Canonical Terminal.app appearance for any machine running Slab. This is the single source of truth for the look — capture it once on a reference machine, commit it, and slab-seed-terminal reproduces it byte-for-byte on every new machine.

What's here #

terminal-profiles.plist — the Grass base profile plus every Slab-<state>-<dark|light>[-pulse] settings set (the named profiles the Slab menubar switches between per Claude Code session status). Colors + font are captured verbatim.
terminal-profiles.list — plain-text manifest of the profile names in the plist (the installer reads names from here, not by parsing the binary plist).
fonts/ — Monaspace Argon (Regular/Bold/Italic/BoldItalic/Medium/Light), the font the profiles reference. Installed into ~/Library/Fonts.

Install / redeploy on a machine #

slab-seed-terminal            # merge profiles + set Grass as default & startup
slab-seed-terminal --no-default   # profiles only, leave default profile alone
slab-seed-terminal --seed PATH    # use an alternate seed plist

install.sh calls this automatically. Quit Terminal first (the script does this for you) so its in-memory copy doesn't clobber the plist edits on exit; relaunch Terminal afterward.

Re-capture the seed (when you tweak the palette on the reference machine) #

The Slab menubar can create/adjust the Slab-* sets live. Once they look right, re-export them into this seed:

node ../bin/slab-capture-terminal.mjs   # or the python snippet in that file's header

This rewrites terminal-profiles.plist + .list from the current machine's com.apple.Terminal preferences (Grass + all Slab-* sets). Commit the result.
