What it does

Update Dashboard is an agent skill from Abilityai/cornelius. Update dashboard.yaml with current knowledge base metrics from analysis report

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge bases. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered second brain template for Claude Code + Obsidian. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Knowledge bases

Example prompts

“/update-dashboard”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash, Glob

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Read Analysis Report
Build Dashboard YAML
Parse Metrics from Report
Write Dashboard
Confirm Update

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fd5e9a4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Read
- Write
- Bash
- Glob
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Update Dashboard loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 245 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

STEP 3: Parse Metrics from Report

Use the following extraction logic:

For header metrics (line 5):

Pattern: **Total Notes:** (\d+,?\d*) | **Blocks:** (\d+,?\d*) | **Permanent Notes:** (\d+) | **AI Insights:** (\d+) | **Document Insights:** (\d+)

For table metrics (lines 14-25):

Look for lines with | Total notes | X,XXX | +XXX |
Extract value and change columns

For domain percentages (lines 389-398):

Pattern: AI/Agents.*:\s+(\d+)%
Pattern: Neuroscience.*:\s+(\d+)%
etc.

STEP 4: Write Dashboard

Write the constructed YAML to /home/developer/dashboard.yaml

Ensure:

All numeric values are integers (no commas in YAML)
Percentages are integers without % symbol
Trends use "up" or "down" based on change values
Date is in YYYY-MM-DD format

STEP 5: Confirm Update

Report what was updated:

Dashboard updated at {current_timestamp}

Metrics refreshed:
- Total Notes: {value} ({change})
- Permanent Notes: {value} ({change})
- AI Insights: {value} ({change})
- Document Insights: {value} ({change})
- Domain distribution: AI {X}%, Neuro {X}%, Buddhism {X}%...

Dashboard written to: /home/developer/dashboard.yaml

Scheduling

This skill can be scheduled via /trinity-schedules:

# Daily update (recommended)
/trinity-schedules add update-dashboard --cron "0 9 * * *"

# After each /analyze-kb run
Run manually: /update-dashboard

Note: Dashboard data is only as fresh as the last /analyze-kb run. Consider running analyze-kb before update-dashboard for accurate metrics.
