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

kpi-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 6d 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.

KPI Dashboard Design

Comprehensive patterns for designing effective Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboards that drive business decisions.

When to Use This Skill

  • Designing executive dashboards
  • Selecting meaningful KPIs
  • Building real-time monitoring displays
  • Creating department-specific metrics views
  • Improving existing dashboard layouts
  • Establishing metric governance

Core Concepts

1. KPI Framework

Level Focus Update Frequency Audience
Strategic Long-term goals Monthly/Quarterly Executives
Tactical Department goals Weekly/Monthly Managers
Operational Day-to-day Real-time/Daily Teams

2. SMART KPIs

Specific: Clear definition
Measurable: Quantifiable
Achievable: Realistic targets
Relevant: Aligned to goals
Time-bound: Defined period

3. Dashboard Hierarchy

├── Executive Summary (1 page)
│   ├── 4-6 headline KPIs
│   ├── Trend indicators
│   └── Key alerts
├── Department Views
│   ├── Sales Dashboard
│   ├── Marketing Dashboard
│   ├── Operations Dashboard
│   └── Finance Dashboard
└── Detailed Drilldowns
    ├── Individual metrics
    └── Root cause analysis

Detailed worked examples and patterns

Detailed sections (starting with ## Common KPIs by Department) live in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation summary above is insufficient.

Best Practices

Do's

  • Limit to 5-7 KPIs - Focus on what matters
  • Show context - Comparisons, trends, targets
  • Use consistent colors - Red=bad, green=good
  • Enable drilldown - From summary to detail
  • Update appropriately - Match metric frequency

Don'ts

  • Don't show vanity metrics - Focus on actionable data
  • Don't overcrowd - White space aids comprehension
  • Don't use 3D charts - They distort perception
  • Don't hide methodology - Document calculations
  • Don't ignore mobile - Ensure responsive design

Changes

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.
