dashboards-to-decisions

dashboards-to-decisions is a skill for Claude Code from hollandkevint/data-product-operator. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,066 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for turning a request for an analytics dashboard—a screen of charts and metrics—into a clear decision specification. It identifies what decision the dashboard should support before defining its contents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify the decision, decision-maker, deadline, required metrics, and actions for a dashboard request. It also helps review analytics backlogs and prioritize data-team work.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from building dashboards that display information but do not help anyone decide or act.

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

dashboards-to-decisions 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The Reframe

When someone asks "I need a dashboard," the first question is: "What decision will this inform?"

If they can't answer, the dashboard shouldn't exist yet. Not "never build it." Just "not yet." Get the decision clear first.

The Process

Step 1: Surface the Decision

Ask: "What decision will this dashboard help you make? Be specific — not 'understand performance' but 'decide whether to expand into the Southeast region this quarter.'"

If the requester struggles, use these prompts:

  • "What would you DO differently after seeing this dashboard?"
  • "If the number is high, what changes? If it's low, what changes?"
  • "Who makes this decision, and when?"

If no decision emerges: the request is a monitoring need, not a decision need. Route to Layer 1 (dashboard craft) and move on.

Step 2: Map the Decision Architecture

Element Question Example
Decision What specifically is being decided? "Expand to Southeast: yes/no"
Decision-maker Who has authority? "VP of Operations, with CFO sign-off"
Timeline When does this decision get made? "Q3 planning, due July 15"
Metrics needed What data informs this? "Market size, current penetration, operational capacity, P&L impact"
Threshold What number triggers action? "If projected ROI > 15% AND capacity utilization < 80%"
Context What else does the decision-maker need to know? "Previous expansion to Midwest failed at 12% ROI"
Failure mode What would make the wrong decision? "Misleading market size data (happened with Midwest)"

Step 3: Design the Decision Spec (Not the Dashboard)

Write a decision specification that captures:

  1. The question (in plain language, not metric language)
  2. The answer format (yes/no, rank order, threshold comparison)
  3. The data required (specific metrics with definitions and sources)
  4. The context required (what the decision-maker needs to know before looking at data)
  5. The intent (when metrics conflict, which wins?)
  6. The failure mode (what would lead to a wrong decision?)

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.
