spk-admin-dashboard

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

1. Prefer spec-kitty dashboard --open so lifecycle validation checks project, token, health, and daemon state before showing a URL.
2. If .kittify/.dashboard exists, treat it as diagnostic metadata only; do not show the URL until validation succeeds.
3. Use spec-kitty dashboard --json only for machine-readable mission rows.
4. Use spec-kitty dashboard --kill only when the user asks to stop it.
5. When presenting /spec-kitty.status in a text TUI, load spk-doctrine-show-me and follow its status rendering contract.

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.
