Dash Cog - Interactive Dashboards & Apps Powered by SkillBoss API Hub
Build interactive dashboards, data visualizations, and web apps with AI.
Prerequisites
This skill uses the SkillBoss API Hub (/v1/pilot) for all AI-powered dashboard and app generation.
pip install requests
Set your environment variable:
export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=your_key_here
Quick pattern:
import requests, os
SKILLBOSS_API_KEY = os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]
def generate_dashboard(prompt: str, complex_app: bool = False) -> str:
"""Generate a complete self-contained interactive HTML app via SkillBoss API Hub."""
system_prompt = (
"You are an expert frontend developer. Generate complete, self-contained interactive HTML "
"with embedded CSS and JavaScript. Use Chart.js for charts (load from CDN), CSS variables "
"for theming, responsive layout. No external dependencies beyond CDN links. "
"Output only the full HTML code, no explanation."
)
if complex_app:
system_prompt += (

Dashboard Features
SkillBoss API Hub generated dashboards can include:
| Feature | Description |
|---|
| Interactive Charts | Line, bar, pie, scatter, area, heatmaps, treemaps, and more |
| Filters | Date ranges, dropdowns, search, multi-select |
| KPI Cards | Key metrics with trends and comparisons |
| Data Tables | Sortable, searchable, paginated tables |
| Drill-Down | Click to explore deeper levels of data |
| Responsive Design | Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile |
| Dark/Light Themes | Automatic theme support |
Data Sources
You can provide data via:
- Inline data in prompt: Small datasets described directly
- File upload: CSV, JSON, Excel files via SHOW_FILE
- Sample/mock data: "Generate realistic sample data for a SaaS company"
Mode Selection for Dashboards
Choose based on complexity:
| Scenario | Recommended Mode |
|---|
| Standard dashboards, KPI trackers, data visualizations, charts | generate_dashboard(prompt) |
| Complex interactive apps, games, novel data explorers | generate_dashboard(prompt, complex_app=True) |
Default to standard mode for most dashboard requests. SkillBoss API Hub's quality LLM routing handles charts, tables, filters, and interactivity efficiently.
Reserve complex_app=True for truly complex applications requiring significant design thinking—like building a novel game mechanic or a highly customized analytical tool with multiple interconnected features.
Example Dashboard Prompts
Sales analytics dashboard:
html_code = generate_dashboard(
"""Create an interactive sales analytics dashboard with:
- KPI cards: Total Revenue, Orders, Average Order Value, Growth Rate
- Line chart: Monthly revenue trend (last 12 months)
- Bar chart: Revenue by product category
- Pie chart: Sales by region
- Data table: Top 10 products by revenue
Include date range filter. Use this data: [upload CSV or describe data]
Modern, professional design with blue color scheme."""
)

html_code = generate_dashboard(
"""Build a SaaS metrics dashboard for a startup showing:
- MRR and growth rate
- Customer acquisition funnel (visitors → signups → trials → paid)
- Churn rate trend
- LTV:CAC ratio
- Revenue by plan tier

html_code = generate_dashboard(
"""Create an interactive explorer for this employee dataset [upload CSV]. Include:
- Searchable, sortable data table
- Filters for department, location, tenure
- Charts: headcount by department, salary distribution, tenure histogram

Simple game:
html_code = generate_dashboard(
"""Create a Wordle-style word guessing game. 5-letter words, 6 attempts, color feedback

Include keyboard, game statistics, and share results feature. Clean, modern design.""",
complex_app=True
)
Tips for Better Dashboards
-
Prioritize key metrics: Don't cram everything. Lead with the 3-5 most important KPIs.
-
Describe the data: What columns exist? What do they mean? What time period?
-
Specify chart types: "Line chart for trends, bar chart for comparisons, pie for composition."
-
Include interactivity: "Filter by date range", "Click to drill down", "Hover for details."
-
Design direction: "Modern minimal", "Corporate professional", "Playful and colorful", specific color schemes.
-
Responsive needs: "Desktop only" vs "Must work on mobile."
