What it does

Managing Dashboards is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Guides PostHog engineers through dashboard platform and scene changes. Use when changing Dashboard, DashboardTile, dashboardLogic, dashboard layouts, dashboard sharing or embeds, public dashboards, templates, filters, variables, refresh behavior, tile loading, dashboard lists, or dashboard permissions. Covers normal, shared, embedded, export, product-embedded, and template surfaces; RBAC; cache and query behavior; responsive layouts; and large or small dashboards.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `references/access-sharing-and-embeds.md`, `references/backend-contracts-and-operations.md` and `references/data-models-and-collaboration.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Responsive design and Authorization and RBAC. It works with PostHog. The repository describes itself as: :hedgehog: PostHog is the leading platform for building self-driving products. Our developer tools – AI observability, analytics, session replay, flags, experiments, error…

When your agent uses it

  • Changing Dashboard
  • Dashboard layouts
  • Dashboard sharing
  • Public dashboards

Example prompts

  • “Use the managing-dashboards skill to guide PostHog engineers through dashboard platform and scene changes”
  • “/managing-dashboards”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Route the request
  2. Define feature intake and acceptance criteria
  3. Define the change contract
  4. Implement across layers
  5. Test the boundary, not only the happy path
  6. Code map

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10f9ad7. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Managing Dashboards loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 141 tokens; SKILL.md has 955 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~141
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~14k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 955 words (~2,714 tokens).

“Use this skill for a dashboard change that affects the dashboard platform, dashboard scene, or an existing non-widget tile type.”
