dashboard-builder

dashboard-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from unrealandychan/clean-code-skill. It costs 37 tokens per session (536 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dashboard-builder, MIT.

A guide for building operational dashboards in Grafana, SigNoz, and similar monitoring tools. It organises metrics around questions such as whether a service is healthy, what changed, and where work is slowing down.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn service metrics into dashboards for health, latency, traffic, resource use, bottlenecks, and service-specific risks.
Why use it?
It prevents dashboards from becoming crowded collections of charts that do not help an operator decide what to do.

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-builder 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 Builder

Use this when the task is to build a dashboard people can operate from.

The goal is not "show every metric." The goal is to answer:

  • is it healthy?
  • where is the bottleneck?
  • what changed?
  • what action should someone take?

When to Use

  • "Build a Kafka monitoring dashboard"
  • "Create a Grafana dashboard for Elasticsearch"
  • "Make a SigNoz dashboard for this service"
  • "Turn this metrics list into a real operational dashboard"

Guardrails

  • do not start from visual layout; start from operator questions
  • do not include every available metric just because it exists
  • do not mix health, throughput, and resource panels without structure
  • do not ship panels without titles, units, and sane thresholds

Workflow

1. Define the operating questions

Organize around:

  • health / availability
  • latency / performance
  • throughput / volume
  • saturation / resources
  • service-specific risk

2. Study the target platform schema

Inspect existing dashboards first:

  • JSON structure
  • query language
  • variables
  • threshold styling
  • section layout

3. Build the minimum useful board

Recommended structure:

  1. overview
  2. performance
  3. resources
  4. service-specific section

4. Cut vanity panels

Every panel should answer a real question. If it does not, remove it.

Example Panel Sets

Elasticsearch

  • cluster health
  • shard allocation
  • search latency
  • indexing rate
  • JVM heap / GC

Kafka

  • broker count
  • under-replicated partitions
  • messages in / out
  • consumer lag
  • disk and network pressure

API gateway / ingress

  • request rate
  • p50 / p95 / p99 latency
  • error rate
  • upstream health
  • active connections

Quality Checklist

  • valid dashboard JSON
  • clear section grouping
  • titles and units are present
  • thresholds/status colors are meaningful
  • variables exist for common filters
  • default time range and refresh are sensible
  • no vanity panels with no operator value

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.
