Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to interact with Streamlit applications directly, allowing them to inspect state, modify variables, and trigger reruns within a live app session. It bridges the gap between code execution and UI interaction for debugging purposes.
When to use it
- Debugging complex state management issues in Streamlit dashboards where variable changes aren't immediately visible.
- Simulating user interactions to verify how an app behaves under specific input conditions without manual testing.
- Isolating logic errors by programmatically resetting app state and re-executing specific parts of the script.
- Validating data flow between different widgets in a multi-step Streamlit form or application.
Key capabilities
- Direct inspection of current application state and variable values.
- Programmatic modification of existing variables to test conditional logic.
- Triggering app reruns to observe immediate effects of state changes.
- Integration with the Streamlit runtime environment for real-time feedback.
Example prompts
- "Inspect the current value of the
user_datavariable in this running Streamlit app." - "Set the
is_logged_inflag to false and rerun the app to see how the dashboard updates." - "Trigger a rerun of the script after modifying the
filter_criteriainput to check for errors."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure the target Streamlit application is running in an environment accessible to the AI agent's execution context. This skill is specifically designed for debugging; do not use it to alter production data or persist changes outside the session scope.
