kx-dataform

kx-dataform is a skill for Claude Code from KxSystems/kx-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,308 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A KX Dashboards form for entering parameters and writing them into ViewState values, which are named pieces of dashboard state. Submitting the form can run a data source again with the new values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for forms with text or password fields, dropdowns, date pickers, sliders, and other inputs that filter or rerun dashboard data on submit.
Why use it?
It avoids building separate input and refresh wiring for common parameter-driven dashboards. It supports several input types in one panel.

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

kx-dataform 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 9d 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 Dataform Component

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

This skill uses progressive disclosure: the workflow, hazards, and output rules are here; the bulky JSON schema, config tables, and examples 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: "dataform" config keys — formFields, basics, style tables.
reference/component-schema.md The raw component JSON — full options envelope, Basics, form-field (ViewStates) entry + PathEnc rule, the six field types, Style, grouped-ViewState setup.
reference/data-source-patterns.md Wiring the submit data source — kdb+ query (Pattern A) vs virtual (Pattern B), inline param syntax, kdb+ type codes.
reference/examples.md A full worked example plus 8 few-shot NLQ → JSON examples.
reference/nlq-tests.md Maintainer NLQ regression queries to retest on every MR that changes this skill.

When to Use This Skill

  • User asks to create a parameter form or submit form for a KX Dashboard
  • User wants to let dashboard users set kdb+ query parameters interactively (sym, date range, threshold, etc.)
  • User wants form fields to publish values into grouped ViewStates (e.g. "Form 1/sym") and re-execute a data source on submit
  • User wants to combine a Dataform with a Datagrid to show the result of the submitted parameters

⚠️ Dataform-Specific Hazards

  1. PathEnc must be URL-encoded. The ViewState path "Dataform 1/sym" becomes "Dataform%201%2Fsym". Always URL-encode: space → %20, slash → %2F. Never use the raw path.
  2. ViewStates must be grouped under the form name. Use "FormName/fieldName" paths (e.g. "Dataform 1/sym"). Flat ViewState names (e.g. just "sym") will NOT bind to form fields correctly.
  3. version must be "v2.4.0" — not "c2.4.0". The exported dashboard JSON uses "v2.4.0".
  4. Virtual data source _virtualParams values are raw paths (not encoded): "Dataform 1/sym", not "Dataform%201%2Fsym".
  5. Data in Basics must be a data binding object ({ "_dashboardsType": "data", "value": "<name>" }), never an empty string if a submit source exists.
  6. isDataform: true must be set in options alongside version — omitting it disables form-mode behaviour.
  7. Dropdown DataSourceMapping.Value and .Text must be actual column names from the dropdown data source; leaving them empty renders a blank list.
  8. Number field Increment must be a positive number — 0 is invalid and disables the spinner.
  9. Never invent unknown _Type values for FieldType. Valid types: "Default", "Dropdown", "Number", "Datepicker", "Slider", "Password".

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.
