How to use the Social Media Matrix Tracker agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
Social Media Matrix Tracker is an agent skill, a set of instructions that teaches an AI agent how to build a specific kind of page. This one describes a data-dense, visual dashboard for comparing social media performance across several platforms. This guide explains what the skill makes the agent produce, how to install and trigger it, and where its limits are, so you can decide whether it fits a mockup or a real reporting task.
Quick start
- 1Download the ZIP. Get the social-media-matrix skill ZIP from this page and unzip it on your computer.
- 2Place the folder. Move the social-media-matrix folder into ~/.claude/skills/ for all projects, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder for one project.
- 3Or upload it in the app. In the Claude apps, open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the skill.
- 4Ask for a dashboard. Describe the multi-platform social dashboard you want, naming platforms, metrics and features such as hover charts or a dark theme.
- 5Review the layout. Check the header, KPI matrix, charts, insights drawer and top posts grid against your needs.
- 6Replace sample data. Before sharing, swap seed placeholder values for your own verified figures in a separate step.
What the skill makes the agent build
The skill is a design template. It tells the agent to lay out a single long desktop page for tracking social media performance across platforms. Its stated intent is a cinematic, data-dense multi-platform dashboard.
The layout has five parts: a hero header with a unified brand, a time window and a theme switch; a KPI matrix with platforms across the top and metrics down the side; interactive charts with hover tooltips and range comparison; an insights drawer on the right with written observations; and a grid of top posts.
- Hero header with brand, time window and dark/light theme switch
- Multi-platform KPI matrix (platform by metric)
- Interactive charts with hover tooltips and date range comparison
- Right-side insights drawer with text insights
- Top posts grid
- Design note: dark and light themes, with seed data used as a fallback
Install the Social Media Matrix skill
Option 1 (folder install): download the skill ZIP from this page and unzip it. Put the social-media-matrix folder in ~/.claude/skills/ to make it available for all your projects, or in a project's .claude/skills/ folder to limit it to that project. The package contains a single file, SKILL.md.
Option 2 (app upload): in the Claude apps, open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the skill from there.
- Folder location for all projects: ~/.claude/skills/
- Folder location for one project: .claude/skills/ inside the project
- Included file: SKILL.md
~/.claude/skills/social-media-matrix/SKILL.mdTrigger the skill with natural requests
You do not need a special command. Describe the kind of page you want, and mention the social dashboard, multi-platform layout or matrix so the agent connects your request to this skill. The skill's description covers multi-platform social analysis, hover insights, range comparison and light/dark themes, so requests using those ideas are the most likely to match.
Good requests name the platforms, the metrics and the features you want. Ask for placeholder data explicitly if you are making a mockup.
- "Design a social media matrix dashboard for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube with a dark theme."
- "Build a multi-platform social KPI page with hover tooltips and a range comparison, using sample data."
- "Lay out a top posts grid and an insights drawer for my creator channels."
Know what the skill needs and what it does not do
The skill lists no requirements. It does not run scripts and does not use the network. It is a single instruction file, so it cannot connect to social platform accounts or APIs, and it does not pull in real metrics.
Its design notes say the data should fall back to seed data when real numbers are missing. Seed data is placeholder content. The numbers can look like real results while being invented, so do not use a page built from this skill to report performance.
- Requirements: none listed
- Runs scripts: no
- Uses network: no
- Data connections: none; the file only describes layout and design
- Fallback data: seed (placeholder) values
Tips for getting a useful mockup
Use the skill for the visual shell: layout, hierarchy, theme and interaction patterns. Then replace the placeholder values with your own figures in a separate step, and check every number before sharing it.
Label the page clearly as a mockup while it still uses seed data, so no one mistakes it for a live report.
- Start with a layout review rather than a finished report
- Ask for a dark and a light version to compare
- Mark all seed values as sample data before sharing screenshots
- Keep the data source as a separate, documented step
What people use it for
- Pitching a social reporting page to a client before connecting any data
- Prototyping a dark and light analytics layout for a creator's channels
- Showing a team how a multi-platform KPI matrix and insights drawer could be arranged
- Designing hover tooltips and date range comparison for a social dashboard concept
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Social Media Matrix Tracker skill?
Download the skill ZIP from this page and unzip it. Place the social-media-matrix folder in ~/.claude/skills/ for all projects or in a project's .claude/skills/ folder for one project. You can also upload it in the Claude apps under Settings, Capabilities, then Skills.
Does this skill connect to Instagram, TikTok or YouTube accounts?
No. The skill is a single SKILL.md file that describes layout and design. It does not use the network, run scripts or connect to social APIs, so it cannot pull real account metrics.
Does the skill need any requirements or extra software?
The skill lists no requirements. It runs no scripts and uses no network access.
Is the Social Media Matrix Tracker skill free to use?
The source is licensed under Apache-2.0. Check the license file in the repository for the full terms before reuse. This page does not state pricing.
Why does my dashboard show numbers I did not enter?
The template says sample (seed) data fills in when real numbers are missing. Those values are placeholders and can look like real results, so replace them with verified figures before using the page.
What are the alternatives if I need real social analytics?
This skill only designs the page. For live data you need a tool that connects to platform accounts or APIs. This skill does not provide that connection, so pair it with a separate data source if you need accurate reporting.

Our verdict
Use this skill if you want a polished, interactive layout for a multi-platform social dashboard, whether for a creator's overview, a design prototype or a client mockup before real data is available. Do not use it for accurate reporting, because it has no data connections and falls back to placeholder numbers that can look real.
