Design effective KPI dashboards with metrics selection, visualization best practices, and real-time monitoring patterns. Use this skill when building an executive SaaS metrics dashboard tracking MRR, churn, and LTV/CAC ratios; designing an operations center with live service health and request throughput; creating a cohort retention analysis view for a product team; or debugging a dashboard where metrics contradict each other due to inconsistent calculation methodology.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# KPI Dashboard Design

- Designing executive dashboards
- Selecting meaningful KPIs
- Building real-time monitoring displays
- Creating department-specific metrics views
- Improving existing dashboard layouts
- Establishing metric governance

## Core Concepts

### 1. KPI Framework

| Level           | Focus            | Update Frequency  | Audience   |
| --------------- | ---------------- | ----------------- | ---------- |
| **Strategic**   | Long-term goals  | Monthly/Quarterly | Executives |
| **Tactical**    | Department goals | Weekly/Monthly    | Managers   |
| **Operational** | Day-to-day       | Real-time/Daily   | Teams      |

### 2. SMART KPIs

```
Specific: Clear definition
Measurable: Quantifiable
Achievable: Realistic targets
Relevant: Aligned to goals
Time-bound: Defined period
```

### 3. Dashboard Hierarchy

```
├── Executive Summary (1 page)
│   ├── 4-6 headline KPIs
│   ├── Trend indicators
│   └── Key alerts
├── Department Views
│   ├── Sales Dashboard
│   ├── Marketing Dashboard
│   ├── Operations Dashboard

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wshobson/agents/kpi-dashboard-design@sha256:cf913b10f5560547

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260522.be57c0b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
