Overview
The Dashboard skill gives you a comprehensive view of the project's current state: available skills and agents, task metrics, blockers, and suggested next actions.
Invoke with /dashboard.
Step 1: Available Skills
Present all available skills, grouped by scope:
Project Skills (from @tasks/process/)
| Skill | Command | Purpose |
|---|
| Multi-File Changes | /multi-file-changes | Methodology for 3+ file changes, vendored code, cross-crate work |
| Task Runner | /task | Pick and start the next task from @tasks |
| Dashboard | /dashboard | This skill - orientation and project overview |
Global Skills (from ~/.claude/)
| Skill | Command | Purpose |
|---|
| Architect | /architect | Create architectural plans with alternatives analysis and edge cases |
| Feature Dev | /feature-dev | Guided feature development with codebase understanding |
| Find Skills | /find-skills | Discover and install new agent skills |
| Veo Video Generation | /veo-video-generation | Generate videos from images or text using Google Veo API |
To discover more installable skills, use /find-skills.
Step 2: Available Agents
Present all 5 project agents with their domains and assignment guidance:
| Agent | Domain | Assign When |
|---|
| svelte-developer | Svelte 5 UI, runes, Tauri IPC | Pages, components, stores, frontend IPC |
| rust-architect | Tauri commands, module design, async | Backend commands, module architecture, traits |
| testing-engineer | Vitest, Playwright, integration | Unit tests, E2E tests, test infrastructure |
| lexical-specialist | Lexical editor, custom nodes, Markdown | Editor plugins, custom nodes, transformers |
| writing-app-designer | Feature specs, UX, entity schemas | Specifications, UX flows, data models, file formats |
Agent definitions live in @tasks/agents/*.org. For the full assignment matrix, see Agent Registry: Assignment Matrix.
Step 3: Task Metrics
Query the PRD system for current metrics:
emacsclient -s sakya -e '(prd-dashboard-cli)'
Present the metrics clearly:
Overall Progress
Show totals from the dashboard JSON:
- Total tasks, complete, in-progress, blocked, pending
- Overall completion percentage
Progress by Category
For each category (PROJ-001 through PROJ-006, any BUG-, IMP-):
- Title, total items, completed items, progress bar/percentage
Agent Workload
From the agents section of the dashboard JSON:
- Tasks assigned vs completed per agent
- Which agents have the most pending work
Error Handling
If emacsclient is unavailable, fall back to direct file scanning:
- Read all
@tasks/{projects,bugfixes,improvements}/*.org files
- Count TODO keywords:
ITEM, DOING, REVIEW, DONE, BLOCKED
- Group counts by parent file
- Present manually-computed metrics
Step 4: Blocked Items
Query for blocked tasks:
emacsclient -s sakya -e '(prd-list-blocked)'
For each blocked item, show:
- The blocked item's ID and title
- What it's blocked by (dependency IDs and their current status)
- Whether the blocker is close to completion (DOING/REVIEW)
Highlight critical blockers: items that block many downstream tasks.
Step 5: Recent Completions
Query velocity data:
emacsclient -s sakya -e '(prd-velocity-report 7)'
Show:
- Tasks completed in the last 7 days
- Velocity trend (increasing, stable, decreasing)
- Which categories had the most activity
Step 6: Quick-Start Actions
Based on the current state, suggest contextual next actions:
If there are blocked items with resolvable blockers
Suggest: "Unblock ITEM-XXX by completing ITEM-YYY (currently DOING, agent: rust-architect)"
If there are high-priority pending items
Suggest: "Start on ITEM-XXX (Priority #A, effort: 1h) — use /task ITEM-XXX"
If a project is near completion
Suggest: "PROJ-XXX is 90% complete — 2 items remaining to finish"
If no tasks are available or all are blocked
Suggest: "All tasks are blocked or complete. Consider:"
- Creating new tasks for upcoming work
- Reviewing BLOCKED items for stale dependencies
- Running
/find-skills to discover new capabilities
General suggestions
- "Run
/task to pick your next task"
- "Run
emacsclient -s sakya -e '(prd-validate-all-cli)' to check for validation issues"
