Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.01308 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00654 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00262 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00131 |
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
PathEncmust 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.- 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. versionmust be"v2.4.0"— not"c2.4.0". The exported dashboard JSON uses"v2.4.0".- Virtual data source
_virtualParamsvalues are raw paths (not encoded):"Dataform 1/sym", not"Dataform%201%2Fsym". Datain Basics must be a data binding object ({ "_dashboardsType": "data", "value": "<name>" }), never an empty string if a submit source exists.isDataform: truemust be set in options alongsideversion— omitting it disables form-mode behaviour.- Dropdown
DataSourceMapping.Valueand.Textmust be actual column names from the dropdown data source; leaving them empty renders a blank list. - Number field
Incrementmust be a positive number —0is invalid and disables the spinner. - Never invent unknown
_Typevalues forFieldType. Valid types:"Default","Dropdown","Number","Datepicker","Slider","Password".
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

kx-dataform is a skill published in the GitHub repository KxSystems/kx-skills (16 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 1,308 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
