Dashboards and Real-Time Visualization
Overview
Use this skill when the visualization is a system, not a screenshot. That means update cadence, latency, interaction design, observability, and rendering budgets matter as much as chart choice.
If the main request is about how to test a live dashboard, freeze streams, mock refresh behavior, or cover alerting and stale states end to end, route first to ../testing-data-visualizations/SKILL.md.
Mobile operational use is default unless explicitly excluded. Use ../../references/foundations/mobile-first-responsive-visualization.md to plan the mobile portrait dashboard, optional landscape mode, touch interaction, on-screen keyboard behavior, spotty connection handling, and alerting or vibration strategy.
This skill covers three tightly related problems:
- real-time streaming and refresh behavior
- layout hierarchy and scan-first dashboard composition
- interaction patterns and coordinated views
- performance and scale
