dashboard-design

dashboard-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from markerikson/opencode-config-example. It costs 44 tokens per session (3,151 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of layout rules for dark, information-heavy dashboards with tables, charts, and status panels.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides table sizing, numeric formatting, alignment, sticky columns, row styling, and other dashboard display decisions.
Why use it?
It makes dense data easier to scan by keeping numbers aligned, columns stable, and visual differences between rows restrained.

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

dashboard-design 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.

Dashboard Design Patterns

Focused design guidance for data-dense dashboard UIs — trading dashboards, analytics panels, code review tools, monitoring interfaces. Complements general frontend design skills with patterns specific to tabular data, charts, status indicators, and dark-theme-first development.


Data Tables

Numeric Formatting

  • Use font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums on ALL number columns — prices, quantities, percentages, scores. Without this, columns jitter as values change.
  • Right-align numeric columns, left-align text columns. This is not optional — it's how humans scan numbers.
  • Format consistently: if one price shows $1,234.56, all prices show two decimal places. Don't mix $5 and $5.00.

Column Layout

  • Use table-layout: fixed with <colgroup> for consistent column widths. Auto-layout causes content-dependent jitter.
  • Define minimum column widths so narrow data doesn't collapse columns to unreadable sizes.
  • Consider sticky first column (symbol/name) on horizontally scrollable tables.

Row Differentiation

  • Use ONE technique: subtle alternating backgrounds OR increased row spacing — not both. Both together creates visual noise.
  • Alternating backgrounds: keep contrast extremely subtle (2-3% lightness difference). The goal is a guide rail for the eye, not a zebra.
  • Add a hover highlight row to help track across wide tables.
  • Every row looking identical is a hierarchy problem — use font-weight on the primary column (bold for Symbol, normal for secondary data).

Sortable Columns

  • Active sort column needs a clear indicator (arrow icon + subtle column highlight).
  • Inactive sortable columns: show a muted indicator on hover only.
  • Multi-sort: show sort priority numbers if supported.

Empty & Missing Data

  • Empty cells: use em-dash (—) styled muted (color: var(--color-text-tertiary)) — never leave cells blank (blank looks like a rendering bug).
  • When MOST cells in a column are empty, that's a data/design problem: consider hiding the column, showing a summary row, or collapsing to a denser layout.
  • Distinguish between "no value" (—), "zero" (0), and "not applicable" (n/a).
