Build Dashboard walks the agent through a seven-step workflow for producing a single, self-contained HTML dashboard. It first pins down purpose, audience, key metrics, filter dimensions and data source; then gathers data by querying a connected warehouse, parsing pasted or uploaded data, or generating a realistic sample dataset that is clearly labelled as sample data. The layout pattern is 2-4 KPI cards on top, 1-3 charts in the middle and an optional sortable detail table below. The skill supplies a base template, Chart.js patterns for line, bar, doughnut and mixed charts, and JavaScript for dropdown and date-range filters that update every chart and table at once.
Use it for executive overviews, team monitoring snapshots or turning query results into a report you can send as one file that works offline. It includes data-size guidance: embed small datasets directly, pre-aggregate larger ones, and do not attempt more than roughly 100,000 rows client-side. The skill is explicit that these files are point-in-time snapshots; for real-time monitoring it points you to a BI tool.
In BusinessMCP the AI business analyst can follow this playbook with real inputs, pulling figures from your workspace analytics, Stripe revenue or a connected database, when you want a portable snapshot rather than the live dashboard the platform already provides.
What you can do with it
- Turn a query result into a shareable HTML report with KPI cards
- Build an executive overview with filters that update every chart
- Package a weekly team snapshot as one file that works offline
- Mock up a dashboard layout from a schema using labelled sample data
Run it on your business data

Frequently asked questions
What does Build Dashboard produce?
A single HTML file with embedded JSON data, KPI cards, Chart.js charts, filter controls and a sortable table. It opens in a browser with no server required.
Is the dashboard live?
No. The skill describes its output as a point-in-time snapshot and suggests a BI tool for real-time dashboards. Datasets above roughly 100,000 rows are flagged as unsuitable for a client-side file.
How do I install Build Dashboard?
