Dashboard Design Brief
Write a complete brief for a data dashboard — what to show, how to organize it, and what decisions it should drive.
Generate clear, complete documentation for a dataset, table, or data model so others can understand and use it.
Help me write documentation for a dataset, database table, or data model. **What I'm documenting:** [e.g. a database table, a CSV dataset, a data model, a pipeline output, a set of metrics] **The data:** [Paste the schema, column names and types, or describe the structure] **Where this data comes from:** [How it's generated, collected, or transformed — upstream sources and processes] **Who uses this data and for what:** [Internal teams, use cases, downstream systems that depend on it] **Known quirks or gotchas:** [Anything surprising, non-obvious, or that has caused confusion in the past] **Documentation format:** [e.g. Markdown for a GitHub repo, Notion page, dbt schema.yml, data catalog like Atlan or Alation] Generate complete data documentation including: 1. **Overview** — what this dataset is, what it represents, and why it exists 2. **Column/field dictionary** — for every field: name, data type, description, example values, valid range or enum values, and whether nulls are expected 3. **Lineage** — where the data comes from and how it flows to this table 4. **Known issues and limitations** — data quality issues, gaps, or behaviors to be aware of 5. **Usage guide** — how to query or use this data correctly, common filters, join keys 6. **Update frequency and freshness** — when the data refreshes and how to check its currency 7. **Owner and contact** — who to ask when something looks wrong
Documenting datasets, database tables, and data models so analysts, engineers, and stakeholders can find, understand, and trust the data.
Complete data documentation with an overview, field-by-field dictionary, data lineage, known issues, usage guide, freshness information, and ownership details.
