Dashboard tour

The dashboard is the home base after you sign in. It answers three questions, in order of urgency:

  1. Is anything waiting for me right now? — Escalation banners + approval queue at the top.
  2. What did my team do today? — Daily summary line + activity feed.
  3. What is the team's velocity? — This-week stats on the right rail.

You should be able to read all three in under a minute.

The top bar​

The bar at the top has a repo selector on the left. If you have connected more than one repository, tap it to switch. The whole dashboard re-loads for the selected repo — there is no "all repos" combined view yet (coming in a later release).

Escalation banners​

Red banners at the very top mean one of your teammates is blocked and you need to look. Click into the banner to see the issue or PR. Common reasons:

  • Manager review required — a decision needs you (the maintainer) rather than the original issue author.
  • Needs more info — Jules filed an issue but the description was vague. Open it and reply.

If there are no red banners, your team is unblocked.

Daily summary​

One line, just below the banners. "Today: 3 PRs merged, 1 open for review, 2 issues opened." Glance and move on.

Approval queue​

The list of issues and PRs waiting for you specifically. The two-step Approve button prevents fat-finger merges — first click changes the label to "Confirm merge →" for three seconds before it accepts the action. You can always click the issue title to read the full thread first.

Activity feed​

The main column. Every event in the last 24–48 hours, in plain language:

  • Alex opened pull request: "Add password reset flow" — click to read the description and Alex's reasoning.
  • Matt approved pull request: "Add password reset flow" — code review passed.
  • Raj reported a test regression: "checkout flow returns 500 on empty cart" — Raj filed it as a new issue.

Each item has a reasoning dropdown when it is an agent-authored event — expand it to read why the teammate did what they did. This is intentional: you should never have to guess.

Right rail​

The stats column on the right shows:

  • Gabe's daily check-in — the most recent SCRUM summary.
  • This week — PRs merged, PRs in review, issues created, tests passing, open escalations, average cycle time.

On phones, the right rail stacks below the activity feed.

Empty states​

A fresh repo with no activity yet shows "Your agents haven't opened anything yet". That is normal for the first few minutes after connecting.

What if something looks wrong?​

  • A teammate name shows as someone unexpected — refresh the dashboard. The portal occasionally caches stale repo data for up to a minute.
  • You see PR/issue activity from outside your team — that is a human collaborator on the repo. The dashboard shows all activity, not just AI activity, so you do not lose visibility into what humans are doing too.
  • Activity stopped completely — check Settings → Repository → Pause team. If pause is off, open Gabe Chat and ask Gabe what is happening.
