ring:creating-grafana-dashboards

ring:creating-grafana-dashboards is a skill for Cursor from LerianStudio/ring. It costs 103 tokens per session (5,156 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for creating Grafana dashboards for Go services that emit telemetry such as traces, metrics, and logs. Grafana is a system for displaying operational data in charts and panels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory telemetry, choose RED or USE monitoring panels, define service indicators and alerts, and generate dashboards as code.
Why use it?
It turns service telemetry into views that help teams monitor request rates, errors, latency, resource use, and alerts. This makes operational problems easier to observe during development and running services.

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

ring:creating-grafana-dashboards 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 1mo 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.

Creating Grafana Dashboards (lib-observability, PM-team)

When to use

Sweep mode:

  • "Create / scaffold Grafana dashboards for this service"
  • "Inventory telemetry / build telemetry dictionary"
  • "Audit observability before designing dashboards"
  • "Produce dashboards as code for {service}"
  • "PM wants visibility into {domain} — what dashboards do we need?"

Reference mode:

  • "What's the right panel for HTTP request latency?"
  • "RED vs USE methodology for this metric type?"
  • "How do I compose Grafonnet panels?"
  • "Which Grafonnet template fits a counter / histogram / gauge?"

Skip when

  • Service is not a Go project (lib-observability is Go-only at this skill's scope)
  • Service emits no telemetry (pre-instrumentation; instrument the service before dashboard authoring, then use ring:implementing-tasks to verify observability checks pass)
  • Task is purely Grafana folder organization or dashboard import (no authoring)
  • Service is consumer-only sidecar with no metrics surface

Sequence

Runs before: ring:running-dev-cycle, ring:running-dev-cycle-frontend

Complementary: ring:implementing-tasks, ring:codebase-explorer, ring:mapping-streaming-events, ring:using-lib-observability, ring:using-tracing Similar: ring:using-runtime, ring:using-assert

Prerequisites

  • Go service with lib-observability initialized in bootstrap (tracing.NewTelemetry, metrics.NewFactory, zap.NewLogger)
  • At least one metric, span, or structured log emission point present
  • docs/ directory writable
  • Grafonnet toolchain available in CI (jsonnet + grafonnet-lib) — installer instructions in ci-drift-check.md

Orchestrates a 3-phase, 8-gate workflow to produce Grafana dashboards grounded in real telemetry. You orchestrate. Agents explore. PM iterates. You NEVER read, write, or edit source code directly during the sweep.

Announce at start: "Using ring:creating-grafana-dashboards through 8 gates (0–7)."

Mode Selection

Request Shape Mode
"Create / scaffold dashboards" / "build telemetry dictionary" Sweep (run gates 0–7)
"Which panel for X?" / "RED vs USE?" / "Grafonnet template for Y?" Reference (load sub-files/reference.md)

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.
