Opens a browser view of the project’s current state. With the optional global CLI installed:

syntaxis dashboard

What’s actually on it

• Roadmap progress pulled from the build plan
• Whatever’s active right now — feature, fix, or rollback — and its steps
• Open findings, broken out by severity
• Git branch and working-tree state
• Whichever command ran most recently, or is running now
• Finished history
• A suggested next action

Options

Option	Effect
--no-open	Start it without launching a browser
--target, -t	Project directory, defaults to the current one

It only ever reads

Nothing here starts your application, runs a workflow command, or touches a project file. It binds to 127.0.0.1, needs no internet connection, and shuts down the moment you hit Ctrl+C.

How activity gets tracked

Longer commands publish their progress to syntaxis/.state/run.json — a generated, Git-ignored file that’s never part of a feature commit.

Skills write to it through a helper that validates every field first; it’s never meant to be created or edited by hand. If it ends up malformed, /doctor can offer to reset it, with your approval.

Short orientation commands — explore, brief, status, doctor — skip writing activity state entirely, and so does /check guide.

Staying current

The view updates on its own as Syntaxis files and Git state change. There’s nothing to restart after any command finishes.
