create-dashboard

create-dashboard is a skill for Claude Code from edwardyen724-g/david-vscode. It costs 112 tokens per session (2,771 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for designing and writing a project dashboard, a page that displays decision-relevant metrics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scanning a project, selecting useful metrics, writing dashboard JSON, creating data-source stubs, and proposing data-population work.
Why use it?
It connects each metric to a widget and creates starter data files so the dashboard can render even before real data is populated.

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

create-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.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

create-dashboard — design and write a project dashboard for this David project

You are running this skill as the David Overseer (or a designated analytics worker). Your goal: produce a valid dashboards/<name>.json in this workspace, stub its data/* sources so it renders immediately (not broken), and either propose a populate-job or hand the data-population to an agent.

How this differs from create-agent / create-job

create-agent and create-job end with an events.jsonl append (create_agent / create_job) that David's plugin acts on. Dashboards have NO plugin event — the F022 dashboardsStore simply reads dashboards/*.json and data/* from the workspace, and the david.dashboards view + webview render them. So in this skill you write the dashboard JSON file directly with the Write tool. That is the intended path, not a fallback.

Hard rules

  1. The dashboard is only useful if its data sources exist. After writing dashboards/<name>.json, you MUST also stub every source file it references with a valid, parseable starter (empty object/array/markdown as appropriate). A widget pointing at a missing file renders as / "(no rows)" — acceptable, but stub them so the first open looks intentional.
  2. Real, measurable metrics only. Never invent a metric the project can't actually produce. If a metric needs data nobody is writing yet, either (a) propose a populate-job/agent that will write it, or (b) drop it. No fabricated or estimated numbers. (See the honesty mandate in the project's long-term memory.)
  3. Do NOT hardcode metric-selection or visual design in this skill. Those plug in from the two design specs (slots below). If a spec isn't present yet, use the documented interim default AND tell the user the dashboard will improve once the spec lands.
  4. Ask before writing. Show the proposed dashboard (Step 4) and get approval before Step 5 writes files. create-agent-style conversational pacing — don't dump everything at once.
  5. Write only inside this workspace under dashboards/ and data/. Don't touch product code or other agents' files.
