Built for real terminal work
Color where operators need signal.
Interactive shell wrapping
Start one wrapped shell with ptty /bin/zsh, then use normal
SSH, telnet, and console workflows without changing habits.
ChromaTerm-compatible rules
Load existing YAML rules, add native profiles, validate profile files, and reload long-running sessions after config changes.
Dynamic profile switching
One wrapped shell follows changing device context.
PrismTTY observes login banners, prompts, and typed remote-jump commands. It can move from a local Unix shell into network device sessions while keeping normal command output from churning the selected profile.
