kx-formbuilder

kx-formbuilder is a skill for Claude Code from KxSystems/kx-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,389 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating KX Dashboards forms that collect information from users, such as trade details or other records. KX Dashboards is a platform for building data dashboards, and ViewStates are named values that connect widgets and queries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build forms with fields, validators, dynamic layouts, and actions that publish entered values or re-run dashboard queries. It is meant for data entry, not forms used only to set query parameters.
Why use it?
It helps turn a request for a data-entry form into the dashboard configuration the platform expects, including validation and submitting field values.

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-formbuilder 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

KX FormBuilder 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, field/validator/style 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/component-schema.md The raw component JSON — full options envelope, Basics, Elements field object, all kdb Field Types (incl. list dropdown and group), Validators, Style, Actions, and StateOutput.
reference/examples.md A full worked Trade Entry Form plus 5 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 wants a form widget that collects values from dashboard users
  • User wants to bind form field values to ViewStates and re-execute queries on submit
  • User wants a dynamic form whose schema is driven by a live kdb+ query (FormDefinition)
  • User wants to trigger actions (map, navigate, re-execute query) on Submit, Cancel, or Change events
  • User wants to write form values back to a ViewState via StateOutput

⚠️ FormBuilder-Specific Hazards

  1. Element id must be unique across all Elements including nested groups. Duplicate ids silently overwrite each other in the output values object.
  2. type._Type is the kdb type stringsymbol, int, float, date, list, group, etc. Never set type to a plain string; it must always be an object with _Type.
  3. list is the dropdown type, not a kdb list. To present a dropdown to the user, set type._Type to "list". The output value type is recorded as "symbol".
  4. password only applies to symbol fields. Setting password: true on any other type has no effect.
  5. group fields carry their child fields in a nested Elements array, not under type. The group's own type._Type is "group" with an optional layout sub-property.
  6. Actions Trigger values are "Submit", "Cancel", "Change" — not "Click". Using "Click" will silently do nothing.
  7. StateOutput Trigger fires a map action that writes the entire form's current values to the target ViewState. Current is auto-populated; only set Target.
  8. FormDefinition binding overrides Elements. When Basics.FormDefinition is bound to a ViewState, the properties panel hides the Elements editor and the form schema comes entirely from kdb.
  9. FormValues is a two-way binding. It can pre-populate fields on load (if the ViewState has values) and receives the latest form values after every change.
  10. ignoreOnChange excludes a field from the Change trigger output but not from Submit or Cancel. Use it for UI-only controls that shouldn't re-trigger queries on every keystroke.

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.
