine-ui\scripts\launch_paperspine_ui.ps1",
  "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\paper-spine-ui\scripts\launch_paperspine_ui.ps1",
  "$env:USERPROFILE\.codex\skills\paper-spine-intake\scripts\launch_paperspine_ui.ps1",
  "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\paper-spine-intake\scripts\launch_paperspine_ui.ps1"
) | Where-Object { Test-Path $_ } | Select-Object -First 1
powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $launcher -OutputDir paper_rewriting_output

If no separate window appears (headless or sandboxed Codex with no interactive desktop), add -InPlace to run the wizard in the current terminal instead; if stdin is still not interactive, fall back to numbered menus or native questions. Never silently skip configuration.

The UI writes:

paper_rewriting_output/paper_spine_config.json
paper_rewriting_output/paper_spine_config.md

UI Contract

  • Open a separate interactive terminal window when possible.
  • Provide a full-screen terminal UI when a real Windows terminal is available: centered welcome screen, white ridge wordmark, readable field/option panels, and a stable 30% field list plus 70% detail panel.
  • Use Up/Down for field navigation, Left/Right for choice fields, Enter for text/list editing, S to save, and Q to quit.
  • Show only one active field's reasoning and value details on the right panel; do not dump a long JSON-like checklist into the chat.
  • Fall back to numbered terminal menus only when arrow-key UI is unavailable.
  • Use chat questions only when terminal execution is impossible.
  • Never require the user to manually write JSON.
