Turn Your Boring Spreadsheet Into a Dashboard Your Boss Loves With One Free Claude Skill
Dashboard Design is a free Claude skill built from 127 real dashboards that companies shipped. Drop in your spreadsheet, and Claude builds a clean dashboard, then checks it on a laptop and a phone. How to install it and build your first one
Most work dashboards are a wall of cells and a default bar chart. Dashboard Design is a free, open-source Claude skill that teaches Claude how real product teams lay out numbers: the few numbers that matter in big tiles, one main chart, and a single line that says what changed.
Here's what it does, how to set it up in two messages, and the prompt to turn your spreadsheet into a dashboard.
What it does
- Rules pulled from 127 shipped dashboard screens (analytics tools, revenue dashboards, design systems) and 40+ products.
- A fixed layout that reads in seconds: title and date range, a strip of number tiles, the main chart, one line of insight.
- Honest numbers: clear comparisons, and missing data shows a dash, never a fake $0 or 0%.
- A screenshot check at the end: Claude looks at the finished dashboard on a wide screen, a laptop and a phone, and fixes what looks wrong on screen, not just in the code.
- It can also critique a dashboard you already have: send a screenshot and ask if it's a good design.
