# Spec Kitty Admin Dashboard

Spec Kitty Admin Dashboard opens the Spec Kitty dashboard and reports daemon metadata, URL, and status. Use it to validate the project, token, and daemon health, or to stop the daemon when needed.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/Priivacy-ai/spec-kitty/tree/main/src/doctrine/skills/spk-admin-dashboard ~/.claude/skills/spk-admin-dashboard
```

## README

# spk-admin-dashboard

Open the dashboard directly or show the user its URL. Do not treat the
dashboard as a generic status abstraction.

## Flow

1. Prefer `spec-kitty dashboard --open` so lifecycle validation checks project,
   token, health, and daemon state before showing a URL.
2. If `.kittify/.dashboard` exists, treat it as diagnostic metadata only; do
   not show the URL until validation succeeds.
3. Use `spec-kitty dashboard --json` only for machine-readable mission rows.
4. Use `spec-kitty dashboard --kill` only when the user asks to stop it.
5. When presenting `/spec-kitty.status` in a text TUI, load
   `spk-doctrine-show-me` and follow its status rendering contract.

## Reference

Read `references/dashboard-daemon.md` before diagnosing dashboard metadata,
ports, tokens, or stale PID behavior.

## Rule

The dashboard is a localhost daemon, not a cloud page. Prefer
`spec-kitty dashboard --open` over manually trusting recorded metadata.
