Create and manage production Grafana dashboards for real-time visualization of system and application metrics. Use when building monitoring dashboards, visualizing metrics, or creating operational observability interfaces.
npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill grafana-dashboards --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Grafana Dashboards Create and manage production-ready Grafana dashboards for comprehensive system observability. ## Purpose Design effective Grafana dashboards for monitoring applications, infrastructure, and business metrics. ## When to Use - Visualize Prometheus metrics - Create custom dashboards - Implement SLO dashboards - Monitor infrastructure - Track business KPIs ## Dashboard Design Principles ### 1. Hierarchy of Information ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Critical Metrics (Big Numbers) │ ├─────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Key Trends (Time Series) │ ├─────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Detailed Metrics (Tables/Heatmaps) │ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ### 2. RED Method (Services) - **Rate** - Requests per second - **Errors** - Error rate - **Duration** - Latency/response time ### 3. USE Method (Resources) - **Utilization** - % time resource is busy - **Saturation** - Queue length/wait time - **Errors** - Error count ## Dashboard Structure ### API Monitoring Dashboard ```json { "dashboard": { "title": "API Monitoring", "tags": ["api", "production"], "timezone": "browser", "refresh": "30s", "panels": [ { "title": "Request Rate", "type

What does the grafana-dashboards skill do?
Create and manage production Grafana dashboards for real-time visualization of system and application metrics. Use when building monitoring dashboards, visualizing metrics, or creating operational observability interfaces.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill grafana-dashboards --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 wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 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.
