Claude Code built most of a polished admin dashboard

Limns Admin is a responsive admin dashboard built mostly with Claude Code. It is a front-end showcase, not a real production app, so it uses mock data instead of a live backend. The stack is Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, and Bun.

The interface follows Vercel's Geist and supports both light and dark modes. Charts are built with the bklit library, including area, bar, donut, funnel, radar, gauge, sankey, choropleth, and other chart types. Claude Code turned the Geist design rules into a Tailwind CSS v4 theme token setup, created the App Router structure, built the sidebar and top breadcrumb shell, connected chart wrappers to mock data, and handled polish such as motion timing, focus rings, contrast, and interface copy.

The human work was mainly review, direction, and feedback.
