What problem does it solve? Building Grafana dashboards by hand often produces broken queries, wrong datasource UIDs, and unreadable layouts that are only discovered after deployment. This Skill turns dashboard creation into an iterative workflow that verifies datasources, validates manifests, and visually inspects rendered snapshots before declaring the work done. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Iterative dashboard authoring: Follows a loop of discover data, author, validate, push, snapshot, and revise using gcx commands. - Datasource discovery: Verifies Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and Pyroscope labels, metrics, and UIDs before writing any PromQL or LogQL queries. - Visual feedback loop: Renders full-dashboard or per-panel PNG snapshots and inspects them for empty panels, truncation, and layout problems. - Use Case: An SRE asks for a new service health dashboard. The Skill finds similar existing dashboards, discovers the correct metrics and labels, authors a manifest, pushes it to the right folder, snapshots it, and fixes visual issues before reporting completion. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a Grafana dashboard for your service with panels for traffic, errors, and latency, and have it verify the result with a rendered snapshot.
