LiveView Skills Index
Skills for opening and driving agent-controllable visualization components in the Pantheon UI sidebar — interactive viewers the agent can open, control, and read back. Viewers: Vitessce (spatial / single- cell omics), Viv (bioimage / microscopy), plus agent-generated apps.
npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill live_view --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# LiveView — Agent-Controllable UI Components A **LiveView** is an interactive component the agent opens in the Pantheon UI's right sidebar, then drives and observes through the `live_view` tools. Unlike a static plot image, a LiveView is live: the agent changes its state and the user sees it update; the user interacts with it and the agent reads the result back. Load the relevant skill file before building a visualization. **Architecture** — only the LiveView SDK runtime is built in. Every viewer is a **plugin**: a folder `skills/live_view/<name>/` holding `<name>.md` (this guide), `adapter.js` (a `setup(lv, root)` module), and an optional `demo.json`. `open_live_view` either resolves a named viewer plugin (`view_type="vitessce"`) or loads an agent-generated component (`view_type="custom"` + `module_url`). Adding a viewer = dropping a new `<name>/` folder here; no app code changes. ## Available skills ### Vitessce — spatial / single-cell / imaging data Open a Vitessce browser to explore spatial transcriptomics, single-cell, and microscopy-imaging datasets: spatial scatterplots, gene-expression coloring, heatmaps, cell-set selection, image layers. **Skill file**: [vitessce/vitessce

What does the LiveView Skills Index skill do?
Skills for opening and driving agent-controllable visualization components in the Pantheon UI sidebar — interactive viewers the agent can open, control, and read back. Viewers: Vitessce (spatial / single- cell omics), Viv (bioimage / microscopy), plus agent-generated apps.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill live_view --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
