What is light-dashboard-custom?

Development guidance for the custom version of Light Dashboard, a small web interface for real-time device controls. It covers its built-in content system, page layout, menus, navigation, and styling.

Use it when adding or removing pages, changing layouts or colours, editing menus, or working on HTMX navigation and device-interface pages.

It helps developers change the correct dashboard variant without confusing it with other versions or introducing unsupported features.

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.

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	$0.00046	$0.04699
Opus 5.5	$0.00018	$0.01880
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00940
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00470

Security

Grade A, and why

light-dashboard-custom 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 1mo 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.

Light Dashboard Custom Variant Skill

Use this skill when developing the custom/ dashboard variant in this repo. The custom/ variant is the primary target for new work. It uses:

a small database-free CMS in custom/.lua/cms.lua;
a shared shell in custom/.lua/www/template.lsp;
HTMX fragment navigation;
custom CSS in custom/static/styles.css;
a two-level menu from custom/.lua/menu.json;
CMS-level SMQ support from custom/static/cms-smq.js;
native JavaScript only for custom application code.

Light Dashboard is appropriate for real-time device interfaces on platforms ranging from RTOS targets to Embedded Linux. When a project instead requires SQLite-backed content, browser-based administration, themes, or plugins, consider FuguHub as the more advanced Mako Server CMS alternative.

Do not use this skill for the www/ or htmx/ variants unless the user explicitly asks for parity across variants.

First Files to Read

Before making changes, inspect the relevant files:

custom/.lua/cms.lua for routing, full-page vs HTMX response behavior, and security headers.
custom/.lua/www/template.lsp for the shell, menu rendering, global assets, and #main.
custom/.lua/menu.json for navigation and routing.
custom/static/styles.css for layout, colors, typography, forms, and navigation styles.
custom/static/ui.js for menu toggling and active navigation state.
custom/static/cms-smq.js when adding or modifying SMQ behavior.
custom/.preload and custom/SMQ/index.lsp for server-side SMQ broker behavior.
doc/custom-design.md for detailed architecture notes.

Core Architecture

The CMS is designed to behave like a normal server-rendered site on direct page loads and like a lightweight SPA when HTMX is available.

Request flow:

Static files are served first by the resource reader.
Unmatched requests fall through to cmsfunc(...) in custom/.lua/cms.lua.
Directory requests are normalized to index.html.
HTML pages must be registered in custom/.lua/menu.json.
Normal requests return the full template.lsp shell.
HTMX requests return only the page fragment.
HTMX history-restore requests return the full shell.

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.
