shidashi 0.1.7 & 0.1.8

New Features

  • Added built-in AI chat-bot panel powered by ellmer and shinychat; supports multiple providers, in-memory conversation history, mode-based tool permissions, token/cost display, and early-stop controls
  • Added init_chat() to create an ellmer Chat object from R options (shidashi.chat_provider, shidashi.chat_model, shidashi.chat_system_prompt, shidashi.chat_base_url)
  • Added MCP (Model Context Protocol) proxy server (inst/mcp-proxy/) so external LLM clients can interact with a running Shiny application via MCP
  • Added mcp_wrapper() to register an MCP endpoint for a Shiny module
  • Added register_input() / register_output() helpers to expose Shiny inputs and outputs as MCP tool parameters with descriptions
  • Added skills system: skill_wrapper() parses and runs reusable agent skill scripts; skill working directory is resolved relative to the skill folder
  • Tools and skills are now category- and permission-aware; module IDs are excluded from tool names for consistency
  • Added module_drawer(), drawer_open(), drawer_close(), and drawer_toggle() for controlling a slide-in drawer panel
  • module_info() now returns richer per-module metadata; added current_module() and active_module() helpers for querying the active Shiny module
  • Modules support an optional agents.yaml for declaring agent configurations (tools, skills, auto-approve rules)
  • MCP host can be a remote server; fuzzy module reference is supported when resolving module IDs
  • Added demo template modules: aiagent, filestructure, and mcpsetup
  • Added ellmer content helpers: S7 generic ellmer_as_json() for ContentText, ContentImageInline, ContentImageRemote, and ContentToolResult; and content_to_mcp() for converting chat content to MCP responses
  • Chat-bot UI displays token usage and API cost next to each turn
