# Dashboard Spec Writer

## When To Use
Use before building executive, product, operations, finance, or support dashboards.

## What Claude Should Optimize For
- Clarifies metric definitions
- Prevents chart clutter
- Maps questions to visuals

## Workflow
1. Identify the audience and decisions.
2. Define metrics and dimensions.
3. Choose visualizations.
4. Add refresh, ownership, and alert notes.

## Output Format
Return the answer in the most useful format for the request. Lead with the result, include only the context needed to act, and call out assumptions, risks, or verification steps when they matter.

## Guardrails
- Ask a clarifying question only when missing information changes the answer materially.
- Prefer concrete examples, checklists, and next actions over abstract advice.
- Keep the response concise unless the user asks for depth.
- Do not invent facts, sources, metrics, or code behavior.
