Build Admin Panel: An Agent Skill for Researching, Building, and Verifying Back-Office Panels

A complete, production-deployed admin panel for an events & ticketing platform, built end-to-end, including the backend API it needed, in a single engagement. Below is a look at the real, live product, followed by the reusable process behind it, packaged as an agent skill you can drop into any codebase.

What’s in the panel

A full back-office for running an events/ticketing platform: platform analytics, user management with role-based access, event moderation across every organizer, order/ticket/scan tracking, venue/artist/shop provider management, payouts and subscription plans, and content controls (legal pages, contact info, taxonomies), all secured behind admin-only authentication.

Screenshots

Sign-in: branded, admin-only authentication.

Dashboard: live platform stats (users, events, orders, revenue), a role breakdown, a 14-day orders/revenue trend, and recent activity feeds.

User management: search and filter every account on the platform, verify or block users, all role-aware.

Event moderation: every event across every organizer, with status, pricing, and venue at a glance.

Order tracking: every ticket order platform-wide, searchable by order number and filterable by payment status.

The process behind it

This panel was researched, designed, built, deployed, and verified against a live URL, not just handed over as code. That process is captured as a reusable methodology in skill/build-admin-panel/:

1. Research the target app: read the real backend schemas, guards, and response contracts (not just a route list) before designing anything.
2. Surface scope decisions up front: what’s in scope, how ownership and access work, how uploads are handled, all raised as explicit questions rather than silent assumptions.
3. Design a phased plan: backend admin API, then core (auth + dashboard), then one feature domain at a time.
4. Build phase by phase, checking types/builds on both sides as it goes.
5. Verify for real: drive an actual browser through login, every page, and a real write, not just “it compiles.”
6. Deploy: CI/CD reuse, CORS handled explicitly, and the account seeded and confirmed working against the live URL, exactly as shown above.

Same process, any stack: hand it a different app and it builds the same way.

Using the skill

The reusable methodology lives in skill/build-admin-panel/ as an Agent Skill. To use it with an agent, copy the build-admin-panel/ folder into your agent’s skills directory:
