Dashboard — Plastic Work Cockpit

A deterministic overview of the intent store(s). It answers three questions at a glance: where we are (recently worked), where we go next (the most-valuable next work), and how to conduct it (a disposition per intent). The human-facing surface is Markdown, because the user's UI renders Markdown natively but collapses raw tool-call stdout.

The script does all the data work. The agent fills a Markdown template from the script's payload with near-zero reasoning and presents the filled board in its reply. Same store state → byte-identical payload, regardless of model. Do NOT hand-summarize intents.

When to Use

• User invokes /plastic-dashboard
• User asks "where are we", "what's next", "what should I work on", "show me the intents"
• plastic-project-continuing lands on the board on resume
• plastic-auto reads --json to choose the next dispatchable intent

Procedure (the Markdown board — default human surface)

Step 1 — Get the data payload

ruby ~/.plastic/scripts/dashboard.rb [continue|project <slug>] --data

• continue (default) → the global board payload (mode: "global").
• project <slug> → that project board payload (mode: "project").

The payload is read-only JSON. Global-board fields: date, store_health, summary, next_work, next_total, next_shown, counts, projects, project_totals, footer. Project-board fields: slug, store_health, description, summary, counts, active, active_total, active_shown, next_work, next_total, next_shown, footer. summary and footer are finished prose strings (2-3 sentences and one line respectively), built in dashboard.rb and substituted verbatim, exactly like {{date}}/{{description}} already are - never re-worded or re-derived by the skill. Each list carries cell-ready fields for its table: next_work rows are {id, intent, scope, lifecycle, value, disposition, flags, what, flags_label, line}; active rows carry {id, intent, created, bullet, scope, what, stage, worker, activity, line}. The what, scope, worker, activity, and flags_label cell fields arrive pipe-escaped and whitespace-normalized.
