This skill enables Claude to create Application Performance Monitoring (APM) dashboards. It is triggered when the user requests the creation of a new APM dashboard, monitoring dashboard, or a dashboard for application performance. The skill helps define key metrics and visualizations for monitoring application health, performance, and user experience across multiple platforms like Grafana and Datadog. Use this skill when the user needs assistance setting up a new monitoring solution or expanding an existing one. The plugin supports the creation of dashboards focusing on golden signals, request metrics, resource utilization, database metrics, cache metrics, business metrics, and error tracking.

Overview
This skill automates the creation of Application Performance Monitoring (APM) dashboards, providing a structured approach to visualizing critical application metrics. By defining key performance indicators and generating dashboard configurations, this skill simplifies the process of monitoring application health and performance.
How It Works
- Identify Requirements: Determine the specific metrics and visualizations needed for the APM dashboard based on the user's request.
- Define Dashboard Components: Select relevant components such as golden signals (latency, traffic, errors, saturation), request metrics, resource utilization, database metrics, cache metrics, business metrics, and error tracking.
- Generate Configuration: Create the dashboard configuration file based on the selected components and user preferences.
- Deploy Dashboard: Deploy the generated configuration to the target monitoring platform (e.g., Grafana, Datadog).
When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when you need to:
- Create a new APM dashboard for an application.
- Define key metrics and visualizations for monitoring application performance.
- Generate dashboard configurations for Grafana, Datadog, or other monitoring platforms.
Examples
Example 1: Creating a Grafana Dashboard
User request: "Create a Grafana dashboard for monitoring my web application's performance."
The skill will:
- Identify the need for a Grafana dashboard focused on web application performance.
- Define dashboard components including request rate, response times, error rates, and resource utilization (CPU, memory).
- Generate a Grafana dashboard configuration file with pre-defined visualizations for these metrics.
Example 2: Setting up a Datadog Dashboard
User request: "Set up a Datadog dashboard to track the golden signals for my microservice."
The skill will:
- Identify the need for a Datadog dashboard focused on golden signals.
- Define dashboard components including latency, traffic, errors, and saturation metrics.
- Generate a Datadog dashboard configuration file with pre-defined visualizations for these metrics.
Best Practices
- Specificity: Provide detailed information about the application and metrics to be monitored.
- Platform Selection: Clearly specify the target monitoring platform (Grafana, Datadog, etc.) to ensure compatibility.
- Iteration: Review and refine the generated dashboard configuration to meet specific monitoring needs.
Integration
This skill can be integrated with other plugins that manage infrastructure or application deployment to automatically create APM dashboards as part of the deployment process. It can also work with alerting plugins to define alert rules based on the metrics displayed in the generated dashboards.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
This skill uses the test-doubles-generator plugin to automatically create mocks, stubs, spies, and fakes for unit testing. It analyzes dependencies in the code and generates appropriate test doubles based on the chosen testing framework, such as Jest, Sinon, or others. Use this skill when you need to generate test doubles, mocks, stubs, spies, or fakes to isolate units of code during testing. Trigger this skill by requesting test double generation or using the `/gen-doubles` or `/gd` command.

This skill enables Claude to generate realistic test data for software development. It uses the test-data-generator plugin to create users, products, orders, and custom schemas for comprehensive testing. Use this skill when you need to populate databases, simulate user behavior, or create fixtures for automated tests. Trigger phrases include "generate test data", "create fake users", "populate database", "generate product data", "create test orders", or "generate data based on schema". This skill is especially useful for populating testing environments or creating sample data for demonstrations.
