SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers structure Streamlit apps for better usability by guiding the placement of content in sidebars, columns, containers, and dialogs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sidebar usage to host global filters and navigation; main content stays in the main area.
  • Columns and containers to organize layout with recommended limits (e.g., up to four columns, horizontal containers for groups).
  • Dialogs, tabs, bordered cards, and placeholders to create focused UI interactions and scalable dashboards.
  • Use cases: building dashboards, data-entry apps, or tools requiring clear visual structure and responsive layouts.

Quick Start

Start by creating a Streamlit app and apply a minimal, clean layout: put navigation and filters in st.sidebar, use st.columns for main content, and add a container or tabbed sections for grouped content.
