What it does

Scaffold Dashboard is an agent skill from ahpxex/open-dashboard. Stand up the dashboard foundation (the platform layer — UI primitives, form system, charts, Repository + adapters, auth seam, theme, routing shell) into a new project as a zero-config runnable app. Run this FIRST when building a dashboard, then compose screens from the add-component catalogue's shapes (add-detail-page, add-kanban, …) and the add-backend operation skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 184 other files (for example `base/CLAUDE.md`, `base/README.md` and `base/biome.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Task management and Meeting notes and agendas. It works with TanStack, React, Better Auth and shadcn/ui. The repository describes itself as: A skill catalogue of 36 copy-ready admin UI shapes an AI agent installs and composes into a real back-office. Built on TanStack Start, Drizzle + better-auth, shadcn + Tailwind v4. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Task management
  • Tasks that involve Meeting notes and agendas

Example prompts

  • “/scaffold-dashboard”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa9815f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (TypeScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun
    • bash

    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

Scaffold Dashboard loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 459 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~98
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

description
Stand up the dashboard foundation (the platform layer — UI primitives, form system, charts, Repository + adapters, auth seam, theme, routing shell) into a new project as a zero-config runnable app. Run this FIRST when building a dashboard, then compose screens from the add-component catalogue's shapes (add-detail-page, add-kanban, …) and the add-backend operation skill.

Scaffold the dashboard foundation

The whole foundation is bundled at base/ — a clean, runnable app shell with no demo content. Materialize it into a new project, then add screens from the add-component catalogue's shapes (and the add-backend operation skill). You don't read the foundation code — you scaffold it.

Scaffold

bash
bash .claude/skills/scaffold-dashboard/scaffold.sh <target-dir>

Copies base/ → target and runs bun install. Then:

bash
cd <target-dir>
bun run dev          # zero-config: in-memory auth + data, no Postgres/Docker

Open it, click Dev quick login (dev@example.com / password) → an empty, branded dashboard.

What you get

TanStack Start + Router + Query + Table; shadcn-on-@base-ui/react primitives; Tailwind v4 theme; the form system (TanStack Form + zod); chart components; the Repository data layer (in-memory by default, Drizzle/Postgres when DATABASE_URL is set); better-auth behind the AuthProvider seam; toast + useConfirm; and the auth-guarded routing shell. Rebrand via src/config/app.ts (or the rebrand skill).

Compose a coherent product (not a demo dump)

You are building a real back-office for a specific domain — not showcasing the catalogue. The fastest way to ship something that reads as a patchwork demo is to copy a pile of gallery shapes into the nav. Don't. Instead:

  • The home is an overview, never the placeholder. Replace src/routes/_app/index.tsx (the "clean shell" welcome) with a real overview via add-chart-page — KPIs + charts derived from your actual resources. Shipping the scaffold welcome as the product home is the #1 tell of a demo.
  • Nav = real product sections only: Overview, your resources, Settings. The scaffold base ships clean (no demo resources, no Skills Gallery) — you add product sections to src/lib/sidebar-items.ts, you don't prune sample ones.
  • Pick the archetype that fits each resource's shape, don't add one of each: flat list → CRUD table (add-backend); rich record → + add-detail-page; an inbox you triage → add-master-detail; a staged pipeline → add-kanban; people/visual items → add-card-list; date-bound items → add-calendar; metrics → add-chart-page.
  • Every nav item gets a distinct, meaningful Phosphor icon — never repeat one icon (e.g. SquaresFourIcon) down the list.
  • Use product language. Labels and page copy name the domain, not the mechanism: "Feed", not "Feed (REST)"; "Manage your invoices", not "Generated resource — customise the schema".
  • Seed believable data — real names, dates, statuses, amounts. Three rows of Alpha/Beta/Gamma read as a demo; a dozen realistic records read as a product.

Add screens (compose from the add-component catalogue)

The shapes below are references inside the single add-component catalogue (not separate invocable skills); each copies a bundled template into the new project. Data + CRUD comes from the add-backend operation skill.

  • Resources (data + CRUD): bun run create-resource <name> (or add-backend), then the catalogue's add-detail-page, add-master-detail, add-card-list, add-form, add-chart-page.
  • Shapes (all in add-component): add-list-view, add-kanban, add-tree-view, add-calendar, add-timeline, add-virtual-table, add-inline-edit, add-filter-panel, add-wizard-form, add-field-combobox, add-record-tabs, add-settings-page, add-empty-state, add-page-layout, add-data-display, add-feedback-states.

After copying a template, add a sidebar entry in src/lib/sidebar-items.ts (above the // create-resource:anchor) so it shows in the nav.

Verify

bash
cd <target-dir>
bun run typecheck && bun run check && bun run test && bun run build

All green on the empty shell (and after each screen you add). bun run dev boots zero-config.
