Claude Code Knowledge Pack7/10/2026

Overview

Generate a monitoring dashboard configuration for project metrics visualization.

Steps

  1. Determine the dashboard platform (Grafana, Datadog, custom HTML).
  2. Identify key metrics to display:
    • Build health: CI pass rate, build duration trend.
    • Code velocity: Commits per day, PRs merged per week.
    • Quality: Test coverage trend, bug count, tech debt items.
    • Performance: API response times, error rates, uptime.
    • Dependencies: Outdated count, vulnerability count.
  3. Design panel layout:
    • Top row: Key KPIs as single-stat panels.
    • Middle: Time series charts for trends.
    • Bottom: Tables for detailed breakdowns.
  4. Configure data sources and queries for each panel.
  5. Set up alert thresholds on critical metrics.
  6. Export the dashboard configuration as JSON.

Format

{
  "title": " Dashboard",
  "panels": [
    { "type": "stat", "title": "Build Status", "query": "..." },
    { "type": "graph", "title": "Response Time (P95)", "query": "..." }
  ]
}

Rules

  • Keep dashboards focused with 8-12 panels maximum.
  • Use consistent color coding: green=healthy, yellow=warning, red=critical.
  • Include time range selector defaulting to last 24 hours.
  • Add drill-down links from summary panels to detail views.
  • Document the data source requirements for each panel.
