build-board-pack

Skill builder. Finds your governed metrics and your existing deck structure, interviews whoever owns the leadership meeting, then generates a custom /board-pack skill that assembles the recurring board, exec or weekly business review pack from governed definitions only — numbers, movements and commentary in your house style. Use when the monthly pack takes ten days of analyst time, or when the meeting starts with "which number is right?"

build-dashboard-health

Skill builder. Maps your estate's lifecycle metadata and access paths, interviews whoever owns governance, then generates a custom /health-check skill that runs the ongoing dashboard lifecycle loop — detecting drift, proposing stage transitions (Draft / Verified / Drifted / Archived) and drafting owner notifications. Use after a clean-up, to stop the estate rotting back; /dashboard-triage is the one-off audit, this is the loop that keeps its result.

build-dashboard-triage

Skill builder. Inspects your BI estate metadata, interviews whoever owns governance, then generates a custom /dashboard-triage skill that issues KEEP / MIGRATE / ARCHIVE verdicts with evidence. Use when dashboard sprawl has made self-serve impossible, before a migration, or when nobody can say which of your 140+ dashboards actually matter.

Data & Documents Listed

build-data-brief

Skill builder. Maps how data requests reach your team today, interviews whoever triages them, then generates a custom /data-brief skill that turns a vague business request into a decision-shaped brief before any analyst touches it — the decision it serves, the deadline, the owner, the definitions involved. Use when requests arrive as "can you pull some numbers" and half the team's time goes to clarifying instead of answering.

AI & Automation Listed

build-dbt-model

Skill builder. Reads your existing dbt models to extract the company's actual best practices — naming, layering, tests, materialisations, SQL style — then interviews your team about the rules the code cannot show, and generates a custom /new-model skill that scaffolds dbt models indistinguishable from your best existing ones. Use when new models keep failing review for convention reasons, or when every analyst writes dbt in their own dialect.

build-fix-chart

Skill builder. Inspects your dbt and BI setup, interviews your team, then generates custom /fix-chart and /fix-explore skills calibrated to your stack. Use when analysts keep reporting broken charts, missing dimensions, or explores that return wrong numbers, and you want an AI workflow that diagnoses down to the dbt model instead of patching the BI layer.

build-knowledge-base

Skill builder. Inspects your dbt project, BI config and existing docs, interviews whoever answers analysts' questions all day, then generates a knowledge base structure plus a /write-doc skill that documents models, dashboards and metrics in your format and keeps the docs from going stale. Use when the same questions keep hitting the data team's Slack channel and the wiki answers none of them.

build-migrate-chart

Skill builder. Tool-agnostic: works for any BI-to-BI migration (Looker to Lightdash, Tableau to Power BI, Metabase to anything). Detects what it can from your repositories, asks which tools you are moving between and what access Claude Code has (MCP servers, APIs, exports), then generates a custom /migrate-chart skill built around your exact source, target and conventions. Use when analysts should migrate their own reports instead of queueing for the data team.

build-publish-check

Skill builder. Inspects your BI conventions and governance artefacts, interviews whoever answers for data quality, then generates a custom /publish-check skill — a gate every dashboard must pass before it counts as published. Use when your estate keeps regrowing after every clean-up, when dashboards ship without owners, or when self-serve is failing because nobody trusts what they find.

build-settle-the-number

Skill builder. Inspects your dbt models and semantic layer, interviews the people who argue about numbers, then generates a custom /settle-the-number skill that traces two conflicting figures to their root cause and explains it in language a CFO accepts. Use when board meetings stall on "which number is right?" and every month someone re-litigates the definition of revenue, active users, or margin.

build-support-triage

Skill builder. Maps your support channel, routing structure and escalation paths, then generates a custom /support-triage skill that acts as the first responder in your analytics support channel — classifying incoming questions, attempting first-line diagnosis, routing to the right owner and drafting the reply. Use when your data team's best people spend their days as a service desk, answering 10–30 messages a day.

AI & Automation Listed

build-training-programme

Skill builder. Inspects your repo to find real, safe practice material, interviews whoever owns analyst enablement, then generates a training programme built on your actual backlog — session plans, exercises from your own codebase, and a /coach skill analysts run to practise between sessions. Use when Claude Code adoption is stuck with one or two enthusiasts and everyone else watching.

northstar

The NorthStar Method as a skill. Drops a forward-deployed analytics consultant into your repo: lands without a brief, senses the environment, makes a plan, executes in visible loops, fixes root causes, documents everything, and hands over cleanly. Use for any analytics problem area — a broken reporting estate, a migration, a data team drowning in support tickets, or "we don't trust our numbers". Give it a problem area and it owns it end-to-end. Calls the Foundry sub-skills when the problem matches one.
