Designs effective KPI dashboards with proper metric selection, visual hierarchy, and data visualization best practices.

  • Creating analytics views

What it does

Kpi Dashboard Design is an agent skill from secondsky/claude-skills. Designs effective KPI dashboards with proper metric selection, visual hierarchy, and data visualization best practices. Use when building executive dashboards, creating analytics views, or presenting business metrics.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering OKRs and executive reporting. The repository describes itself as: Production-ready skills for Claude Code CLI - Cloudflare, React, Tailwind v4, and AI integrations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building executive dashboards
  • Creating analytics views
  • Presenting business metrics

Example prompts

  • “Use the kpi-dashboard-design skill to design effective KPI dashboards with proper metric selection, visual hierarchy, and data visualization best…”
  • “/kpi-dashboard-design”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8837836. 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 (its code samples are css).

    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

Kpi Dashboard Design loads about 687 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 165 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~687

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.

  • Scheduled email reports

Best Practices

  • Limit to 5-7 KPIs per dashboard
  • Show trends, not just snapshots
  • Use consistent color coding
  • Include comparison periods (vs last month)
  • Update data in real-time or hourly
  • Review dashboard relevance quarterly

Common Mistakes

  • Too many metrics (information overload)
  • No clear visual hierarchy
  • Missing context (no comparisons)
  • Outdated or stale data
  • Metrics without ownership
