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:

1. Scans your bot. It never runs it.
2. Asks three things: colour (Tebra Sky, TVL Teal, or your hex), checkpoints (names and time limits), and Excel input or none.
3. Builds run_tab/ and adds a few rt.checkpoint() / rt.ui() lines to your bot.
4. Checks the result with a fake bot (python run_tab/run_tab.py --selfcheck).

Start it with python run_tab/run_tab.py.
