creating-looker-dashboard

creating-looker-dashboard is a skill for Claude Code from looker-open-source/looker-skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (2,149 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating a Looker dashboard, a visual page of charts and figures built from connected data. It defines the dashboard in LookML, adds it to Looker and updates it from user feedback after the data model is ready.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and refine a dashboard in an existing, configured Looker project. It requires the earlier model-setup step and an authenticated Looker CLI.
Why use it?
It turns an agreed set of data questions and measures into a dashboard while keeping later changes synchronized with the Looker project.

    Skill grants unrestricted tool access without appropriate constraints. An agent with unfettered tool access can perform arbitrary actions including file modification, network requests, and code execution.
    Fix: Restrict tool access to only the tools required for the skill's stated purpose. Use an explicit allowlist rather than granting blanket access.

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

creating-looker-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 12d 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 Looker Dashboard & Feedback Loop

This skill guides you through the final step of onboarding: building the target dashboard requested by the user. You will define the dashboard as a LookML dashboard file in the project, import it into Looker as a User-Defined Dashboard (UDD), and iteratively update and synchronize it based on the user's feedback.

Prerequisites

  • Looker CLI must be installed and authenticated (Step 2 & 3).
  • Looker project, connection, views, and models must be fully set up and validated (Step 4, 5 & 6).

Instructions

1. Retrieve Dashboard Specs & Identify Target Folder

  1. Refer back to the target dashboard goal, tables, dimensions, and measures established with the user during the Step 1 (Discovery) interview in the conversation history (and subsequently created in Step 7 (Model)). You must recall these specifications to ensure the dashboard displays the correct data.
  2. Locate the target Looker Folder ID to place the dashboard. Since this is a brand-new Looker instance, we will prescriptively place the dashboard in the default Shared folder:
    • List all folders using the Looker CLI: looker-cli folder ls
    • Find the folder named "Shared" in the output. In a brand-new instance, this folder is always present and its ID is almost always "1".
    • Identify the ID of this "Shared" folder and use it as your target folder ID (which will be passed to the folder_id parameter in later steps).

2. Create the LookML Dashboard File (CLI)

You must define the dashboard structure as a LookML dashboard file in your project:

  1. Create the dashboards directory: If the dashboards/ directory does not yet exist in the project, create it using the Looker CLI:

    looker-cli project directory create {project_id} dashboards
    
  2. Generate Dashboard LookML: Write the LookML dashboard definition locally (e.g. to /tmp/{dashboard_name}.dashboard.lookml). Ensure the file uses the .dashboard.lookml extension.

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.
