+# TUI Overhaul Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Overhaul the GitOpsCTL TUI to a high-density, K9s-inspired dashboard with Vim-style navigation and a pure black dark theme.
+
+**Architecture:** Component-based refactor of `internal/tui`. Decompose the monolithic model view into specialized renderers for Header, Table, Detail, and Footer. Implement a state machine for view management and a command mode for aliases.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Go, Bubble Tea, Lipgloss, lipgloss.Table.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Update Theme and Styles
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `/Volumes/Seagate/developer/personal/gitopsctl/internal/tui/styles.go`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update palette to K9s-Dark (Pure Black)**

+# Design Spec: K9s-Inspired TUI Enhancement for GitOpsCTL
+
+## 1. Overview
+Enhance the GitOpsCTL Terminal User Interface (TUI) to provide a high-density, high-contrast, and keyboard-driven experience inspired by K9s. The goal is to move from a basic split-screen dashboard to a professional, full-width resource management tool with advanced Vim capabilities.
+
+## 2. UI Architecture
+The TUI will be reorganized into a three-tier layout:
+
+### 2.1 Header (Vitals)
+- **Background**: Pure Black (`#000000`).
+- **Content**:
+  - Left: App Name and Version.
+  - Right: "Vitals" block with live counts:
+    - `APPS`: Total number of applications.
+    - `SYNCED`: Count of apps in 'Synced' state (Green).
+    - `DRIFTED`: Count of apps in 'Drifted' or 'OutOfSync' state (Yellow).
+    - `ERRORS`: Count of apps in 'Error' state (Red).
+    - `CLUSTERS`: Total number of registered clusters.
+- **Style**: High-contrast labels (Cyan) and values (White/Colored).
+
+### 2.2 Main View (Resource Table)
+- **Layout**: Full-width table using `lipgloss.Table`.
+- **Modes**:
+  - **Applications View**: Columns: `NAME`, `STATUS`, `HEALTH`, `REPO`, `BRANCH`, `LAST SYNC`.
+  - **Clusters View**: Columns: `NAME`, `STATUS`, `VERSION`, `KUBECONFIG`, `LAST CHECKED`.
+  - **Activity View**: Full-width log stream.
+  - **Detail View**: Full-page drill-down for a specific app or cluster (triggered by `Enter`).
+
+### 2.3 Footer (Command & Shortcuts)
+- **Command Line**: Prefix `:` with an active cursor. Used for view switching and commands.
+- **Shortcuts Bar**: Quick reference for context-sensitive keys (e.g., `? Help`, `s Sync`, `d Delete`).
+
+## 3. Navigation & Interaction (Vim-Style)
+- **Movement**:
+  - `j`/`k`: Move selection down/up.
+  - `gg`: Jump to top of the list.
+  - `G`: Jump to bottom of the list.
+  - `ctrl+u`/`ctrl+d`: Page up/down.
+- **Views & Commands**:
+  - `:a`: Switch to Applications view.
+  - `:c`: Switch to Clusters view.
+  - `:l`: Switch to Activity view.
+  - `/`: Enter filter mode (live search).
+  - `Enter`: Open Detail View for the selected resource.
+  - `Esc`: Back to previous view or clear filter/command.
+- **Actions**:
+  - `s`: Trigger 'Sync' for the selected application.
+  - `c`: Trigger 'Health Check' for the selected cluster.
+  - `d`: Trigger 'Unregister' with a `y/n` confirmation.
+  - `a`: Trigger 'Approve' for manual sync apps.
+
+## 4. Theme (K9s-Dark)
+- **Palette**:
+  - `BG`: `#000000` (Pure Black)
+  - `FG`: `#FFFFFF` (White)
+  - `Label`: `#00FFFF` (Cyan)
+  - `Border`: `#333333` (Dark Grey)
+  - `Selection`: `#7C6AF7` (Violet background or bold border)
+  - `Success`: `#00FF00` (Green)
+  - `Error`: `#FF0000` (Red)
+  - `Warning`: `#FFFF00` (Yellow)
+
+## 5. Technical Implementation
+- **Framework**: Bubble Tea with Lipgloss.
+- **Components**: Decompose `internal/tui/model.go` logic into smaller functional units:
+  - `Header`: Renders the vitals.
+  - `Table`: Generic table component for resources.
+  - `Detail`: Detail page renderer.
+  - `Command`: Command line handler.
+- **State Management**:
+  - Track `activeView` (apps, clusters, logs, detail).
+  - Track `commandMode` (idle, command, filter).
+  - Use a `cursor` index for each view to preserve position when switching.
+
+## 6. Success Criteria
+- [ ] User can switch between apps and clusters using `:a` and `:c`.
+- [ ] Vim keys (`gg`, `G`, `j`, `k`) work as expected in list views.
+- [ ] The theme is pure black with high-contrast colored text.
+- [ ] 'Enter' drills down into a full-page detail view.
+- [ ] All existing actions (Sync, Unregister) are accessible via the new interface.
