What it does

Htmx Auto Refresh Preservation is an agent skill from sandgardenhq/sgai. Use when building any HTMX interface with polling, SSE, or auto-refresh - prevents state loss (form inputs, scroll positions, details/accordion state) during automatic DOM updates by enforcing Idiomorph morph swaps with correct configuration. When building HTMX pages that auto-refresh via polling (hx-trigger="every Ns") or SSE. When select boxes close on refresh. When form inputs lose focus or reset. When details/accordion elements collapse. When scroll positions jump to top. When you see innerHTML swap on…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Sandgarden AI Software Factory.

When your agent uses it

  • Building any HTMX interface with polling
  • Auto-refresh - prevents state loss (form inputs
  • Scroll positions
  • Details/accordion state) during automatic DOM updates by enforcing Idiomorph morph swaps with correct configuration

Example prompts

  • “every Ns”
  • “/htmx-auto-refresh-preservation”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9efbb7b. 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 (its code samples are html and javascript).

    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:

    • cdn.jsdelivr.net
    • unpkg.com

    Also links to:

    • htmx.org
    • github.com

    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

Htmx Auto Refresh Preservation loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 142 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,284 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~142
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k

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 1,284 words (~3,638 tokens).

“Auto-refreshing HTMX interfaces (polling, SSE) destroy user state on every update cycle unless Idiomorph morph swaps are used with correct configuration. This skill captures the mandatory setup and patterns to prevent state loss.”
