scaffold-dashboard

scaffold-dashboard is a skill for Claude Code from ahpxex/open-dashboard. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,078 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A clean foundation for a dashboard application, including navigation, forms, tables, charts, sign-in, themes, and data connections. It runs with temporary in-memory data by default and can use Drizzle with Postgres when a database is configured.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the starting point for a back-office app, then add data resources and screens such as tables, forms, charts, or detail views.
Why use it?
It gives a new dashboard a runnable structure before product-specific screens are added. Developers can build and preview the interface without first setting up a database.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

scaffold-dashboard scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (base/drizzle.config.ts, base/scripts/create-resource.ts, base/scripts/seed.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scaffold the dashboard foundation

The whole foundation is bundled at base/ — a clean, runnable app shell with no demo content. Materialize it into a new project, then add screens from the add-component catalogue's shapes (and the add-backend operation skill). You don't read the foundation code — you scaffold it.

Scaffold

bash .claude/skills/scaffold-dashboard/scaffold.sh <target-dir>

Copies base/ → target and runs bun install. Then:

cd <target-dir>
bun run dev          # zero-config: in-memory auth + data, no Postgres/Docker

Open it, click Dev quick login ([email protected] / password) → an empty, branded dashboard.

What you get

TanStack Start + Router + Query + Table; shadcn-on-@base-ui/react primitives; Tailwind v4 theme; the form system (TanStack Form + zod); chart components; the Repository data layer (in-memory by default, Drizzle/Postgres when DATABASE_URL is set); better-auth behind the AuthProvider seam; toast + useConfirm; and the auth-guarded routing shell. Rebrand via src/config/app.ts (or the rebrand skill).

Compose a coherent product (not a demo dump)

You are building a real back-office for a specific domain — not showcasing the catalogue. The fastest way to ship something that reads as a patchwork demo is to copy a pile of gallery shapes into the nav. Don't. Instead:

  • The home is an overview, never the placeholder. Replace src/routes/_app/index.tsx (the "clean shell" welcome) with a real overview via add-chart-page — KPIs + charts derived from your actual resources. Shipping the scaffold welcome as the product home is the #1 tell of a demo.
  • Nav = real product sections only: Overview, your resources, Settings. The scaffold base ships clean (no demo resources, no Skills Gallery) — you add product sections to src/lib/sidebar-items.ts, you don't prune sample ones.
  • Pick the archetype that fits each resource's shape, don't add one of each: flat list → CRUD table (add-backend); rich record → + add-detail-page; an inbox you triage → add-master-detail; a staged pipeline → add-kanban; people/visual items → add-card-list; date-bound items → add-calendar; metrics → add-chart-page.
  • Every nav item gets a distinct, meaningful Phosphor icon — never repeat one icon (e.g. SquaresFourIcon) down the list.
  • Use product language. Labels and page copy name the domain, not the mechanism: "Feed", not "Feed (REST)"; "Manage your invoices", not "Generated resource — customise the schema".
  • Seed believable data — real names, dates, statuses, amounts. Three rows of Alpha/Beta/Gamma read as a demo; a dozen realistic records read as a product.

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.
