What it does

Managing Streamlit Apps is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Create, deploy, and operate Streamlit apps in PostHog via the streamlit-apps MCP tools — create an app, set its source, read and patch its code, start and stop its sandbox, poll status, list versions, delete, and share the app with humans via its PostHog URL. Use when asked to "create a streamlit app", "deploy a data app", "ship a dashboard app", "restart/stop my app", "why is my app not running", or "give me a link to the app".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Streamlit and PostHog. The repository describes itself as: :hedgehog: PostHog is the leading platform for building self-driving products. Our developer tools – AI observability, analytics, session replay, flags, experiments, error…

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to create a streamlit app
  • Deploy a data app
  • Ship a dashboard app
  • Restart/stop my app

Example prompts

  • “create a streamlit app”
  • “deploy a data app”
  • “ship a dashboard app”
  • “/managing-streamlit-apps”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. streamlit-apps-create with a name (optionally description, cpu_cores 0.25–8, memory_gb 0.5–16, defaults 0.5 / 1).
  2. streamlit-apps-set-source with the complete app.py source as one string.
  3. streamlit-apps-start.
  4. Poll streamlit-apps-status until status is running (typically well under a minute).
  5. Share the app: the _posthogUrl returned by create/get/start (/streamlit-apps/{short_id}) is the app's page in PostHog.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10f9ad7. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Managing Streamlit Apps loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 835 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 835 words (~1,506 tokens).

“A Streamlit app is a Python data app running in an isolated sandbox inside PostHog. Each app has immutable versions of its code; one version is active; a sandbox process serves the active version. The full lifecycle is driven with…”
