Description
grafana-dashboards is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for creating and managing production Grafana dashboards that show system and application metrics in real time. It is built around two well-known monitoring methods. The RED method (Rate, Errors, Duration) suits services, showing how much traffic they handle, how often they fail and how long requests take. The USE method (Utilization, Saturation, Errors) suits resources such as CPUs, memory and disks. The skill also covers the design principles behind a good dashboard, starting with a hierarchy of information, so the most important signals sit at the top and the detail lies beneath them. It supports the panel types Grafana offers, including stat panels, time series graphs, tables and heatmaps. Its uses include visualizing Prometheus metrics, building custom dashboards, implementing SLO dashboards that track service-level objectives, monitoring infrastructure, and tracking business KPIs alongside technical metrics. The skill is aimed at engineers who run production systems and need dashboards that help during an incident rather than decorative charts. It is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 12.8K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
