# 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 section ### 4. Cut vanity panels Every panel should answer a real question. If it does not, remove it. ## Example Panel Sets ### Elasticsearch - cluster health - shard allocation - search latency - indexing rate - JVM heap / GC ### Kafka - broker count - under-replicated partitions - messages in / out - consumer lag - disk and network pressure ### API gateway / ingress - request rate - p50 / p95 / p99 latency - error rate - upstream health - active connections ## Quality Checklist - [ ] valid dashboard JSON - [ ] clear section grouping - [ ] titles and units are present - [ ] thresholds/status colors are meaningful - [ ] variables exist for common filters - [ ] default time range and refresh are sensible - [ ] no vanity panels with no operator value ## Related Skills - `research-ops` - `backend-patterns` - `terminal-ops`

api-connector-builder
Build a new API connector or provider by matching the target repo's existing integration pattern exactly. Use when adding one more integration without inventing a second architecture.
workspace-surface-audit
Audit the active repo, MCP servers, plugins, connectors, env surfaces, and harness setup, then recommend the highest-value ECC-native skills, hooks, agents, and operator workflows. Use when the user wants help setting up Claude Code or understanding what capabilities are actually available in their environment.

Record polished UI demo videos using Playwright. Use when the user asks to create a demo, walkthrough, screen recording, or tutorial video of a web application. Produces WebM videos with visible cursor, natural pacing, and professional feel.
token-budget-advisor
Offers the user an informed choice about how much response depth to consume before answering. Use this skill when the user explicitly wants to control response length, depth, or token budget. TRIGGER when: "token budget", "token count", "token usage", "token limit", "response length", "answer depth", "short version", "brief answer", "detailed answer", "exhaustive answer", "respuesta corta vs larga", "cuántos tokens", "ahorrar tokens", "responde al 50%", "dame la versión corta", "quiero controlar cuánto usas", or clear variants where the user is explicitly asking to control answer size or depth. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user has already specified a level in the current session (maintain it), the request is clearly a one-word answer, or "token" refers to auth/session/payment tokens rather than response size.
skill-comply
