#+TITLE: OpenCortex TUI Client (Standalone)
#+STARTUP: content
#+FILETAGS: :tui:ux:client:

* Overview
The OpenCortex TUI Client is a standalone Common Lisp application built on **Croatoan** (a high-level CLOS wrapper for ncurses). It provides a real-time, multi-window interface for interacting with the OpenCortex daemon.
