dashboard-builder
Build monitoring dashboards that answer real operator questions for Grafana, SigNoz, and similar platforms. Use when turning metrics into a working dashboard instead of a vanity board.
npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill dashboard-builder --agent codex
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Dashboard Builder Use this when the task is to build a dashboard people can operate from. The goal is not "show every metric." The goal is to answer: - is it healthy? - where is the bottleneck? - what changed? - what action should someone take? ## When to Use - "Build a Kafka monitoring dashboard" - "Create a Grafana dashboard for Elasticsearch" - "Make a SigNoz dashboard for this service" - "Turn this metrics list into a real operational dashboard" ## Guardrails - do not start from visual layout; start from operator questions - do not include every available metric just because it exists - do not mix health, throughput, and resource panels without structure - do not ship panels without titles, units, and sane thresholds ## Workflow ### 1. Define the operating questions Organize around: - health / availability - latency / performance - throughput / volume - saturation / resources - service-specific risk ### 2. Study the target platform schema Inspect existing dashboards first: - JSON structure - query language - variables - threshold styling - section layout ### 3. Build the minimum useful board Recommended structure: 1. overview 2. performance 3. resources 4. service-specific se

What does the dashboard-builder skill do?
Build monitoring dashboards that answer real operator questions for Grafana, SigNoz, and similar platforms. Use when turning metrics into a working dashboard instead of a vanity board.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill dashboard-builder --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
