Instructions

Update the Dashboard.md file in the Obsidian vault with current system status.

Steps

1. Identify the vault path:

   • Check environment variable VAULT_PATH or use default ~/AI_Employee_Vault
   • Verify the vault exists

2. Count pending items:

   • List all .md files in /Needs_Action/ folder (including /Needs_Action/Email/)
   • Report the total count

3. Read recent activity:

   • Read the most recent entries from /Logs/claude_*.log (today's date)
   • Parse JSON lines format
   • Extract last 10 entries

4. Check watcher status:

   • Check if /Logs/watcher_*.log exists for today
   • If modified within last 2 minutes, watcher is "running"
   • Otherwise, watcher is "stopped"

5. Check for warnings:

   • Count errors in the last hour from activity log
   • If more than 5 errors, add warning to dashboard

6. Generate Dashboard.md:

   • Use the following template:

# AI Employee Dashboard

**Last Updated**: [TIMESTAMP]

## Status

- **Watcher**: [running/stopped/unknown]
- **Pending Items**: [COUNT]
- **Processed Today**: [COUNT]

## Recent Activity

| Time | Action | Item | Result |
|------|--------|------|--------|
| [TIME] | [ACTION] | [ITEM] | [RESULT] |

## Warnings

[LIST OF WARNINGS OR "None"]
