# Terminal card

> A real shell on the canvas — for you, or for an agent to run commands in.

A **terminal card** is an ordinary shell in your project folder: Windows PowerShell, PowerShell 7,
Command Prompt, Bash (Git Bash) or your system's default shell. Pick one under **Terminals** in the add menu.

## Use it yourself

Type commands as in any terminal. Right-click for Copy / Paste / Select all, `Ctrl F` to
search, `Ctrl` + scroll to change the text size.

## Let an agent use it

Draw an [arrow](https://docs.neurosquad.ai/en/canvas/arrows) from an agent to the terminal. The agent will run its commands
**here**, where you can see them, instead of hidden inside its own window. Long-running things —
a dev server, a test watcher — are best given a terminal card each.

**Good for:** starting your app, running tests, watching logs while the agent works.
