genui SKILL.md skillA
genui from open-octo/octo-agent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/genui@git:20260923.e099c80Pins git:20260923.e099c80 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Render structured, glanceable, interactive UI in the chat instead of plain text — dashboards, stat cards, filterable tables, charts, choice panels, forms, quizzes. Panels can carry an id so later turns update them in place, and most interaction resolves in the browser with no round-trip. Read this before calling render_ui or emitting a ```octo-ui fence, so the spec you produce matches the node whitelist and caps the renderer actually enforces.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# GenUI
GenUI lets you describe a small UI tree as JSON — cards, stats, tables, lists,
badges, progress bars, callouts, charts, code blocks, and form
controls — and have it render as real components in the chat instead of you
writing the same information out as prose or a markdown table. There are two ways to emit a spec; which one to use depends
on what you're building and where the reply is going. Read "The two output
surfaces" before picking.
## The two output surfaces
**1. The `render_ui` tool.** Call it with `{"spec": {"title"?: string, "items": GenuiNode[]}}`.
Read-only components only — no buttons, no inputs. The tool validates and
clamps your spec server-side and returns it on the same channel other
tools use for rich result cards, so it renders as a tool-result card in the
Web UI. This is the only surface available in **every** transport, but "every
transport" doesn't mean "the card is visible everywhere": IM and the TUI
never show tool-result cards at all — they show only your plain-text reply
for that turn. If you call `render_ui` in an IM or TUI conversation, follow
it with a plain-text reply that stands on its own; don't assume the user saw
the card.

How to install
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/genui@sha256:8e34f4018205f337The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.e099c80, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
