Apply dashboard-grade chat UX patterns in the Eve chat template.

  • Calls pnpm
  • Static shell layout

What it does

Dashboard Chat Best Practices is an agent skill from vercel-labs/eve-chat-template, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Apply dashboard-grade chat UX patterns in the Eve chat template. Use when changing Next.js Cache Components/PPR behavior, static shell layout, Suspense bootstrap boundaries, theme hydration, auth display hydration, signed-in/signed-out static shell behavior, optimistic messages, streaming row identity, composer/sidebar interactions, thinking/tool rendering, responsive styling, visual polish, or Vercel dashboard chat comparisons.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It works with Vercel and Next.js.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing Next.js Cache Components/PPR behavior
  • Static shell layout
  • Suspense bootstrap boundaries
  • Theme hydration

Example prompts

  • “/dashboard-chat-best-practices”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d9989e0. 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

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

  • Network

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

Dashboard Chat Best Practices loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,101 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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); 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 1,101 words (~2,092 tokens).

“Use this skill to keep the template's web chat feeling like a polished dashboard surface: stable, quiet, fast to first paint, and predictable under streaming state.”
