| name | spk-admin-dashboard |
| description | Open or report the Spec Kitty dashboard. Use for dashboard URL, localhost daemon metadata in .kittify/.dashboard, --open, --kill, or status views. |
spk-admin-dashboard
Open the dashboard directly or show the user its URL. Do not treat the
dashboard as a generic status abstraction.
Flow
- Prefer
spec-kitty dashboard --open so lifecycle validation checks project,
token, health, and daemon state before showing a URL.
- If
.kittify/.dashboard exists, treat it as diagnostic metadata only; do
not show the URL until validation succeeds.
- Use
spec-kitty dashboard --json only for machine-readable mission rows.
- Use
spec-kitty dashboard --kill only when the user asks to stop it.
Reference
Read references/dashboard-daemon.md before diagnosing dashboard metadata,
ports, tokens, or stale PID behavior.
Rule
The dashboard is a localhost daemon, not a cloud page. Prefer
spec-kitty dashboard --open over manually trusting recorded metadata.
