## Definition

**Terminal Wire** — a term used in this channel's captured material on agent-native software, appearing in a live build session that converts a traditional email app into agent-native software via a CLI-first approach [^aa20e0e7@0]. The assigned source does not transcribe a precise definition; the term should be understood in the context of that session's Compound Engineering workflow rather than through any outside meaning.

This entry explains how **Terminal Wire** is used in this channel's material about **agent-native software** and **Compound Engineering** [^aa20e0e7@0]. It appears in the live build session where Kieran — GM of Cora at Every — converts a traditional email app into agent-native software, exploring why a CLI is the practical first step toward an agent-native architecture and how the plan → work → review → triage → compound workflow turns that idea into shipped, reviewed code.  Explore the related topic **Compound Engineering Methodology** to understand the surrounding loop, and the build session itself to see the term in working context.
