Terminus Skill — Development skill for Claude Code

terminus-skill

A Claude Code skill for working with [Terminus](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/terminus), Pantheon's official CLI.

What this skill does

When active, Claude Code can:

• Infer the correct Terminus command from a natural-language request
• Discover valid commands via terminus list and terminus help rather than guessing
• Know about all official Pantheon plugins and community plugins, with exact command names
• Guide scripting and CI/CD integration patterns
• Refuse to suggest commands, flags, or subcommands that don't exist
• Know when (rarely) to call the Terminus API directly instead of using the CLI

Requirements

• Terminus 4.x installed (brew install terminus on macOS)
• PHP 8.2+
• An active Pantheon account with a machine token

Terminus 3.x is also supported with minor differences.

Installation

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jazzsequence/terminus-skill/main/install.sh)

The skill will be available as `terminus` in Claude Code.
