Builds disposable localhost workbenches — Bun.serve + bun:sqlite + React 19 + Astryx apps, zero build config, no deploy — giving an agentic coding/eval/PR/data session a live UI. The signature move is a two-way human↔agent loop over one SQLite file: the human acts in the browser, the agent acts from the terminal (bun run scripts), both seeing the same state update live via SSE with no reload. Ships recipes for eval viewers, PR review rooms, document redline surfaces, spreadsheet/grid editors, multi-surface triage queues, trace replays, and more. Use when the user wants a quick local UI for a coding/eval/PR/data task, OR mentions localhost workbench, eval viewer, PR review room, review/redline a document, select text and comment, a spreadsheet or editable grid, triage my inbox, live invalidation, two-way agent loop, or "build me a little UI for this." Do NOT use for production apps or deployed SPAs (use frontend-design), or for static data pages / HTML reports where a self-contained file is the right tool.
Workbench Builder includes explicit scope boundaries (an explicit 'when not to use' or 'out of scope' section); at least one code block. At roughly 1,674 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.
