What is Build Transparency Dashboard?
This skill enables developers to build in public by creating a bridge between private development work and public-facing transparency. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, you can display real-time metrics such as commit counts, last commit messages, and project milestones on a static site without ever exposing your private source code. It includes everything from a polished HTML template to the backend logic required for automated updates.
The transparency dashboard serves as a trust-building tool for founders and teams. It automates the extraction of git metadata and pushes it to a public repository, ensuring your community always sees the latest shipping activity. Whether you are running a startup or a solo project, this skill provides a professional /build page that keeps stakeholders engaged and informed about your progress.
Build Transparency Dashboard Use Cases
- Showcase real-time shipping activity to your community without exposing private source code.
- Create a dedicated /build page to document project progress and milestones for stakeholders.
- Implement a community ideas board to gather and display user feedback and feature requests.
- Automate project status updates across multiple repositories to maintain a unified development log.
How Build Transparency Dashboard Works
- A GitHub Action is triggered in your private repository upon every git push event.
- The update-status.js script runs within the CI environment to extract commit logs, counts, and project metadata.
- The script generates a centralized status.json file containing the latest project statistics.
- The workflow commits and pushes this status file to a separate public site repository.
- Your public static site fetches the updated status.json every 60 seconds and dynamically renders the live stats for users.
Build Transparency Dashboard Setup
- Customize the variables in
assets/build.html, including your project name, start date, and brand colors. - Configure the site repository details in
assets/github-actions.yml. - Add a Personal Access Token (
GH_PAT) to your private repository secrets withreposcope to allow the bot to push updates. - Deploy the static files to your preferred hosting provider (Fly.io, Netlify, or Vercel).
- Copy the workflow template to your private repository:
cp assets/github-actions.yml .github/workflows/update-build-status.yml
