Show HN: DAC – open-source dashboard as code tool for agents and humans

· databases ai ai-agents · Source ↗

TLDR

  • DAC is an open-source dashboard-as-code tool letting you define interactive dashboards in YAML or TSX with a built-in semantic layer and AI agent support.

Key Takeaways

  • Supports YAML and TSX authoring; TSX enables loops, conditionals, and load-time query-driven layouts.
  • Built-in semantic layer in semantic/ lets you define metrics and dimensions once; DAC compiles SQL per widget.
  • Connects to Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks via Bruin CLI for query execution.
  • Ships Claude and Codex skill files (SKILL.md) on dac init so agents can author dashboards with reviewable, structured output.
  • AGPL-3.0 licensed; telemetry is opt-out via DO_NOT_TRACK=1 and excludes queries, credentials, and dashboard contents.
