generative-ui

A skill for creating interactive terminal interfaces, such as live dashboards or file browsers, while an agent is working.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building custom terminal experiences that respond to user input and update during a task.
Why use it?
It helps when a plain command-line output is not enough for exploring information or controlling a workflow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

generative-ui scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 322 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IMPORTANT: EXECUTION CONTEXT This skill describes what to do — domain patterns and decision-making. It does NOT describe how to call the API.

  1. If you have wsh_* tools (check your toolkit for wsh_send_input, wsh_get_screen, etc.): use them directly. Operation names in this skill generally map to tool names (e.g., "send input" → wsh_send_input). When in doubt, list your available wsh_* tools.
  2. If you do NOT have wsh_* tools: you are in HTTP/curl fallback mode. DO NOT GUESS endpoints or CLI subcommands. Load the full API reference first: search your workspace for skills/core/ and read SKILL.md. It contains every endpoint with working curl examples and a bootstrap sequence.
  3. Quick bootstrap: curl -sf --unix-socket ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:-/tmp}/wsh/default.http.sock http://localhost/health — if that fails: wsh server -L agent-$$ --ephemeral & and retry.

wsh:generative-ui — Building Dynamic Experiences

The terminal isn't just a place to run existing programs. With wsh, you can create interactive experiences on the fly — interfaces that didn't exist before this moment, tailored to this specific task, this specific user, this specific context.

What You Have to Work With

Three layers of capability, from simple to complex:

Layer 1: Overlays and Panels The wsh primitives. Position styled text anywhere on screen, carve out panel regions, capture input. No external programs needed. Good for: annotations, status displays, menus, prompts, simple dashboards.

Layer 2: Composed Experiences Combine overlays + panels + input capture into cohesive interactive applications. A selection menu with a preview panel. A dashboard with live-updating sections. A wizard that walks through multiple steps. Still no external programs — just wsh primitives orchestrated together.

Layer 3: Direct Drawing Use overlays and panels as 2D drawing surfaces. Opaque overlays with explicit dimensions become windows and dialogs. Named spans enable surgical updates to individual elements. Region writes let you place text at specific coordinates within an overlay or panel. Alternate screen mode gives you a clean canvas that vanishes when you're done. This layer turns the wsh primitives into a full rendering engine — no external programs, no generated scripts, just direct control over every cell on screen.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

generative-ui is a skill published in the GitHub repository deepgram/wsh (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed ISC. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 2,797 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
