When team members request new analytics views, writing dashboard definitions by hand can be tedious. This workflow receives visualization requirements, inspects database schemas, drafts declarative dashboard files, and validates them via command-line tooling before opening a pull request.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Analyze user requests for new charts and dashboards. Query the database schema to verify table structures and metric definitions. Generate or update declarative dashboard specification files using the appropriate templates. Run the local CLI linter in the terminal to validate queries and layout configurations. Once tests pass, prepare a git branch and pull request, but ask for user approval before pushing branches or creating pull requests.
