Interactive Dashboard Builder Skill
Patterns and techniques for building self-contained HTML/JS dashboards with Chart.js, filters, interactivity, and professional styling.
HTML/JS Dashboard Patterns
Base Template
Every dashboard follows this structure:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Dashboard Title</title>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]" integrity="sha384-jb8JQMbMoBUzgWatfe6COACi2ljcDdZQ2OxczGA3bGNeWe+6DChMTBJemed7ZnvJ" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]" integrity="sha384-cVMg8E3QFwTvGCDuK+ET4PD341jF3W8nO1auiXfuZNQkzbUUiBGLsIQUE+b1mxws" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<style>
/* Dashboard styles go here */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="dashboard-container">
<header class="dashboard-header">
<h1>Dashboard Title</h1>
<div class="filters">
<!-- Filter controls -->
</div>
</header>
<section class="kpi-row">
<!-- KPI cards -->
</section>
<section class="chart-row">
<!-- Chart containers -->
</section>
<section class="table-section">
<!-- Data table -->
</section>
<footer class="dashboard-footer">
<span>Data as of: <span id="data-date"></span></span>
</footer>
</div>
<script>
// Embedded data
const DATA = [];
// Dashboard logic
class Dashboard {
constructor(data) {
this.rawData = data;
this.filteredData = data;
this.charts = {};
this.init();
}
init() {
this.setupFilters();
this.renderKPIs();
this.renderCharts();
this.renderTable();
}
applyFilters() {
// Filter logic
this.filteredData = this.rawData.filter(row => {
// Apply each active filter
return true; // placeholder
});
this.renderKPIs();
this.updateCharts();
this.renderTable();
}
// ... methods for each section
}
const dashboard = new Dashboard(DATA);
</script>
</body>
</html>
KPI Card Pattern
<div class="kpi-card">
<div class="kpi-label">Total Revenue</div>
<div class="kpi-value" id="kpi-revenue">$0</div>
<div class="kpi-change positive" id="kpi-revenue-change">+0%</div>
</div>
function renderKPI(elementId, value, previousValue, format = 'number') {
const el = document.getElementById(elementId);
const changeEl = document.getElementById(elementId + '-change');
// Format the value
el.textContent = formatValue(value, format);
// Calculate and display change
if (previousValue && previousValue !== 0) {
const pctChange = ((value - previousValue) / previousValue) * 100;
const sign = pctChange >= 0 ? '+' : '';
changeEl.textContent = `${sign}${pctChange.toFixed(1)}% vs prior period`;
changeEl.className = `kpi-change ${pctChange >= 0 ? 'positive' : 'negative'}`;
}
}
function formatValue(value, format) {
switch (format) {
case 'currency':
if (value >= 1e6) return `$${(value / 1e6).toFixed(1)}M`;
if (value >= 1e3) return `$${(value / 1e3).toFixed(1)}K`;
return `$${value.toFixed(0)}`;
case 'percent':
return `${value.toFixed(1)}%`;
case 'number':
if (value >= 1e6) return `${(value / 1e6).toFixed(1)}M`;
if (value >= 1e3) return `${(value / 1e3).toFixed(1)}K`;
return value.toLocaleString();
default:
return value.toString();
}
}
Chart Container Pattern
<div class="chart-container">
<h3 class="chart-title">Monthly Revenue Trend</h3>
<canvas id="revenue-chart"></canvas>
</div>
Chart.js Integration
Line Chart
function createLineChart(canvasId, labels, datasets) {
const ctx = document.getElementById(canvasId).getContext('2d');
return new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: datasets.map((ds, i) => ({
label: ds.label,
data: ds.data,
borderColor: COLORS[i % COLORS.length],
backgroundColor: COLORS[i % COLORS.length] + '20',
borderWidth: 2,
fill: ds.fill || false,
tension: 0.3,
pointRadius: 3,
pointHoverRadius: 6,
}))
},
options: {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
interaction: {
mode: 'index',
intersect: false,
},
plugins: {
legend: {
position: 'top',
labels: { usePointStyle: true, padding: 20 }
},
tooltip: {
callbacks: {
label: function(context) {
return `${context.dataset.label}: ${formatValue(context.parsed.y, 'currency')}`;
}
}
}
},
scales: {
x: {
grid: { display: false }
},
y: {
beginAtZero: true,
ticks: {
callback: function(value) {
return formatValue(value, 'currency');
}
}
}
}
}
});
}
Bar Chart
function createBarChart(canvasId, labels, data, options = {}) {
const ctx = document.getElementById(canvasId).getContext('2d');
const isHorizontal = options.horizontal || labels.length > 8;
return new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
label: options.label || 'Value',
data: data,
backgroundColor: options.colors || COLORS.map(c => c + 'CC'),
borderColor: options.colors || COLORS,
borderWidth: 1,
borderRadius: 4,
}]
},
options: {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
indexAxis: isHorizontal ? 'y' : 'x',
plugins: {
legend: { display: false },
tooltip: {
callbacks: {
label: function(context) {
return formatValue(context.parsed[isHorizontal ? 'x' : 'y'], options.format || 'number');
}
}
}
},
scales: {
x: {
beginAtZero: true,
grid: { display: isHorizontal },
ticks: isHorizontal ? {
callback: function(value) {
return formatValue(value, options.format || 'number');
}
} : {}
},
y: {
beginAtZero: !isHorizontal,
grid: { display: !isHorizontal },
ticks: !isHorizontal ? {
callback: function(value) {
return formatValue(value, options.format || 'number');
}
} : {}
}
}
}
});
}
Doughnut Chart
function createDoughnutChart(canvasId, labels, data) {
const ctx = document.getElementById(canvasId).getContext('2d');
return new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'doughnut',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
data: data,
backgroundColor: COLORS.map(c => c + 'CC'),
borderColor: '#ffffff',
borderWidth: 2,
}]
},
options: {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
cutout: '60%',
plugins: {
legend: {
position: 'right',
labels: { usePointStyle: true, padding: 15 }
},
tooltip: {
callbacks: {
label: function(context) {
const total = context.dataset.data.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
const pct = ((context.parsed / total) * 100).toFixed(1);
return `${context.label}: ${formatValue(context.parsed, 'number')} (${pct}%)`;
}
}
}
}
}
});
}
Updating Charts on Filter Change
function updateChart(chart, newLabels, newData) {
chart.data.labels = newLabels;
if (Array.isArray(newData[0])) {
// Multiple datasets
newData.forEach((data, i) => {
chart.data.datasets[i].data = data;
});
} else {
chart.data.datasets[0].data = newData;
}
chart.update('none'); // 'none' disables animation for instant update
}
Filter and Interactivity Implementation
Dropdown Filter
<div class="filter-group">
<label for="filter-region">Region</label>
<select id="filter-region" onchange="dashboard.applyFilters()">
<option value="all">All Regions</option>
</select>
</div>
function populateFil

Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.

pdf-to-markdown
aliceisjustplaying
Convert entire PDF documents to clean, structured Markdown for full context loading. Use this skill when the user wants to extract ALL text from a PDF into context (not grep/search), when discussing or analyzing PDF content in full, when the user mentions "load the whole PDF", "bring the PDF into context", "read the entire PDF", or when partial extraction/grepping would miss important context. This is the preferred method for PDF text extraction over page-by-page or grep approaches.
