fast-dash

fast-dash is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dkedar7/fast_dash. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,613 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning one Python function into an interactive Plotly Dash web app using its type hints. The hints determine the input controls and output display, so little interface code is needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for prototypes, data or machine-learning tools, API utilities, cascading inputs, multi-step workflows, and apps containing several Python functions.
Why use it?
It removes the need to build frontend components and callback wiring for small Python tools. This makes it quicker to expose a function as a form, dashboard, or wizard.

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

fast-dash scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 5d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Fast Dash

Fast Dash turns a Python function into a Plotly Dash web app. The @fastdash decorator reads the function's signature, maps each parameter's type hint to a UI component, maps the return type to an output component, and serves the result. No frontend, no callbacks, no boilerplate.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user:

  • has a Python function and wants a UI for it ("make this a web app", "add a form", "dashboard around this")
  • is prototyping an ML / data / API tool and wants shareable interactivity
  • needs cascading inputs, a multi-step wizard, or multiple tools in one app

Do not use this for: production apps with complex routing, custom auth, or non-Python frontends — Fast Dash is opinionated for the single-file-Python-function use case.

Install

pip install fast-dash

The core pattern

from fast_dash import fastdash

@fastdash
def greet(name: str = "world") -> str:
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

# Serving on http://127.0.0.1:8080

That is the whole app. Open the URL, type a name, click Run.

How to approach a Fast Dash task

  1. Start from the user's function. If they don't have one, write the smallest function that captures their intent.
  2. Add type hints and defaults. This is where the UI comes from — int → number input, bool → checkbox, str with a list default → dropdown, etc. See references/components.md for the full table.
  3. Decorate with @fastdash. For more control (tabbed multi-function apps, multi-step pipelines), use the FastDash(...) class directly.
  4. Run and verify. The decorator starts a server immediately on import. For notebooks, pass mode="inline".

Common patterns

Pattern Syntax When
Single function @fastdash One tool, one form
Multiple outputs -> (Graph, Graph) + mosaic="AB" Dashboard with several plots
Cascading inputs state=depends_on("country", resolver) Dependent dropdowns
Multiple tools, one app FastDash([fn_a, fn_b], tab_titles=[...]) Tabbed "apps" under one URL
Multi-step wizard FastDash(steps=[fn_a, fn_b, fn_c]) + from_step(prev_fn) Pipeline UX, one panel at a time
Streaming outputs update("output_x", chunk) inside the fn + stream=True LLM / token-by-token / progress
Notebook rendering @fastdash(mode="inline") Jupyter
Wrap a custom component Fastify(dcc.Slider(...), "value") Any Dash component

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.

fast-dash is a skill published in the GitHub repository dkedar7/fast_dash (129 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 1,613 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
