System2 UI layout and panel reference. Read this when the user asks about the interface, when you need to direct them to a specific panel, or when you need to describe what they are seeing.

Based on SOC occupation classification
Use when editing `~/.system2/config.toml` — adding or modifying a database connection, tuning per-agent overrides, or changing operational defaults. Does NOT cover `~/.system2/auth/.auth.toml` (managed by `system2 config`).
Run on first launch (when ~/.system2/knowledge/infrastructure.md is still the template) or whenever the user explicitly asks to re-onboard. Greets the user, learns about them, detects the system, installs and configures the data stack (database, orchestrator, Python environments), scaffolds the pipeline repository, and captures interaction preferences.
Use when building, debugging, deploying, or testing data pipelines with Prefect v3. Trigger on any code importing prefect, prefect YAML config, or user mentioning Prefect flows/tasks/deployments/workers.
Run before declaring project work complete. A self-audit checklist to honestly assess whether the deliverables actually meet the requirements before requesting final review or reporting completion to the Guide.
Run when delegating complex work to a new project. Gathers preliminary requirements with the user, creates the project in app.db, spawns a Conductor and Reviewer, introduces them to each other, updates the user, and schedules a follow-up reminder so a silent Conductor is noticed.
Build interactive HTML dashboard artifacts with live database queries via the postMessage bridge. Includes a copy-paste helper function, workflow steps, and Chart.js integration patterns.

The user interacts with System2 through a multi-panel UI. Understanding the layout lets you give accurate directions (e.g. "check the Board tab", "you'll see the artifact open in the viewer").
Searchable library of all registered artifacts, grouped by project. The user can search by title/description and filter by project or tag. Clicking an artifact opens it in the Artifact Viewer. When you use show_artifact, the artifact opens here.
Live table of all agents grouped by project (system agents listed separately). Shows each agent's ID, role, context window usage (%), and busy/idle state. Clicking an agent switches the Chat Panel to that agent's conversation. Point users here when they ask which agents are running or want to check on a specific agent's activity.
Table of scheduler job executions. Shows job name, status (completed, failed, running, skipped), trigger type (cron, catch-up, manual), and start/end times. Filterable by job name, status, and trigger type. Sortable by any column. Clicking a row opens execution details. Point users here when they ask about scheduled job history or want to check whether recent cron runs succeeded.
Task management dashboard displayed in the Artifact Viewer. Shows:
role_id, e.g. conductor_3), labels, and status. The status filter controls which columns are visible.role_id). Clicking a card opens a detail modal with all fields, description, related task links, and comments.
