rpa-run-tab
A Claude skill that adds a Tebra-style Run tab to any desktop RPA bot (PyQt6) in about 5 minutes.
What you get
- Trigger button with three states: Upload a file / Trigger automation / Running...
- Excel input card: drop zone, sheet tabs, a 200-row preview with passwords masked, and a Sample input download
- Progress bar with an elapsed timer, a step list and a friendly live log
- Checkpoint boxes with time limits. A stuck checkpoint is killed and shown in red.
- Endings: green Completed, amber "N of M failed", red Failed or Stuck
- Dark mode and a close-while-running guard. The bot runs in its own process.
Install
Copy this folder to ~/.claude/skills/rpa-run-tab/.
Use
In your bot project, ask Claude: "add the run tab". The skill:
- Scans your bot. It never runs it.
- Asks three things: colour (Tebra Sky, TVL Teal, or your hex), checkpoints (names and time limits), and Excel input or none.
- Builds
run_tab/and adds a fewrt.checkpoint()/rt.ui()lines to your bot. - Checks the result with a fake bot (
python run_tab/run_tab.py --selfcheck).
Start it with python run_tab/run_tab.py.
