A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

A dashboard requirements document specifies what questions a dashboard should answer, what metrics it displays, and how data should be visualized. Clear requirements help data teams build dashboards that actually inform decisions rather than just displaying numbers.
measure-instrumentation-spec; instrument first, visualize secondmeasure-experiment-design and measure-experiment-resultsmeasure-okr-graderfoundation-okr-writer or define-problem-statementWhen asked to specify dashboard requirements, follow these steps:
Start with the questions this dashboard should answer, not the charts it should show. What decisions will this dashboard inform? A dashboard without clear purpose becomes a vanity metrics display.
Specify who will use this dashboard, how often, and in what context. An executive weekly review has different needs than a team's daily standup board.
For each metric, document: name, business definition (in plain language), calculation formula, data source, and baseline/target values. Ambiguous metrics lead to misaligned dashboards.
Recommend chart types based on what the data should communicate. Time trends need line charts; comparisons need bar charts; compositions need pie/treemaps. Include dimension breakdowns.
Specify what drill-downs users need: date ranges, user segments, product areas, geographic regions. Anticipate the "slice and dice" questions users will ask.
Identify where data comes from and any known data quality issues. Note latency requirements.does the dashboard need real-time data or is daily refresh sufficient?
Determine who can view what. Some metrics may need restricted access. Consider both security requirements and organizational politics.
