+## TUI Client (Deprecated)

-For terminal-based workflows, goose provides a TUI (Terminal User Interface) client that communicates with goose via ACP. This is useful for developers who prefer working entirely in the terminal or need a lightweight alternative to the desktop app.
+:::warning Deprecated
+The experimental terminal UI (TUI) client, formerly published to npm as `@aaif/goose`, is no longer maintained and has been removed. Use the [CLI](/docs/getting-started/installation) or the desktop app instead.

 Set the `GOOSE_SERVER__SECRET_KEY` environment variable to authenticate the ACP endpoint. `goose serve` refuses to start without this secret unless you explicitly pass `--dangerously-unauthenticated`:
