Dashboard Creator builds interactive HTML dashboards featuring KPI cards, bar/pie/line charts, progress indicators, and data tables. It outputs a ready-to-use [name]-dashboard.html and uses semantic colors for quick insights. This tool is ideal for monitoring interfaces and analytics displays that need clear metrics at a glance.
How This Skill Works
The skill extracts metrics, arranges KPI cards in a grid, and generates charts (bar, pie, line) as SVG. It then adds progress indicators and writes the result to [name]-dashboard.html using a simple HTML/CSS template with semantic colors (green for positive, red for negative, blue neutral).
When to Use It
- Create dashboard for [metrics]
- Show KPI visualization
- Generate performance dashboard
- Make analytics dashboard with charts
- Build monitoring interface dashboards
Quick Start
- Step 1: Gather metrics data and decide which KPIs and charts to display.
- Step 2: Create KPI cards grid and embed SVG charts (bar/pie/line) in an HTML template.
- Step 3: Save as [name]-dashboard.html and adjust styling for responsiveness.
Best Practices
- Define a minimal KPI grid that groups related metrics for clarity.
- Choose chart types that match the data (bar for categories, line for trends, pie for proportions).
- Use SVG-based charts to keep dependencies light and ensure scalability.
- Apply semantic colors: green for positive, red for negative, blue for neutral.
- Name the output file as [name]-dashboard.html and ensure responsive styling.
