What it does

Formax Expanded Transcript Workflow is an agent skill from yusifeng/formax. Use when implementing/debugging Ctrl+O Expanded Transcript (second view) and thinking persistence in the REPL.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Terminal-first AI assistant for software engineering tasks (inspired by Claude Code v2.0.67). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing/debugging Ctrl+O Expanded Transcript (second view) and thinking persistence in the REPL

Example prompts

  • “/formax-expanded-transcript-workflow”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Lock the semantic source first: thinking_delta persistence and transcript projection rules before renderer polish.
  2. Keep default transcript low-noise and Expanded Transcript read-only.
  3. Preserve compact / expanded ordering before adjusting footer or panel layout.
  4. If clear / remount logic changes, route through the shared surface reset path instead of local Static workarounds.
  5. Run the regression set below before review.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b0c3f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Formax Expanded Transcript Workflow loads about 815 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 310 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~815

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when implementing/debugging Ctrl+O Expanded Transcript (second view) and thinking persistence in the REPL.

formax-expanded-transcript-workflow

Goal

Use this skill when changing Ctrl+O expanded transcript behavior, thinking persistence, or compact / expanded projection boundaries in the REPL.

Read First

  • docs/contracts/transcript-surface-contract.md
  • docs/contracts/semantics-contract.md
  • docs/runbooks/repl-surface-debugging.md when the change can affect clear / remount behavior

These docs are canonical. If stable expanded-transcript behavior changes, update them before or with code.

If the change touches clear / remount ownership directly, also use formax-surface-reset-workflow.

Code Map

  • Key handling: packages/core/src/screens/repl/hotkeys.ts
  • View wiring + footer: packages/core/src/screens/REPL.tsx
  • Compact projection: packages/core/src/screens/repl/compactProjection.ts
  • Transcript rendering: packages/core/src/screens/repl/transcript.tsx
  • Thinking persistence: packages/core/src/features/repl/controller/streaming/streaming.ts
  • Expanded Transcript panels: packages/core/src/screens/repl/panels.tsx
  • Compact command lifecycle: packages/core/src/features/repl/controller/send/send.ts
  • Surface reset owner: packages/core/src/screens/repl/useSurfaceTransitionManager.ts

High-Signal Patterns

  • No fake thinking:
    • thinking_delta is the only source of truth
    • never synthesize thinking rows from timers or summaries
  • Avoid Static hacks for toggles:
    • Static is append-only; if content must disappear, use reset / remount ownership instead of trying to "unrender" it
  • One footer:
    • prefer a single global footer; avoid per-panel footer duplication
  • Compact ordering contract:
    • keep banner -> summary (expanded only) -> > /compact ... -> compact subline
  • UI vs LLM orthogonality:
    • transcript slicing and ui.kind remain independent from prompt-history packing and reminder injection

Minimal Workflow

  1. Lock the semantic source first: thinking_delta persistence and transcript projection rules before renderer polish.
  2. Keep default transcript low-noise and Expanded Transcript read-only.
  3. Preserve compact / expanded ordering before adjusting footer or panel layout.
  4. If clear / remount logic changes, route through the shared surface reset path instead of local Static workarounds.
  5. Run the regression set below before review.

Minimum Regression

  • bun run test -- packages/core/src/screens/repl/compactProjection.test.ts packages/core/src/screens/repl/expandedTranscript.test.tsx packages/core/src/screens/repl/hotkeys.test.tsx
  • bun run test -- packages/core/src/screens/repl/surfaceSmoke.test.tsx
  • bun run test:surface-screen-model
  • bun run type-check

Guardrails

  • Do not introduce synthetic thinking or show thinking when the model did not emit thinking_delta.
  • Do not let Ctrl+O steal input while prompt mode or overlays are active.
  • Do not move header / messages outside Static to “fix” duplication; solve ownership and remount boundaries instead.
  • Expanded Transcript stays read-only; do not quietly turn it into an interactive input surface.
