description	Publish dynamic web pages for dashboards, trackers, or any data viewable in a browser. Server-side Python runs on every request.

Pages

Drop a .py file in pages/ with a render(request) function and it's live as a web page. Any Python logic — DB queries, API calls, file reads — runs server-side on every request. The server wraps your HTML in a shared dark mode layout with auto-discovered navigation.

Available at http://jeeves:8080 over Tailscale.

Creating Pages

Create, edit, and delete .py files in workspace/skills/pages/pages/. Changes are live on next request — no publish step, no restart.

# pages/status.py
TITLE = "Status"      # display name (default: slug titlecased)
ICON = "📊"           # emoji for nav/home (default: 📄)
PINNED = True         # show in bottom tab bar (default: False)
POSITION = 1          # tab sort order, lower = left (default: 99)

def render(request):
    """Return an HTML string. Can be sync or async."""
    from datetime import datetime
    now = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M")
    return f'<h1 class="text-2xl font-bold">Status</h1><p>Last checked: {now}</p>'

Rules

• render(request) is required — receives a FastAPI Request, returns HTML
• Path(__file__) gives the module's location for relative DB/file paths
• Files starting with _ are skipped (use for shared helpers)
• Errors show a styled traceback page, not a raw 500
• Use request.query_params for URL parameters (e.g. ?date=2026-01-01)

Sub-routes

Use a directory with __init__.py for nested pages:

pages/
├── status.py              # /status
└── items/                 # /items, /items/new, /items/42
    ├── __init__.py        # /items (index) + fallback for /items/{id}
    └── new.py             # /items/new (exact match)

The __init__.py handles the index and any unmatched sub-paths via request.path_params.get("subpath", "").

Server

Page changes are live immediately. Only restart if server.py itself changes:

# Start
nohup uv run workspace/skills/pages/scripts/server.py > /tmp/jeeves-pages.log 2>&1 &

# Restart
pkill -f 'skills/pages/scripts/server.py'; nohup uv run workspace/skills/pages/scripts/server.py > /tmp/jeeves-pages.log 2>&1 &

Styling

Tailwind CSS is available via CDN. Custom theme colours:

bg (#1a1a2e), card (#16213e), border (#2a2a4a), accent (#e94560), muted (#8a8a9a)

Use as Tailwind classes: bg-card, border-border, text-accent, text-muted, etc.
