/build-dashboard - Build Interactive Dashboards
If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.
Build a self-contained interactive HTML dashboard with charts, filters, tables, and professional styling. Opens directly in a browser -- no server or dependencies required.
Usage
/build-dashboard <description of dashboard> [data source]
Workflow
1. Understand the Dashboard Requirements
Determine:
- Purpose: Executive overview, operational monitoring, deep-dive analysis, team reporting
- Audience: Who will use this dashboard?
- Key metrics: What numbers matter most?
- Dimensions: What should users be able to filter or slice by?
- Data source: Live query, pasted data, CSV file, or sample data
2. Gather the Data
If data warehouse is connected:
- Query the necessary data
- Embed the results as JSON within the HTML file
If data is pasted or uploaded:
- Parse and clean the data
- Embed as JSON in the dashboard
If working from a description without data:
- Create a realistic sample dataset matching the described schema
- Note in the dashboard that it uses sample data
- Provide instructions for swapping in real data
3. Design the Dashboard Layout
Follow a standard dashboard layout pattern:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Dashboard Title [Filters ▼] │
├────────────┬────────────┬────────────┬───────────┤
│ KPI Card │ KPI Card │ KPI Card │ KPI Card │
├────────────┴────────────┼────────────┴───────────┤
│ │ │
│ Primary Chart │ Secondary Chart │
│ (largest area) │ │
│ │ │
├─────────────────────────┴────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ Detail Table (sortable, scrollable) │
│ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Adapt the layout to the content:
- 2-4 KPI cards at the top for headline numbers
- 1-3 charts in the middle section for trends and breakdowns
- Optional detail table at the bottom for drill-down data
- Filters in the header or sidebar depending on complexity
4. Build the HTML Dashboard
Generate a single self-contained HTML file using the base template below. The file includes:
Structure (HTML):
- Semantic HTML5 layout
- Responsive grid using CSS Grid or Flexbox
- Filter controls (dropdowns, date pickers, toggles)
- KPI cards with values and labels
- Chart containers
- Data table with sortable headers
Styling (CSS):
- Professional color scheme (clean whites, grays, with accent colors for data)
- Card-based layout with subtle shadows
- Consistent typography (system fonts for fast loading)
- Responsive design that works on different screen sizes
- Print-friendly styles
Interactivity (JavaScript):
- Chart.js for interactive charts (included via CDN)
- Filter dropdowns that update all charts and tables simultaneously
- Sortable table columns
- Hover tooltips on charts
- Number formatting (commas, currency, percentages)
Data (embedded JSON):
- All data embedded directly in the HTML as JavaScript variables
- No external data fetches required
- Dashboard works completely offline
5. Implement Chart Types
Use Chart.js for all charts. Common dashboard chart patterns:
- Line chart: Time series trends
- Bar chart: Category comparisons
- Doughnut chart: Composition (when <6 categories)
- Stacked bar: Composition over time
- Mixed (bar + line): Volume with rate overlay
Use the Chart.js integration patterns below for each chart type.
6. Add Interactivity
Use the filter and interactivity implementation patterns below for dropdown filters, date range filters, combined filter logic, sortable tables, and chart updates.
7. Save and Open
- Save the dashboard as an HTML file with a descriptive name (e.g.,
sales_dashboard.html) - Open it in the user's default browser
- Confirm it renders correctly
- Provide instructions for updating data or customizing
Base Template
Every dashboard follows this structure:
<!DOCTYPE html>

// Calculate and display change
if (previousValue && previousValue !== 0) {
const pctChange = ((value - previousValue) / previousValue) * 100;
const sign = pctChange >= 0 ? '+' : '';
changeEl.textContent = `${sign}${pctChange.toFixed(1)}% vs prior period`;
changeEl.className = `kpi-change ${pctChange >= 0 ? 'positive' : 'negative'}`;
}
}
function formatValue(value, format) {
switch (format) {
case 'currency':
if (value >= 1e6) return `$${(value / 1e6).toFixed(1)}M`;
if (value >= 1e3) return `$${(value / 1e3).toFixed(1)}K`;
return `$${value.toFixed(0)}`;

Bar Chart
function createBarChart(canvasId, labels, data, options = {}) {
const ctx = document.getElementById(canvasId).getContext('2d');
const isHorizontal = options.horizontal || labels.length > 8;
return new Chart(ctx, {

Updating Charts on Filter Change
function updateChart(chart, newLabels, newData) {

});
} else {
chart.data.datasets[0].data = newData;
}
chart.update('none'); // 'none' disables animation for instant update
}
Filter and Interactivity Implementation
Dropdown Filter
<div class="filter-group">
<label for="filter-region">Region</label>
<select id="filter-region" onchange="dashboard.applyFilters()">
<option value="all">All Regions</option>
</select>
</div>
function populateFilter(selectId, data, field) {
const select = document.getElementById(selectId);
const values = [...new Set(data.map(d => d[field]))].sort();
// Keep the "All" option, add unique values
values.forEach(val => {
const option = document.createElement('option');
option.value = val;
option.textContent = val;
select.appendChild(option);
});
}
function getFilterValue(selectId) {
const val = document.getElementById(selectId).value;
return val === 'all' ? null : val;
}
Date Range Filter
<div class="filter-group">
<label>Date Range</label>
<input type="date" id="filter-date-start" onchange="dashboard.applyFilters()">
<span>to</span>
<input type="date" id="filter-date-end" onchange="dashboard.applyFilters()">
</div>
function filterByDateRange(data, dateField, startDate, endDate) {
return data.filter(row => {
const rowDate = new Date(row[dateField]);
if (startDate && rowDate < new Date(startDate)) return false;
if (endDate && rowDate > new Date(endDate)) return false;
return true;
});
}
Combined Filter Logic
applyFilters() {
const region = getFilterValue('filter-region');
const category = getFilterValue('filter-category');
const startDate = document.getElementById('filter-date-start').value;
const endDate = document.getElementById('filter-date-end').value;
this.filteredData = this.rawData.filter(row => {
if (region && row.region !== region) return false;
if (category && row.category !== category) return false;
if (startDate && row.date < startDate) return false;
if (endDate && row.date > endDate) return false;
return true;
});
this.renderKPIs();
this.updateCharts();
this.renderTable();
}
Sortable Table
function renderTable(containerId, data, columns) {
const container = document.getElementById(containerId);
let sortCol = null;
let sortDir = 'desc';
function render(sortedData) {
let html = '<table class="data-table">';
// Header
html += '<thead><tr>';
columns.forEach(col => {
const arrow = sortCol === col.field
? (sortDir === 'asc' ? ' ▲' : ' ▼')
: '';
html += `<th onclick="sortTable('${col.field}')" style="cursor:pointer">${col.label}${arrow}</th>`;
});
html += '</tr></thead>';
// Body
html += '<tbody>';
sortedData.forEach(row => {
html += '<tr>';
columns.forEach(col => {
const value = col.format ? formatValue(row[col.field], col.format) : row[col.field];
html += `<td>${value}</td>`;
});
html += '</tr>';
});
html += '</tbody></table>';
container.innerHTML = html;
}
window.sortTable = function(field) {
if (sortCol === field) {
sortDir = sortDir === 'asc' ? 'desc' : 'asc';
} else {
sortCol = field;
sortDir = 'desc';
}
const sorted = [...data].sort((a, b) => {
const aVal = a[field], bVal = b[field];
const cmp = aVal < bVal ? -1 : aVal > bVal ? 1 : 0;
return sortDir === 'asc' ? cmp : -cmp;
});
render(sorted);
};
render(data);
}

Performance Considerations for Large Datasets
Data Size Guidelines
| Data Size | Approach |
|---|---|
| <1,000 rows | Embed directly in HTML. Full interactivity. |
| 1,000 - 10,000 rows | Embed in HTML. May need to pre-aggregate for charts. |
| 10,000 - 100,000 rows | Pre-aggregate server-side. Embed only aggregated data. |
| >100,000 rows | Not suitable for client-side dashboard. Use a BI tool or paginate. |
Pre-Aggregation Pattern
Instead of embedding raw data and aggregating in the browser:
// DON'T: embed 50,000 raw rows
const RAW_DATA = [/* 50,000 rows */];
// DO: pre-aggregate before embedding
const CHART_DATA = {
monthly_revenue: [
{ month: '2024-01', revenue: 150000, orders: 1200 },
{ month: '2024-02', revenue: 165000, orders: 1350 },
// ... 12 rows instead of 50,000
],
top_products: [
{ product: 'Widget A', revenue: 45000 },
// ... 10 rows
],
kpis: {
total_revenue: 1980000,
total_orders: 15600,
avg_order_value: 127,
}
};
Chart Performance
- Limit line charts to <500 data points per series (downsample if needed)
- Limit bar charts to <50 categories
- For scatter plots, cap at 1,000 points (use sampling for larger datasets)
- Disable animations for dashboards with many charts:
animation: falsein Chart.js options - Use
Chart.update('none')instead ofChart.update()for filter-triggered updates
DOM Performance
- Limit data tables to 100-200 visible rows. Add pagination for more.
- Use
requestAnimationFramefor coordinated chart updates - Avoid rebuilding the entire DOM on filter change -- update only changed elements
// Efficient table pagination
function renderTablePage(data, page, pageSize = 50) {
const start = page * pageSize;
const end = Math.min(start + pageSize, data.length);
const pageData = data.slice(start, end);
// Render only pageData
// Show pagination controls: "Showing 1-50 of 2,340"
}
Examples
/build-dashboard Monthly sales dashboard with revenue trend, top products, and regional breakdown. Data is in the orders table.
/build-dashboard Here's our support ticket data [pastes CSV]. Build a dashboard showing volume by priority, response time trends, and resolution rates.
/build-dashboard Create a template executive dashboard for a SaaS company showing MRR, churn, new customers, and NPS. Use sample data.
Tips
- Dashboards are fully self-contained HTML files -- share them with anyone by sending the file
- For real-time dashboards, consider connecting to a BI tool instead. These dashboards are point-in-time snapshots
- Request "dark mode" or "presentation mode" for different styling
- You can request a specific color scheme to match your brand

Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pgcron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pgrestore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
