At a glance

Use smolagents command-line entry points, browser automation CLI, Gradio UI helpers, and lightweight web-server patterns.

  • Interactive CLI mode

What it does

CLI And UI is an agent skill from VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill. Use smolagents command-line entry points, browser automation CLI, Gradio UI helpers, and lightweight web-server patterns. Use when a task mentions smolagent, webagent, interactive CLI mode, CLI flags, GradioUI, launchgradiodemo, browser agent demos, or serving a smolagents chat UI.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/cli-reference.md`, `references/troubleshooting.md` and `references/ui-workflows.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Browser automation and Model hubs and datasets. It works with Gradio. The repository describes itself as: A Skill Library for Automated Machine Learning. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A task mentions smolagent
  • Interactive CLI mode
  • Launchgradiodemo
  • Browser agent demos

Example prompts

  • “/cli-and-ui”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac3fe1a. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

CLI And UI loads about 859 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 334 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~859
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

CLI And UI

Use this sub-skill when the user wants to run smolagents from a terminal or expose an already-designed agent through a local UI/server.

Route First

  • For agent construction, CodeAgent vs ToolCallingAgent, model objects, managed agents, and tool definitions, route to the sibling agent/model/tool sub-skills.
  • For sandbox executors, remote execution backends, import allow-lists, and security hardening beyond the CLI --imports flag, route to execution-and-safety.
  • For this sub-skill, focus on command syntax, UI wrapping, optional extras, browser/UI dependencies, and troubleshooting terminal or serving failures.

Core Entry Points

  • smolagent is the general CLI for running a CodeAgent or ToolCallingAgent from a prompt or an interactive setup wizard.
  • webagent is a specialized browser-automation CLI that starts a Selenium/Helium Chrome session and runs a vision-capable CodeAgent with screenshot callbacks.
  • GradioUI wraps a MultiStepAgent in a streaming Gradio chat interface with optional multimodal file upload.
  • launch_gradio_demo(tool) launches a Gradio Interface for a single Tool whose inputs and output_type are defined; use GradioUI for full agent chat UIs.
  • Server examples are adaptation patterns: run the blocking agent.run(...) call off the async event loop and disconnect external tool clients during shutdown.

Safe Discovery

Before running model-backed tasks, use safe help checks:

bash
python sub-skills/cli-and-ui/scripts/print_cli_help.py --command smolagent
python sub-skills/cli-and-ui/scripts/print_cli_help.py --command webagent
smolagent --help
webagent --help

If console scripts are unavailable but the package imports, try module-level help:

bash
python -m smolagents.cli --help
python -m smolagents.vision_web_browser --help

Common Workflows

  • Run a direct CLI prompt with smolagent "your task" --model-type InferenceClientModel --model-id Qwen/Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Thinking --tools web_search.
  • Start the guided wizard with bare smolagent; it prompts for action type, tools, model settings, optional API fields, additional imports, and final task.
  • Use --action-type code for a code-writing CodeAgent; use --action-type tool_calling for a ToolCallingAgent.
  • Use webagent "browser task" --model-type LiteLLMModel --model-id gpt-4o only when browser, model, and optional vision dependencies are installed and a Chrome/WebDriver stack is usable.
  • Wrap a configured agent with GradioUI(agent, file_upload_folder="uploads", reset_agent_memory=True).launch(share=False) for a local chat UI.

References

  • See CLI reference for command names, flags, defaults, and behavior.
  • See UI workflows for GradioUI, streaming, file upload, server adaptation, and monitoring notes.
  • See troubleshooting for missing scripts, optional extras, invalid model/tool flags, and browser failures.
