Dashboard & Mission Control
The Dashboard is UnfoldAI's home screen — a real-time overview of everything happening in your workspace. It's designed to give you a complete picture at a glance.
Dashboard Sections
Health Status
The top of the Dashboard shows your workspace's current health:
- Healthy (green) — No active issues detected
- Warning (yellow) — Minor issues or potential concerns
- Error (red) — Active errors or critical issues requiring attention
Agent Activity
Shows which AI agents are currently active, what they're working on, and summary metrics like command count and file changes.
Activity Feed
A real-time timeline of events in your workspace:
- Commands started and completed (with exit codes)
- Files created, modified, or deleted
- Errors detected
- Dependency/lockfile changes
- Episode creation and resolution
Click "View all" to expand the full timeline.
Episode Cards
When issues are detected, Episode cards appear prominently on the Dashboard with action buttons: Investigate, Chat, Fix Plan, and Resolve.
Drift Alert Card
If drift detection identifies a stuck or looping agent, a drift alert card appears with severity level and suggested actions.
Playbook Match Card
When an active issue matches a previously saved Playbook, a suggestion card appears with the relevant solution steps.
Quick Ask
An input field at the bottom of the Dashboard lets you ask contextual questions without switching to the Chat tab. Your question is routed with full session context for relevant answers.
Capture Quality Nudge
If UnfoldAI detects that terminal capture could be improved, a nudge suggests opening the UnfoldAI Terminal for fuller command tracking.
Navigation
The sidebar has four main views, accessible from the top navigation:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Health overview, episodes, activity feed |
| UnfoldAI Agent | AI chat with session context |
| Context | File context management for chat |
| Insights | Playbooks, session analytics, deep analysis |
The Dashboard is the default view when you open UnfoldAI.
Status Bar
UnfoldAI adds a status bar indicator at the bottom of VS Code that shows current workspace health. Clicking it focuses the UnfoldAI sidebar. During high-priority alerts, the status bar briefly highlights to draw attention.
Availability
The Dashboard and all monitoring features are available on all plans, including Free.
