Skills

1 SKILL.md file ship with this plugin. Preview, copy, or download each one, then install them with the Skills CLI.

skills-cli

grafana-style-guide
skills/grafana-style-guide/SKILL.md
Use before building, generating, or reviewing a Grafana panel or dashboard. Starter style guide covering panel-level rules (units, legends, thresholds, titles, descriptions — timeseries-focused) and dashboard-level rules (row sequencing, drill-down chaining, repeating-panel caps, named anti-patterns). Modeled on the kubernetes-mixin / monitoring-mixins corpus, Grafana Labs' Mimir / Loki / Tempo reference dashboards, and the canonical observability dashboard literature (Shneiderman 1996, Stephen Few, the SRE Workbook). Copy into your skills / rules directory and edit for your team; mcp-grafana ships it as a starter, not a managed default.
