# Terminal

The Terminal offers power users full control over agent creation, task submission, and branching logic.

* A command-line-meets-IDE interface where users input instructions, tasks, or agent constraints.
* Contextual autocomplete surfaces pre-built task types, supported datasets, available evaluator suites, and configuration templates as you type.
* Advanced users can tweak fork-budgets, model temperature, structural mutation rates, or toggle optional modules (e.g., RAG, tool use, memory).
* Before submitting, a real-time diff viewer highlights exactly what will change from the previous run (e.g., prompt mutations, evaluator shift).
* After execution, the task ID appears in the Tree of Life immediately—allowing you to track evolution in real time.

The Terminal is especially suited for researchers, developers, and optimization engineers who want to push Darwin’s evolution mechanics toward novel goals.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.darwinslab.ai/ux-tree-of-life-terminal-journal-sessions/terminal.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
