Terminal UI

brico ui opens a full-screen terminal interface for browsing and inspecting the Vault.

Available
bash
brico ui
brico --vault ~/team-vault ui     # browse a different Vault

brico ui opens a full-screen interface in your terminal that shows the Vault as a grid of bricks. It is the quickest way to see what your team already has before you start something new.

What you see

  • The grid. Every brick in the Vault, filterable as you type.
  • Brick details. For the selected brick: its version history, tags, required environment variables, files and dependencies, all read from its manifest.
  • Doctor. The same checks as brico doctor.
  • Extract. Inside a NestJS or Next.js project, the candidate bricks ranked by confidence, the same list as brico extract.

Read-only by design

The interface only displays information. It doesn’t install, capture or delete anything. Every fact comes from the same engine functions the commands use, so the interface and the commands can’t disagree. To act on what you find, quit and use brico add or brico capture.
