What it does

Grafana Dashboard is an agent skill from pando85/kaniop. Improve and validate the Kaniop Grafana dashboard against repository metrics and the grigri live cluster. Use when changing dashboard panels, PromQL, variables, units, legends, or layout in charts/kaniop/files/dashboards/kaniop.json.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Monitoring and alerting and Container orchestration. It works with Grafana, Prometheus and Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: Kubernetes operator for managing Kanidm. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing dashboard panels
  • Layout in charts/kaniop/files/dashboards/kaniop.json

Example prompts

  • “/grafana-dashboard”

Workflow steps

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

  1. An explore agent inventories metric definitions, label sets, dashboard queries, and tests.
  2. A second agent reviews the proposed PromQL and panel design.
  3. Keep edits, MCP validation, and final browser acceptance in the orchestrator.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 772eb05. 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:

    • make
    • helm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use helm, 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

Grafana Dashboard loads about 987 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 437 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~987

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.

Improve and validate the Kaniop Grafana dashboard against repository metrics and the grigri live cluster. Use when changing dashboard panels, PromQL, variables, units, legends, or layout in charts/kaniop/files/dashboards/kaniop.json.

Kaniop Grafana Dashboard

Use this workflow for every dashboard change. Do not finish until both Grafana MCP query validation and Passless-managed visual validation succeed.

Source of truth

  • Dashboard: charts/kaniop/files/dashboards/kaniop.json
  • Metrics: libs/operator/src/metrics.rs, libs/k8s-util/src/metrics.rs
  • Provisioning: charts/kaniop/templates/dashboard-configmap.yaml
  • Helm tests: charts/kaniop/tests/dashboard-configmap_test.yaml
  • Live Grafana: grafana.grigri.cloud
  • Live datasource: discover it with grafana-grigri_list_datasources; never assume a UID

Orchestration

Delegate independent discovery to subagents:

  1. An explore agent inventories metric definitions, label sets, dashboard queries, and tests.
  2. A second agent reviews the proposed PromQL and panel design.
  3. Keep edits, MCP validation, and final browser acceptance in the orchestrator.

Workflow

  1. Inventory metric names and labels from Rust before editing.
  2. Discover live Kaniop metrics with grafana-grigri_list_prometheus_metric_names using ^kaniop_.*.
  3. Confirm labels and values with grafana-grigri_list_prometheus_label_names and grafana-grigri_list_prometheus_label_values.
  4. Compare repository metrics with live metrics. Do not add a panel that has neither live data nor an explicit reason to document an expected absent series.
  5. Edit the provisioned dashboard. Preserve its stable uid; omit the Grafana database-level id.
  6. Validate every changed PromQL expression with grafana-grigri_query_prometheus over a representative live time range.
  7. Upload a development copy through grafana-grigri_update_dashboard:
    • remove id
    • use UID kaniop-dev
    • set title to Kaniop — DEV VALIDATION
    • set overwrite: true
    • leave the development copy in place for later iterations
  8. Retrieve the uploaded copy with grafana-grigri_get_dashboard_summary and grafana-grigri_get_dashboard_panel_queries; verify panel count, datasource, and exact expressions.
  9. Run helm unittest charts/kaniop, make lint, and make test.
  10. Use the passless-agent skill and its required profile checks. Launch the Passless-managed browser, connect through Playwright MCP, log in to grafana.grigri.cloud, open /d/kaniop-dev, and inspect the rendered dashboard. Never expose credentials, cookies, CDP data, or tokens.
  11. Verify that panels load, variables populate, legends are readable, units are correct, no query errors appear, and absent data is explainable by cluster activity rather than an invalid query.

PromQL rules

  • Counters: use rate(...[$interval]) for throughput and increase(...[$interval]) for interval totals.
  • Histograms: use histogram_quantile(q, sum by (<labels>, le) (rate(..._bucket[$interval]))).
  • Reconcile metrics: preserve the controller filter and grouping where relevant.
  • Kubernetes API request metrics: the application emits endpoint, but Prometheus may rename it to exported_endpoint when the scrape target already has an endpoint label. Discover the live label before choosing it.
  • Avoid division by zero in mean calculations when the denominator can be absent.
  • Use explicit legend formats for multi-label series.

Acceptance checklist

  • Dashboard JSON parses.
  • Every metric and label is confirmed in code.
  • Changed queries execute successfully through grafana-grigri.
  • The dev dashboard exists and its stored queries match the repository.
  • Helm tests, lint, and tests pass.
  • Passless-managed browser verification succeeds against the real grigri cluster.
  • The repository dashboard keeps its production UID and contains no environment credentials.
