A configuration guide for KX Dashboards buttons and clickable action triggers. It covers labels, icons, tooltips, sizing, alignment, disabled states, colours, and click actions.

Use it to create dashboard buttons such as navigation controls, query triggers, or other actions, including fixed-width and disabled buttons.

It removes the need to work out the button's JSON settings and action wiring from scratch. It also helps distinguish buttons from text inputs, dropdowns, and selection controls.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00077	$0.01262
Opus 5.5	$0.00031	$0.00505
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00252
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00126

Security

Grade A, and why

kx-button 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

KX Button

Also read kx-dashboard-core for: envelope, screen/widget wrapper, data sources, ViewState, binding patterns, actions, notifications, deployment, and the pre-flight checklist.

key: "BasicComponents" · definitionId: "25" · version: "v2.9.0"

This skill uses progressive disclosure: the workflow, hazards, and output rules are here; the bulky JSON schema, config tables, worked examples, and test queries live in reference/. Read only the reference file relevant to your current step.

Reference Files

File	Read it when you need…
reference/generate-config.md	`generate.js` `componentType: "button"` config — Quick Start, minimal config, and the `makeButtonWidget` config-key table.
reference/component-schema.md	The raw component JSON — full options envelope (`Basics`, `Style`, `Actions`, `Alignment`, `format`) plus the per-property Config Keys table.
reference/mapping.md	Turning a natural-language request into properties — NL→JSON rules, named-colour hexes, and the icon-prefix rules.
reference/examples.md	Six worked NLQ → JSON examples (minimal, styled, query, nav, fixed-width disabled, multi-action).
reference/nlq-tests.md	Maintainer NLQ regression queries to retest on every MR that changes this skill.

⚠️ Button Hazards

key is always "BasicComponents", not "Button". definitionId: "25" differentiates it from Dropdown (16), DatePicker (15), TextInput (33), and SelectionControls (34).
Style.background triggers a 3-stop gradient — passing "#0061FF" causes the component to auto-compute darker gradient shades. Omit it ("") to use the default theme button appearance.
Basics.Icon requires the full class prefix. FontAwesome: "fa fa-play". Material: "mi mi-refresh". Passing just "fa-play" or "refresh" silently drops the icon — no error is shown.
Basics.fixedWidth: true requires a numeric Basics.width. Without width, the button falls back to 100% of its container. width is in pixels.
Basics.isEnabled: false disables the button visually and functionally. Map this to a ViewState binding if you need runtime toggle.
Actions fires on button click and must be a top-level array inside options, not inside Basics.
Navigation actions always fire last regardless of their position in the Actions list (see kx-dashboard-core).

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.
