Dashboard

Show the current state of the Strata vault, scope counts, recent activity, drifted notes, stale ADRs, hot files, ADR↔commit linkage, suggested actions. Auto-invokable when the user says "show me the dashboard", "vault state", "what does strata see right now", "what's in the vault", or "give me a summary". Emits the same markdown that lives at `<vault>/<repo>/INDEX.md` (auto-regenerated on every write). No web server, no port, the dashboard IS a synced markdown file.From its SKILL.md

strata:dashboard

A single-page snapshot of vault state. Same content lives in INDEX.md (renders natively in Obsidian) and gets emitted into the conversation when you invoke this skill.

How

Two paths depending on freshness needs:

Quick (read what's on disk)

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/run-python.sh" -c "
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts')
from lib import memory_dir
print((memory_dir() / 'INDEX.md').read_text())
"

Use when you trust the cached state (it was regenerated on the last Write). 95% of cases.

Fresh (regenerate first)

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/strata" dashboard

dashboard.py rebuilds the content from live data (db, code_graph, commit_graph) without writing INDEX.md. Slightly slower.

What you'll see

Section	Source	What it tells you
Scope counts	Filesystem	Episodic / semantic / procedural sizes
Recent activity	mtime, last 7d	What's been written or updated
Stale-proposed ADRs	`db.stale_decisions`	ADRs in `proposed` >14d — need closure
Drifted notes	`code_graph.find_drifted_notes`	Structural + temporal drift
Hot files	`commit_graph.hotspots`	Top-churn files last 90d
ADR implementations	`commit_graph.adr_implementations`	Which decisions became code
Active PR contexts	`pr-context/` subdirs	In-flight branches
Suggested actions	Composed from above	Concrete next steps

Why this is the dashboard

The vault is markdown on disk. Obsidian renders it. Sync clients Distribute it. Teammates see updates as files change. We don't need A web server. We don't run a port. The synced INDEX.md IS the Dashboard, open Obsidian, get the view.

Don't do

Don't try to render this as HTML / charts / images. The whole point is that markdown + the user's existing tools win.
Don't suggest installing a web UI. Open Obsidian on the vault instead, it has graph view, backlinks, search, all native.
Don't paste the full dashboard in a turn if the user asked something narrow ("how many decisions?"), answer narrowly, leave the dashboard for "show me the state."
