textual

textual is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinsonconsulting/califa-cards. It costs 88 tokens per session (597 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development guide for building terminal user interfaces in Python with Textual. A terminal user interface is an interactive application that runs inside a command-line window instead of a web browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working with Textual apps, screens, widgets, reactive values, Textual CSS, or the compose method.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents guidance for the Textual-specific structure and styling needed to build or debug these applications.

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

textual 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 8d 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.

examples/textual/SKILL.md · 48 lines

What it actually says

textual

Reference skill bundle used as the Califa Cards generator fixture. The skillcard build examples/textual/ regression test regenerates card.json and skill-card.md from this SKILL.md, the authored sidecar, the repo config, the committed scan report, and the evals results — and must reproduce the committed pair byte for byte (the deterministic acceptance proof in SPEC.md section C).

Everything the generator needs lives in this directory:

  • SKILL.md — the skill's identity (name, version, summary, description, triggers, output, dependencies, and the hashed security surface: external_endpoints, permissions).
  • card.authored.yaml — the authored governance overlay (status, accepted findings, optional provenance pins); excluded from content_hash.
  • .skillcard.toml — repo config (owner, repo tier/url, license, scanner pin).
  • scan.json — the SkillSpector --format json report.
  • evals/evals.json — eval definitions plus the aggregate results block.
Files

What ships with it

7 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.

Changes

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.
