Three more learnings from alirezarezvani/claude-skills, applied: 1. SkillCheck validator (scripts/skillcheck.mjs) — validates every SKILL.md against the authoring standard (frontmatter, name/folder match, trigger + produces clauses, required headings) plus tier referential integrity. Errors fail CI; --strict fails on warnings too. New skillcheck.yml workflow and a SkillCheck status badge in the README. Current: 0 errors / 14 advisory warnings across 172 skills. 2. Cursor export platform — build-exports.mjs now generates exports/cursor/<bundle>/<skill>/<skill>.mdc rule files. The PLATFORMS registry now supports per-skill filenames (file as a function). 3. Per-agent installers — scripts/install.sh unifies install for claude/hermes/codex/openclaw/cursor (--link, --target, --dry-run, --list). Curl-able one-liners codex-install.sh, openclaw-install.sh, and cursor-install.sh clone the library and install in a single command. README documents the one-line installs and Cursor exports; CHANGELOG and the authoring standard updated.

# Dashboard Brief Skill
|
||
|
||
This skill converts a business question or monitoring need into a complete, implementation-ready dashboard specification. The output gives a data engineer or BI developer everything they need to build without a follow-up meeting.
|
||
|
||
## Required Inputs
|
||
|
||
Ask the user for these if not provided:
|
||
- **The business question this dashboard should answer** (e.g. "How is our activation funnel performing this week?")
|
||
- **Primary audience** (exec / product team / operations / customer success / engineering)
|
||
- **Refresh cadence** (real-time / hourly / daily / weekly)
|
||
- **Data sources available** (e.g. Postgres, BigQuery, Mixpanel, Salesforce, Jira)
|
||
- **BI tool being used** (Looker / Metabase / Tableau / Power BI / Grafana / Custom / Unknown)
|
||
|
||
## Output Structure
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
# Dashboard Brief: [Dashboard Name]
|
||
|
||
**Business Question:** [The question this dashboard answers — verbatim from inputs or refined]
|
||
**Audience:** [Who uses this]
|
||
**Refresh Rate:** [Real-time / Hourly / Daily / Weekly]
|
||
**Data Sources:** [List]
|
||
**BI Tool:** [Tool or Unknown]
|
||

||
## Section 1: Key Metrics (KPI Cards)
|
||
|
||
List the headline numbers that should appear at the top of the dashboard as KPI cards.
|
||
|
||
| Metric | Definition | Data Source | Comparison |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| [Metric name] | [How it's calculated] | [Table/source] | [vs. last week / vs. target / MoM] |
|
||
|
||
Aim for 3–6 KPI cards. More than 6 is noise.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Section 2: Charts & Visualisations
|
||
|
||
For each chart, specify:
|
||
|
||
### Chart [N]: [Chart Title]
|
||
|
||
- **Chart type:** [Line / Bar / Stacked bar / Pie / Funnel / Heatmap / Table / Scatter]
|
||
- **Why this chart type:** [One sentence — why this type suits this data]
|
||
- **X-axis / Rows:** [Dimension — e.g. Date, User segment, Product]
|
||
- **Y-axis / Values:** [Metric — e.g. Count of active users, Revenue]
|
||
- **Breakdown/colour:** [Optional secondary dimension — e.g. by Plan tier, by Channel]
|
||
- **Data source:** [Table or source]
|
||
- **Filters:** [Any default filters applied — e.g. "Exclude internal test accounts"]
|
||
- **Key insight to surface:** [What pattern or signal this chart should help the viewer spot]
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## Section 3: Filters & Controls
|
||
|
||
Global filters available to dashboard viewers:
|
||
|
||
| Filter | Type | Default | Options |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Date range | Date picker | Last 30 days | Custom |
|
||
| [Segment filter] | Dropdown | All | [List relevant values] |
|
||
| [Other filter] | Multi-select | All | [List relevant values] |
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## Section 4: Layout Recommendation
|
||
|
||
Describe the dashboard layout in plain terms:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
[ROW 1 — KPI Cards]: [Metric 1] | [Metric 2] | [Metric 3] | [Metric 4]
|
||
[ROW 2 — Primary chart, full width]: [Chart name]
|
||
[ROW 3 — Two charts side by side]: [Chart A] | [Chart B]
|
||
[ROW 4 — Supporting table, full width]: [Table name]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Section 5: Data Requirements
|
||
|
||
List any data transformations, joins, or derived fields needed:
|
||
|
||
| Derived Field | Logic | Source Tables |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| [Field name] | [How it's calculated] | [Tables involved] |
|
||
|
||
Flag any fields that may not exist in current data infrastructure.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Section 6: Access & Ownership
|
||
|
||
- **Dashboard owner:** [Leave for user to fill]
|
||
- **Who can edit:** [Leave for user to fill]
|
||
- **Who can view:** [Leave for user to fill]
|
||
- **Review cadence:** [When should this dashboard be reviewed for relevance?]

## Quality Checks
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Every chart has a stated "key insight to surface" — not just "show the data"
|
||
- [ ] KPI cards are 3–6 (not more)
|
||
- [ ] Chart types are justified
|
||
- [ ] Layout follows visual hierarchy (summary → detail)
|
||
- [ ] Data requirements section flags any missing fields
|
||
- [ ] Filters are practical and don't require IT to configure
|
||
|
||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Do not specify metrics that the available data sources cannot actually support — always validate data availability
|
||
- [ ] Do not include more than 8–10 primary metrics on a single dashboard — more creates noise, not insight
|
||
- [ ] Do not skip the primary business question — a dashboard without a north-star question becomes a vanity metrics display
|
||
- [ ] Do not choose chart types for aesthetic reasons — every chart type must match the data relationship it represents
|
||
- [ ] Do not leave filter configurations vague — specify exact filter values, not just filter categories
|
||
|
||
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
||
|
||
- "Design a dashboard to track [business process]"
|
||
- "Give me a spec for a [team] performance dashboard"
|
||
- "What should go on a [topic] dashboard?"
|
||
- "Write a dashboard brief for our [metric] monitoring"
