Panel Apps

A Panel App is a lightweight local application that runs in NextClaw's right side. Dashboards, forms, calculators, data browsers, and temporary workbenches can remain interactive instead of ending as a screenshot or static response.

When to use one

  • A data report needs filters and metric switching.
  • A repeated calculation belongs in a form or calculator.
  • Local files need a small persistent browser.
  • Generated HTML should stay usable beside the task.

Create a Panel App

Describe the purpose, data, and interactions:

Turn the current sales analysis into a local Panel App. Add month and product-line filters, and show revenue, margin, and a trend chart. Read the existing analysis-output data without modifying the source CSV files.

The agent can create a .panel.html file or a manifest-backed app and open it for review. Verify the real data, interactions, and narrow-screen layout before keeping it.

App list and references

Manage existing Panel Apps from the app list and reference one from the session composer when asking for changes.

Service Apps

When a Panel App needs a local runtime or controlled action, pair it with a Service App. Review every exposed action and permission, and grant only what the app needs.
