Dashboard tour
The dashboard is the home base after you sign in. It answers three questions, in order of urgency:
- Is anything waiting for me right now? — Escalation banners + approval queue at the top.
- What did my team do today? — Daily summary line + activity feed.
- 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.
