What it does

Using Streamlit CLI is an agent skill from iusztinpaul/designing-real-world-ai-agents-workshop. Documents Streamlit CLI commands for running apps, managing configuration, and diagnostics. Use when starting Streamlit apps, configuring runtime options, or troubleshooting CLI issues.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Streamlit. The repository describes itself as: Hands-on workshop: Build a multi-agent AI system from scratch — Deep Research Agent + Writing Workflow served as MCP servers. Includes code, slides, and video. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Starting Streamlit apps
  • Configuring runtime options
  • Troubleshooting CLI issues

Example prompts

  • “Use the using-streamlit-cli skill to document Streamlit CLI commands for running apps, managing configuration, and diagnostics”
  • “/using-streamlit-cli”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Command-line flags (--server.port=8080)
  2. Environment variables (STREAMLIT_SERVER_PORT=8080)
  3. Local config (.streamlit/config.toml in project directory)
  4. Global config (~/.streamlit/config.toml)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ea4f6e9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • streamlit
    • uv
    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • raw.githubusercontent.com

    Also links to:

    • docs.streamlit.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Using Streamlit CLI loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Using the Streamlit CLI

The Streamlit CLI is the primary tool for running Streamlit applications and managing configuration. This skill covers all essential commands and configuration options.

Running Streamlit apps

Basic syntax
bash
streamlit run [<entrypoint>] [-- config options] [script args]
Entrypoint options
ArgumentBehavior
(none)Looks for streamlit_app.py in current directory
Directory pathRuns streamlit_app.py within that directory
File pathRuns the specified file directly
URLRuns a remote script (e.g., from GitHub)
Examples
bash
# Run default app in current directory
streamlit run

# Run a specific file
streamlit run app.py

# Run from a URL
streamlit run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/streamlit/demo-uber-nyc-pickups/master/streamlit_app.py

# Alternative: run as Python module (useful for IDE configuration)
python -m streamlit run app.py

Use uv run to run Streamlit in a virtual environment with automatic dependency management:

bash
# Run with uv (automatically uses/creates virtual environment)
uv run streamlit run app.py

# With configuration options
uv run streamlit run app.py --server.headless=true

# With script arguments
uv run streamlit run app.py -- arg1 arg2

Using uv run is the recommended approach because it:

  • Automatically manages virtual environments
  • Resolves and installs dependencies from pyproject.toml
  • Ensures reproducible environments across machines
  • Avoids manual activation/deactivation of virtual environments

Setting configuration with streamlit run

Configuration options follow the pattern --<section>.<option>=<value> and must come after the script name.

Recommendation: For persistent configuration, use .streamlit/config.toml in your project directory instead of command-line flags. This keeps your run command simple and makes configuration easier to manage and share with your team.

Examples
bash
streamlit run app.py --server.port=8080
streamlit run app.py --server.headless=true
streamlit run app.py --server.runOnSave=true
streamlit run app.py --server.address=0.0.0.0
streamlit run app.py --client.showErrorDetails=false
streamlit run app.py --theme.primaryColor=blue
Combining multiple options
bash
streamlit run app.py \
    --server.port=8080 \
    --server.headless=true \
    --theme.primaryColor=blue \
    --client.showErrorDetails=false

Passing arguments to your script

Script arguments come after configuration options. Use sys.argv to access them:

bash
streamlit run app.py -- arg1 arg2 "arg with spaces"

In your script:

python
import sys

# sys.argv[0] = script path
# sys.argv[1:] = your arguments
args = sys.argv[1:]

Other CLI commands

View configuration
bash
# Show all current configuration settings
streamlit config show
Cache management
bash
# Clear all cached data from disk
streamlit cache clear
Diagnostics and help
bash
# Show installed version
streamlit version

# List all available commands
streamlit help

# Open documentation in browser
streamlit docs
Project scaffolding
bash
# Create starter files for a new project
streamlit init
Demo app
bash
# Launch the Streamlit demo application
streamlit hello

Configuration precedence

Configuration can be set in multiple places. Order of precedence (highest to lowest):

  1. Command-line flags (--server.port=8080)
  2. Environment variables (STREAMLIT_SERVER_PORT=8080)
  3. Local config (.streamlit/config.toml in project directory)
  4. Global config (~/.streamlit/config.toml)
