On the flicker free console as well as agent agnostic front, also see BatrachianAI's Toad (https://github.com/batrachianai/toad). Maybe you two should/could collaborate.
good callout, I've seen Will McGugan's work on textual and rich before and that really pushed forward the Python+terminal ecosystem in the past five years. I've seen a lot of CLI tools coalesce on the rust and go ecosystems, for various reasons (uv, fzf, helix, just, etc). But I didn't know toad had gone open source now, very excited to check it out!
our vision with Nori CLI is to smooth the headache of hooking in skills and other customizations into any agent that's running under the hood, which I think is exactly in line with that. I see that Toad is also built on top of the ACP approach, so there's definitely an overlap or possible integration
