The prompt

This is the "Budget Pace" template from Widget Index. Keep it a Budget Pace panel, titled "Budget Pace" unless I ask for a different name. Before you build it, ask me only about the parts marked [ask me], one short question at a time, in plain words that fit a Budget Pace panel, with two or three concrete options each time. Skip anything you can work out yourself or that has an obvious default. Then build it.

Build me a panel on my Home called "Budget Pace".

What it shows: one sentence with the headline (like "$1,240 of $2,000 spent with 12 days left."), then how much [ask me: what i'm spending] I've used this [ask me: period] against my limit of [ask me: limit], how much of the [ask me: period] has gone by, and a running total line. On pace means the share used is no more than the share of the [ask me: period] gone.

Where the data lives: [ask me: where the data lives]. Read it, never change it. If you can't reach it, ask me to connect or sign in.

Look: make the face of the panel the design, not a list of numbers. One progress ring as the hero, filled to the current percent, with the main number in the center and a small tick on the ring marking where I should be by today. Under the visual, one short insight line that tells me what matters right now (like "Slightly ahead of pace"), with a dot colored by urgency: green fine, gold needs attention, red act now. Dark background, gold #DEAB42 accent, small title. One visual and one insight on the face; any extra detail goes below it, never on top.

Rhythm: refresh daily. Re-check the source each time and keep only current values; never invent one.
Use: glance; button asks Hark where I'm going over.
