What is create-dashboard?

A generator for an agent-specific dashboard update skill for Trinity, a platform for running and coordinating agents. It examines the agent and its data sources, proposes metrics, and creates a schedulable skill after approval.

Use it to create a skill that gathers current data and writes dashboard.yaml for scheduled dashboard updates.

It avoids designing and scaffolding a dashboard updater from scratch while keeping the metric choices under your control.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00049	$0.03785
Opus 5.5	$0.00020	$0.01514
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00757
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00379

Security

Grade B, and why

create-dashboard scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 406 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/trinity:create-dashboard

ℹ️ First, set expectations: before anything else, print one short line with this skill's version and its most recent change — the top entry of metadata.changelog above — e.g. create-dashboard vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.

Generate an agent-specific /update-dashboard skill that keeps dashboard.yaml current for Trinity. Analyzes the agent's purpose and data sources, proposes metrics, gets user approval, then creates a schedulable skill.

Trigger

User wants to:

Add a dashboard to an existing agent
Create or regenerate dashboard metrics
"create dashboard", "add dashboard", "setup dashboard"

What This Creates

A new skill at .claude/skills/update-dashboard/SKILL.md that:

Gathers current metrics from agent data sources
Writes dashboard.yaml to /home/developer/dashboard.yaml
Is designed to run on a schedule (e.g., hourly via Trinity cron)
Uses widget types appropriate for the agent's purpose

PHASE 1: Gather Context

1.1 Read Agent Identity

Read CLAUDE.md (or README.md if no CLAUDE.md exists).

Extract:

Agent name and purpose
Primary responsibilities
Key workflows and capabilities

1.2 Discover Data Sources

Glob for potential data files:

*.json, *.yaml, *.yml in workspace root
memory/, data/, logs/, state/ directories
Any *_log.md, *_state.*, *_history.* files

1.3 Inventory Existing Skills

ls -la .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null

Note skill names - they indicate what the agent does.

1.4 Check for Existing Dashboard

Read dashboard.yaml if it exists - use current structure as baseline.

PHASE 2: Propose Dashboard Metrics

Based on analysis, propose a dashboard structure. Consider these categories:

Status Metrics (always include)

Agent Status: Running/Idle/Error state
Last Activity: When agent last performed work
Health Check: Any error counts or issues

Activity Metrics (based on agent purpose)

Task Counts: Items processed, completed, pending
Progress: Completion percentage for ongoing work
Throughput: Rate of work (items/hour, etc.)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

create-dashboard is a skill published in the GitHub repository Abilityai/abilities (12 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 3,785 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (enumerates other installed skills). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-07.
