5 prompts to build a dashboard that runs your whole business
TL;DR
These five prompts build a personal dashboard for your business: goal progress bar, key numbers, a metric chart, a focus mode, and a weekly list that celebrates when it's done. About 8 to 11 minutes of pasting; under half an hour end to end.
Copy each prompt, fill in the [brackets] with your real numbers, and paste them into Claude Code in order. Prompt 5 makes updating it as easy as telling Claude your new numbers in plain English.
Build the dashboard with your real numbers
Build me a personal dashboard page for [your business or side project]. Sections: my goal for this [month/quarter] with my progress toward it shown as a bar, my key numbers [list 2-4: followers, revenue, subscribers, clients], and what I'm working on this week. Dark theme, big numbers, looks like something a founder checks every morning. Use my real numbers: [paste them]. Save it as dashboard.html, open it in my browser, and reopen it after every change.Chart the one metric you care most about
Add a section that tracks [the one metric you care most about] over time as a chart. Start it with what I know so far: [rough numbers by month]. Keep all my numbers in one obvious place in the file.Add a focus mode
Now add a focus mode: one button that hides everything except my most important unfinished task in giant text.Make the weekly list check itself off
Make my 'this week' list real: each priority gets a checkbox that remembers itself. When everything's checked, the panel should celebrate a little.Update it in plain English, forever
Make updating this effortless. Set it up so I can just tell you 'update my dashboard: [new numbers]' in plain English and you handle the file, permanently, in every future session. Prove it: update [one number] right now and reload the page so I see it change.Common questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Claude Code writes the whole dashboard.html file and opens it in your browser. You describe your business and paste your numbers.
Where do I paste these?
Into Claude Code, in a folder made for this. The dashboard is a real file on your computer that Claude creates, opens, and updates — that needs Claude Code, not the web chat.
Does it connect to my accounts to pull numbers?
No connections. You paste your real numbers in and update them by telling Claude in plain English — prompt 5 makes that update flow permanent, so a refresh takes one sentence.
