foxglove

foxglove is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nebius/nebius-physical-ai. It costs 58 tokens per session (3,834 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for embedding and debugging the Foxglove viewer, a web interface for inspecting robotics recordings, inside the NPA agent. It covers the TypeScript embed SDK, MCAP recording files, containers, and API endpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect a Foxglove deployment, choose layouts, seek through MCAP recordings, handle viewer readiness or errors, and operate the embedded viewer.
Why use it?
It clarifies which parts NPA provides and which viewer application Foxglove hosts. It also prevents a missing configuration from appearing as an empty viewer.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is docker exec <container> sh /usr/local/bin/npa-foxglove-smoke.sh # golden eval.

Good fit Use it to connect a Foxglove deployment, choose layouts, seek through MCAP recordings, handle viewer readiness or errors, and operate the embedded viewer.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

foxglove 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 11d 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.

Foxglove Embedded Viewer

NPA embeds Foxglove with the official @foxglove/embed TypeScript SDK: the SDK creates an iframe pointing at a Foxglove deployment and drives it over postMessage (setDataSource, selectLayout, seekPlayback, ready/error).

What NPA ships vs what Foxglove hosts — NPA serves the MIT-licensed SDK (fetched unmodified from npm, sha512-verified) plus your recordings. The viewer application is Foxglove's: either https://embed.foxglove.dev/ (users sign in to a Foxglove organization on a plan that allows embedding) or your self-hosted deployment. Without a configured embed source the viewer pane says so — it never renders an empty frame and calls it a viewer.

Which viewer when

NPA ships two MCAP viewers; they are complements, not alternatives:

skills/tools/lichtblick/SKILL.md (OSS) this skill (official Foxglove)
What runs Lichtblick web build (MPL-2.0) served by the agent, in-page Foxglove's own app in a cross-origin iframe, driven by @foxglove/embed
Account none a Foxglove org on a plan that allows embedding
Renders MCAP yes, out of the box yes, after sign-in
Recording path same-origin /lichtblick/recordings/ (no CORS) /foxglove/data/ (CORS + byte ranges)
Use it for default operator playback, CI, air-gapped customers standardized on Foxglove (layouts, extensions, org sharing)

The agent's Foxglove pane picks between them at runtime (/api/foxglove/configviewer_backend): the official app when NPA_FOXGLOVE_EMBED_SRC is configured and the SDK assets are installed, otherwise the self-hosted OSS viewer, otherwise an explained unavailable state. NPA_FOXGLOVE_VIEWER_BACKEND=foxglove-sdk|self-hosted forces one.

When To Use

  • Adding/changing the agent's Foxglove viewer pane or /api/foxglove/* endpoints
  • Publishing .mcap / .bag recordings for playback in the agent
  • Building/running the npa-foxglove-embed container
  • Converting run artifacts to MCAP (npa workbench foxglove convert-run)
  • Debugging "viewer unavailable", CORS, or byte-range playback problems

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.
