Build an Analytics Dashboard
Use this skill when the user wants a multi-section Dive-backed dashboard with a clear analytical story, not just a single chart.
This is a use-case skill. It orchestrates explore, query, create-dive, and duckdb-sql.
Start Here: Is a MotherDuck Server Active?
Always determine this before designing the dashboard.
- If a remote MotherDuck MCP server or local MotherDuck server is active, use it.
- If the target database is unclear, ask which database or workspace the dashboard should run against.
- Explore the live data model before choosing the dashboard structure:
- available tables and views
- business grain
- key metrics
- key dimensions
- date columns
- likely joins

Design a MotherDuck-backed customer-facing analytics app. Use when building embedded or product analytics for external users and the decision depends on per-customer isolation, backend routing, service-account boundaries, read scaling, or Hypertenancy-style patterns.
55motherduck-build-data-pipeline
Design an end-to-end MotherDuck pipeline. Use when choosing raw, staging, and analytics boundaries, bulk ingestion paths, transformation sequencing, publication targets, or whether DuckLake is actually required.
55motherduck-ducklake
Decide when DuckLake is the right MotherDuck storage pattern. Use when evaluating fully managed DuckLake, BYOB, own-compute DuckLake access, data inlining, object-storage layout, or file-aware maintenance instead of native MotherDuck storage.
55motherduck-create-dive
Create, edit, manage, share, or embed MotherDuck Dives. Use when the work involves Dive authoring, live React + SQL components, MCP get_dive_guide, useSQLQuery, local preview, version history, Dives-as-code, required resources, team sharing, or embedded Dive sessions.
