Description

Summary

The Terminal Toolkit currently has limited capabilities for managing and installing dependencies. This proposal aims to enhance it with smarter dependency resolution and installation support.

Motivation

  • Users often need to install packages or resolve missing dependencies within terminal-based workflows.
    • The current toolkit lacks robust handling for dependency detection, installation, and conflict resolution.

Proposed Enhancements

  • Auto-detect missing dependencies when a command fails due to unresolved imports or packages.
    • Support multiple package managers (pip, npm, apt, conda, etc.) based on context.
      • Provide clear error messages and suggested fixes when dependency installation fails.
        • Allow user confirmation before installing to avoid unintended changes.

Expected Outcome

A more robust and user-friendly terminal toolkit that can seamlessly handle dependency management, reducing friction in development workflows.
