Dashboards
Dashboard UI skills for coding agents
This page is a short list of agent skills for admin dashboards — filters, hierarchy, empty states, and chart layout instead of a flat table plus one purple chart. Compare the entries below, install one from GitHub or paste its SKILL.md, then ask your agent to build or refine the dashboard. Reach for structure-first skills before a component kit like shadcn when that stack is yours.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| UI/UX Pro Max nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill | When the dashboard is a product surface: information hierarchy, filters, empty states. | Claude Code | 2026-08-13 | pass |
| Web Design Guidelines vercel-labs/agent-skills | When you need web interface rules (density, type, layout) without a named UX kit. | Any agent | 2026-01-16 | pass |
| Prototype emilkowalski/skills | When the dashboard is a throwaway prototype and speed matters more than a design system. | Any agent | 2026-09-15 | pass |
| shadcn shadcn-ui/ui | When the dashboard will be implemented with shadcn primitives (table, sidebar, cards). | Any agent | 2026-10-14 | pass |

01
UI/UX Pro Max
Product-dashboard structure: hierarchy, filters, empty states. Use it when the screen is a real admin surface, not a throwaway. It does not fetch metrics.

02
Web Design Guidelines
Web interface rules for density and layout when you do not want a named UX kit. Complements ui-ux-pro-max; it will not invent a dashboard information architecture by itself.

03
Prototype
Fast, disposable UI. Use it when the dashboard is a prototype and speed matters more than a system. Do not use it as the long-term design-system skill.

04
shadcn
When the dashboard will be built from shadcn table, sidebar, and card primitives. Implementation kit, not UX structure. Pair with ui-ux-pro-max if the agent is flattening the layout.

FAQ
Is there a dedicated dashboard-creator skill?
Not as a single official file right now. ui-ux-pro-max plus web-design-guidelines cover the layout job; prototype is for a fast, disposable pass.
Should I add a charting MCP?
Only if you need live data tools. These skills do not fetch metrics. They tell the agent how the screen should be structured.
How do I keep the dashboard from looking generated?
Pair this task with the taste task if the first render is a generic admin template.
Can I use this with Grok Bot?
Yes. Paste the SKILL.md into Grok Bot or attach the file, then ask for the same job this page describes. MeloSkill is not affiliated with xAI. Grok Bot instructions: Grok Bot playbooks.

- UI/UX
Broader interface jobs: design systems, component choices, and the UX pass that sits above a single React file. The same SKILL.md can be pasted into Grok Bot or attached in that chat. Grok Bot instructions: Grok Bot playbooks.
- Frontend design
This page is a short list of agent skills for designing a new UI — type, color, layout, and motion without default template chrome. Compare the four files below, pick one default, install it from GitHub or paste its SKILL.md, then ask the agent to design a real page with a concrete subject. frontend-design fits a blank UI; web-design-guidelines fits product screens; taste-skill when the brief is “look designed”; impeccable for a craft pass on work that already exists. Install steps: how to install.
- shadcn
shadcn/ui skill for Claude Code and Cursor: compare the official CLI playbook with the kit-choice file and the composition follow-up before you install. Default to shadcn when the repo is already on the kit; use pick-ui-library when no kit is chosen yet. Install steps: how to install. The same SKILL.md can be pasted into Grok Bot or attached in that chat. Grok Bot instructions: Grok Bot playbooks.
