building-data-apps

building-data-apps is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gemini-cli-extensions/data-agent-kit-starter-pack. It costs 218 tokens per session (1,347 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for building data apps such as dashboards and interactive reports with React and Vite or Streamlit. React and Vite are tools for web interfaces; Streamlit is a Python-based way to make data apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and build dashboards, reports, interactive interfaces, and optional chat experiences for exploring data.
Why use it?
It helps choose a suitable app framework based on the project, team, data processing needs, and interface complexity.

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

building-data-apps 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (examples/express_chat.ts, examples/fastapi_chat.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Building Data Applications

Architect high-quality data dashboards and interactive reports. You MUST select the appropriate framework before implementation.

Step 0: Framework Selection

You MUST select the framework based on the user's maintenance requirements and data ecosystem.

Choice: Streamlit

  • User Profile: Data Scientists / Python users.
  • Logic Complexity: High Python dependency (Pandas, NumPy, local data processing).
  • Deployment: Single-file Python script.
  • Customization: Standard layout (fast boilerplate).

Choice: React + Vite

  • User Profile: Web Developers / Full-stack teams.
  • Logic Complexity: High UI and Interactivity requirements (e.g., drag-and-drop, interactive maps).
  • Deployment: Standalone Frontend + Backend API.
  • Customization: Infinite (Custom CSS, specialized JS libraries).

Guidance:

  • Check for existing stack first: ALWAYS prefer the framework the user is already using in their project (e.g., if you see a package.json with React dependencies, use React; if you see existing Streamlit files, use Streamlit).
  • Default to React + Vite for production-grade applications that require complex client-side state, custom branding, or integration into a larger web ecosystem.
  • Default to Streamlit if the user specifically mentions "Python dashboard", needs to iterate on complex local Python data processing, or requires a single-script deployment.

Step 1: Implementation Plan

You MUST propose a plan to the user that specifies the chosen framework and justifies the choice based on the criteria above.


Shared Design Standards

Regardless of framework, you MUST follow the principles in references/shared_design_system.md.

  • Visual Style: Minimal chrome, zinc color palette, and card-based layouts.
  • Typography: DM Sans for content, JetBrains Mono for data.

Changes

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.
