build-grafana-dashboards from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/build-grafana-dashboards@v1.0

Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create production-ready Grafana dashboards with reusable panels, template variables, annotations, and provisioning for version-controlled dashboard deployment. Use when creating visual representations of Prometheus, Loki, or other data source metrics, building operational dashboards for SRE teams, migrating from manual dashboard creation to version-controlled provisioning, or establishing executive-level SLO compliance reporting.

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

# Build Grafana Dashboards

Design and deploy Grafana dashboards with best practices for maintainability, reusability, and version control.

## When to Use

- Creating visual representations of Prometheus, Loki, or other data source metrics
- Building operational dashboards for SRE teams and incident responders
- Establishing executive-level reporting dashboards for SLO compliance
- Migrating dashboards from manual creation to version-controlled provisioning
- Standardizing dashboard layouts across teams with template variables
- Creating drill-down experiences from high-level overviews to detailed metrics

## Inputs

- **Required**: Data source configuration (Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, etc.)
- **Required**: Metrics or logs to visualize with their query patterns
- **Optional**: Template variables for multi-service or multi-environment views
- **Optional**: Existing dashboard JSON for migration or modification
- **Optional**: Annotation queries for event correlation (deployments, incidents)

## Procedure

> See [Extended Examples](references/EXAMPLES.md) for complete configuration files and templates.

### Step 1: Design Dashboard Structure

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/build-grafana-dashboards@sha256:a7c0ea6108de44b4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
