What it does

Building Admin Dashboard Customizations is an agent skill from medusajs/medusa-agent-skills. Load automatically when planning, researching, or implementing Medusa Admin dashboard UI (widgets, custom pages, forms, tables, data loading, navigation). REQUIRED for all admin UI work in ALL modes (planning, implementation, exploration). Contains design patterns, component usage, and data loading patterns that MCP servers don't provide.

Its SKILL.md is about 5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/data-loading.md`, `references/display-patterns.md` and `references/forms.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Design patterns and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills and commands for Medusa best practices and conventions.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Design patterns
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

Workflow steps

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

  1. Data Loading (CRITICAL)
  2. Design System (CRITICAL)
  3. Data Display (HIGH)
  4. Typography (HIGH)
  5. Forms & Modals (MEDIUM)
  6. Selection Patterns (MEDIUM)
  7. Start the Development Server
  8. Access the Admin Dashboard
  9. Navigate to Your Custom UI
  10. Test Functionality

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 066132d. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Building Admin Dashboard Customizations loads about 5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~22k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,668 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~22k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,668 words (~4,994 tokens).

“Build custom UI extensions for the Medusa Admin dashboard using the Admin SDK and Medusa UI components.”
