What it does

Creating Apm Dashboards is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute this skill enables AI assistant to create application performance monitoring (apm) dashboards. it is triggered when the user requests the creation of a new apm dashboard, monitoring dashboard, or a dashboard for application performance. the skill helps ... Use when generating or creating new content. Trigger with phrases like 'generate', 'create', or 'scaffold'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/README.md` and `scripts/README.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Monitoring and alerting. It works with Grafana and Datadog. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Requests the creation of a new apm dashboard
  • Monitoring dashboard
  • A dashboard for application performance
  • Creating new content

Example prompts

  • “generate”
  • “create”
  • “scaffold”
  • “/creating-apm-dashboards”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(cmd:*)

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Requirements: Determine the specific metrics and visualizations needed for the APM dashboard based on the user's request.
  2. Define Dashboard Components: Select relevant components such as golden signals (latency, traffic, errors, saturation), request metrics…
  3. Generate Configuration: Create the dashboard configuration file based on the selected components and user preferences.
  4. Deploy Dashboard: Deploy the generated configuration to the target monitoring platform (e.g., Grafana, Datadog).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(cmd:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Creating Apm Dashboards loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 465 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Apm Dashboard Creator

Generate Application Performance Monitoring dashboards for Grafana, Datadog, and New Relic with golden signals, request metrics, and resource utilization panels.

Overview

This skill automates the creation of Application Performance Monitoring (APM) dashboards, providing a structured approach to visualizing critical application metrics. By defining key performance indicators and generating dashboard configurations, this skill simplifies the process of monitoring application health and performance.

How It Works

  1. Identify Requirements: Determine the specific metrics and visualizations needed for the APM dashboard based on the user's request.
  2. Define Dashboard Components: Select relevant components such as golden signals (latency, traffic, errors, saturation), request metrics, resource utilization, database metrics, cache metrics, business metrics, and error tracking.
  3. Generate Configuration: Create the dashboard configuration file based on the selected components and user preferences.
  4. Deploy Dashboard: Deploy the generated configuration to the target monitoring platform (e.g., Grafana, Datadog).

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

  • Create a new APM dashboard for an application.
  • Define key metrics and visualizations for monitoring application performance.
  • Generate dashboard configurations for Grafana, Datadog, or other monitoring platforms.

Examples

Example 1: Creating a Grafana Dashboard

User request: "Create a Grafana dashboard for monitoring my web application's performance."

The skill will:

  1. Identify the need for a Grafana dashboard focused on web application performance.
  2. Define dashboard components including request rate, response times, error rates, and resource utilization (CPU, memory).
  3. Generate a Grafana dashboard configuration file with pre-defined visualizations for these metrics.
Example 2: Setting up a Datadog Dashboard

User request: "Set up a Datadog dashboard to track the golden signals for my microservice."

The skill will:

  1. Identify the need for a Datadog dashboard focused on golden signals.
  2. Define dashboard components including latency, traffic, errors, and saturation metrics.
  3. Generate a Datadog dashboard configuration file with pre-defined visualizations for these metrics.

Best Practices

  • Specificity: Provide detailed information about the application and metrics to be monitored.
  • Platform Selection: Clearly specify the target monitoring platform (Grafana, Datadog, etc.) to ensure compatibility.
  • Iteration: Review and refine the generated dashboard configuration to meet specific monitoring needs.

Integration

This skill can be integrated with other plugins that manage infrastructure or application deployment to automatically create APM dashboards as part of the deployment process. It can also work with alerting plugins to define alert rules based on the metrics displayed in the generated dashboards.

Prerequisites

  • Appropriate file access permissions
  • Required dependencies installed

Instructions

  1. Invoke this skill when the trigger conditions are met
  2. Provide necessary context and parameters
  3. Review the generated output
  4. Apply modifications as needed

Output

The skill produces structured output relevant to the task.
