next-shadcn-dashboard-starter is an open-source Next.js template for building admin dashboards with working tables, forms, authentication, organizations, and billing. It is intended as a starting point for SaaS products and internal tools that need reusable TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui patterns. The catalogue entries provide skills and instructions for working with this dashboard project.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Kiranism/next-shadcn-dashboard-starternpx agentmods add skills/kiranism/next-shadcn-dashboard-starter/kiranism-shadcn-dashboardWrote this? Show the measurements
A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00142 | $0.05676 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00071 | $0.02838 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01135 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00568 |
Grade A, and why
kiranism-shadcn-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 13d 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 — 616 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Adding a New Feature (End-to-End)
When a user asks to add a feature (e.g., "add an orders page"), follow these steps in order. Each step below shows the minimal pattern — see reference files for full templates.
Step 1: Mock API (src/constants/mock-api-<name>.ts)
See references/mock-api-guide.md for the complete template. Key structure:
import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker';
import { matchSorter } from 'match-sorter';
import { delay } from './mock-api';
export type Order = {
id: number;
customer: string;
status: string;
total: number;
created_at: string;
updated_at: string;
};
export const fakeOrders = {
records: [] as Order[],
initialize() {
/* generate with faker */
},
async getOrders({ page, limit, search, sort }) {
/* filter, sort, paginate, return { items, total_items } */
},
async getOrderById(id: number) {
/* find by id */
},
async createOrder(data) {
/* push to records */
},
async updateOrder(id, data) {
/* merge into record */
},
async deleteOrder(id) {
/* filter out */
}
};
fakeOrders.initialize();
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

kiranism-shadcn-dashboard is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kiranism/next-shadcn-dashboard-starter (6,977 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 142 tokens to every session and 5,676 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
