 "title": "Put a moving scene behind your terminal shell",
 "page_title": "How to put a moving scene behind your terminal shell with Limoni",
 "summary": "Run backdrop-shell so an animated scene sits behind your shell text in any terminal.",
 "who": "A terminal user who wants a decorative animated background without slowing down their shell.",
 "problem": "Most terminals show a plain background, and adding a moving scene usually costs CPU and clutters the text.",
 "outcome": "An animated scene behind the shell, with the text in front kept sharp and adjustable opacity that changes in every open terminal.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thebanri/limoni/main/apps/backdrop-shell/install.sh | sh`",
  "Run `backdrop-shell enable -scene synthwave` to turn on the synthwave scene",
  "Run `backdrop-shell opacity 0.3` to make the scene quieter in every open terminal"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Install backdrop-shell from the repo at https://github.com/thebanri/limoni with the install.sh script, then run backdrop-shell enable -scene <scene> and backdrop-shell opacity <value>. Report the command output and confirm the scene is active in the terminal.",

  "Go toolchain installed (for go install, go get, go run and go test)",
  "A terminal that supports the app's output (images and some features depend on the terminal)",
  "For the MCP use case: an MCP client such as Claude Code or Cursor, and limoni-mcp available on PATH (the README does not show how to install it)",
  "For the backdrop use case: curl, sh, and a terminal emulator"
