Dashboard
Visual web dashboard for any project managed by ai-engineering-harness. Dark theme, zero dependencies.
Trigger
Keywords: show dashboard, project health, evidence completeness, kanban, chaos score, quick scan, vibe signs, takeover audit, what's wrong with this repo.
Run
# First time (scaffold into project):
bash workflows/00-bootstrap.md # creates .dashboard/ + scripts/dashboard.sh
# Every time:
bash scripts/dashboard.sh # starts parser + opens :4321
Or from the main skill: Coordinator auto-starts dashboard before each workflow phase (see §10 in parent SKILL.md).
Taking over an existing repo
When you bootstrap onto a repo that already has code, run Quick Scan without
being asked and name the vibe residue out loud — specific categories and
the worst location, not just a grade. See workflows/00-bootstrap.md §"Taking
over an existing repo".
curl -s http://localhost:4321/api/quick-scan # scan
bash scripts/scan-to-issues.sh # dry-run Issue drafts
bash scripts/scan-to-issues.sh --create # file them (ask first)
Architecture
Zero external deps: Node.js http + fs + path (parser.js) + single self-contained HTML (dashboard.html).
| Component | File | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Parser + Server | templates/parser.js |
Scans project, serves JSON API |
| Dashboard UI | templates/dashboard.html |
Single HTML file, 5 views |
| Wrapper | scripts/dashboard.sh |
Starts server + opens browser |
| Scan → Issues | scripts/scan-to-issues.sh |
Groups findings into gh Issues (dry run by default) |
