+# KPI Dashboard Design
+
+Comprehensive patterns for designing effective Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboards that drive business decisions.
+
+## Do not use this skill when
+
+- The task is unrelated to kpi dashboard design
+- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
+
+## Instructions
+
+- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
+- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
+- Provide actionable steps and verification.
+- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
+
+## Use this skill when
+
+- Designing executive dashboards
+- Selecting meaningful KPIs
+- Building real-time monitoring displays
+- Creating department-specific metrics views
+- Improving existing dashboard layouts
+- Establishing metric governance
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### 1. KPI Framework
+
+| Level           | Focus            | Update Frequency  | Audience   |
+| --------------- | ---------------- | ----------------- | ---------- |
+| **Strategic**   | Long-term goals  | Monthly/Quarterly | Executives |
+| **Tactical**    | Department goals | Weekly/Monthly    | Managers   |
+| **Operational** | Day-to-day       | Real-time/Daily   | Teams      |
+
+### 2. SMART KPIs
+
+```
+Specific: Clear definition
+Measurable: Quantifiable
+Achievable: Realistic targets
+Relevant: Aligned to goals
+Time-bound: Defined period
+```
+
+### 3. Dashboard Hierarchy
+
+```

+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Do's
+
+- **Limit to 5-7 KPIs** - Focus on what matters
+- **Show context** - Comparisons, trends, targets
+- **Use consistent colors** - Red=bad, green=good
+- **Enable drilldown** - From summary to detail
+- **Update appropriately** - Match metric frequency
+
+### Don'ts
+
+- **Don't show vanity metrics** - Focus on actionable data
+- **Don't overcrowd** - White space aids comprehension
+- **Don't use 3D charts** - They distort perception
+- **Don't hide methodology** - Document calculations
+- **Don't ignore mobile** - Ensure responsive design

+## OpenGitOps Principles (CNCF)
+1. **Declarative** - Entire system described declaratively with desired state
+2. **Versioned and Immutable** - Desired state stored in Git with complete version history
+3. **Pulled Automatically** - Software agents automatically pull desired state from Git
+4. **Continuously Reconciled** - Agents continuously observe and reconcile actual vs desired state
+
+## Behavioral Traits
