Formerly ASO PRO.

Kite now ships with TerminalCore, a premium hybrid CLI + TUI control plane for terminal-first workflows.

The repo still contains the ASO platform code under src/aso_platform/, but it now also includes a reusable Python-native terminal shell that can power:

• setup and onboarding flows
• environment-aware status checks
• log browsing
• task execution
• settings management
• full-screen keyboard-driven dashboards

This shell is generic by design, so the UI/UX and architecture are production-grade even when the underlying business logic is demo data.

Why Python Instead Of Node

The original project already used a Python terminal stack, so TerminalCore was implemented natively in Python instead of forcing a new TypeScript runtime into the repo.

The result:

• argparse + Rich for clean command output
• Textual for the full-screen TUI
• reusable config and adapter layers
• console entrypoints for terminalcore and tc

Features

TerminalCore Shell

• direct CLI commands for power users
• interactive first-run setup wizard
• full-screen responsive dashboard
• warm Claude-inspired palette
• keyboard-first navigation
• clean config system under ~/.terminalcore/config.json
• doctor checks
• logs, tasks, settings, and help screens
• reusable adapter layer for swapping in real backend logic later

Existing Kite Platform

• app inspection by package ID
• keyword discovery from category + seed text
• keyword rank snapshots
• governed free/legal source registry
• workspace-based ASO baseline flow

Installation

Install Python dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Optional: install local console entrypoints so terminalcore and tc work directly:

pip install -e .

Quick Start

TerminalCore

First run:

python terminalcore.py

Or, after editable install:

terminalcore

Run the setup wizard directly:

terminalcore init

Open the dashboard:

terminalcore dashboard

Check status:

terminalcore status

Run doctor:

terminalcore doctor

Existing ASO Commands

python aso.py
python -m src.aso_platform.cli doctor
python -m src.aso_platform.cli keywords --category tools --seed "bmi calculator"
python -m src.aso_platform.cli workspace baseline calc-lab

Expanded local ASO intelligence commands:

python -m src.aso_platform.cli keywords build --category tools --seed "bmi calculator"
python -m src.aso_platform.cli keywords score "bmi calculator,loan calculator" --app-text "calculator finance tools"
python -m src.aso_platform.cli rank history "calculator" com.example.app
python -m src.aso_platform.cli rank delta "calculator" com.example.app
python -m src.aso_platform.cli share-of-voice "calculator,bmi calculator" com.example.app --competitors com.comp.one
python -m src.aso_platform.cli competitors add calc-lab com.comp.one,com.comp.two
python -m src.aso_platform.cli competitors gap calc-lab
python -m src.aso_platform.cli audit metadata com.example.app --keywords "calculator,bmi"
python -m src.aso_platform.cli reviews analyze com.example.app --count 50
python -m src.aso_platform.cli localization audit com.example.app --markets en-us,en-gb --keywords calculator
python -m src.aso_platform.cli ios inspect com.example.ios --country us
python -m src.aso_platform.cli reports export calc-lab --file reports/calc-lab.md --export-format md
python -m src.aso_platform.cli alerts check "calculator" com.example.app
python -m src.aso_platform.cli sources health

SaaS MVP Web Console

Run the local SaaS-style dashboard:

python -m src.aso_platform.cli saas --port 8787

Open:

http://127.0.0.1:8787

The web console provides local account/workspace creation, project tracking, baseline analysis, metadata audits, keyword scoring, saved analysis history, and source-governance status. Data is stored locally in data/aso_saas.sqlite3.

Command Reference

TerminalCore

terminalcore
terminalcore init
terminalcore dashboard
terminalcore status
terminalcore run
terminalcore logs
terminalcore logs --tail
terminalcore logs --level error
terminalcore config list
terminalcore config get theme
terminalcore config set environment staging
terminalcore config reset
terminalcore doctor
terminalcore help

Command Behavior

• terminalcore: opens the dashboard, and launches first-run setup when config is missing.
• terminalcore init: guided setup wizard.
• terminalcore dashboard: full-screen TUI.
• terminalcore status: clean CLI health summary.
• terminalcore run: demo task run with progress.
• terminalcore logs: filtered or tail logs.
• terminalcore config: inspect or mutate config.
• terminalcore doctor: environment and config checks.
• terminalcore help: command reference.

TUI Navigation

Keyboard bindings:

• q quit
• Ctrl+C quit safely
• Enter open selected section
• ↑↓ or j/k move through the sidebar
• ← return to dashboard
• → open selected section
• / focus search when available
• ? open help
• r refresh current screen
• d run the primary action
• l open logs
• s open settings
• Esc close modal or return

Theme

TerminalCore uses a warm terminal palette centered around:

• background #1E1A17
• surfaces #2A241F, #332B25, #3B322B
• primary text #F4EFE7
• muted text #8F8175
• accent #D97745
• success #7FA66A
• warning #D0A24C
• error #C7655A
• info #7DA7C7

If true color is unavailable, the shell degrades gracefully to the terminal's supported palette.

Config

Location:

~/.terminalcore/config.json

Example:

{
  "workspaceName": "TerminalCore",
  "environment": "development",
  "theme": "claude-warm",
  "demoData": true,
  "createdAt": "2026-05-16T00:00:00+00:00",
  "version": "1.0.0"
}

If the config is missing or invalid:

• first-run opens the setup wizard
• CLI commands show friendly errors
• terminalcore doctor and terminalcore config reset are suggested fixes

python tc.py status

Customization Guide

TerminalCore is designed to be replaceable behind the adapter boundary:

• swap DemoSystemAdapter with a real adapter
• keep ConfigStore for local state
• reuse the same CLI and TUI shell
• add domain-specific cards, tables, and doctor checks
• preserve the warm theme or provide additional theme modules

Free And Legal ASO Policy

The Kite ASO subsystem remains intentionally conservative:

• public data only
• approved free public access patterns only
• no login bypass, paywall bypass, CAPTCHA circumvention, or anti-bot evasion
• uncertain sources are disabled instead of used silently

The source policy lives in config/source_registry.json.
