Verdict forced to setup: SKILL.md points to ../../CONNECTORS.md, two directories above the skill folder, for its 'which tools are connected' placeholders — a file that doesn't exist once you copy only the skill folder as the card's own install command instructs. It also claims 'no server or dependencies required' while its own base HTML template loads Chart.js from a CDN. (Listed here under our older name; the skill's own name is "Build Interactive Dashboards".)

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Build Interactive Dashboards does

Builds an interactive, browser-openable HTML dashboard with KPI cards, Chart.js charts, dropdown/date filters, and a sortable table, embedding all data as JSON in one file; works from pasted data, a CSV, or generated sample data if none is given. Frontmatter name is 'build-dashboard' (the old card called it 'dashboard-builder'). It references a ../../CONNECTORS.md that lives at the plugin-category level (anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/data/CONNECTORS.md), outside this skill's own folder — copying just this folder per the card's own install instructions drops that file, though the skill still functions via its pasted-data/sample-data fallback.
