Monitor Dashboard Command
Command: /monitor:dashboard
Simple launcher that starts a monitoring dashboard in the background and opens the web browser.
How It Works
- Always Fresh: Copies latest dashboard from plugin installation every time
- No Version Checks: Simple direct copy ensures you always run the newest version
- Silent Launch: Command executes dashboard.py with minimal console output
- Background Process: Starts Flask server in background without blocking
- Auto Browser: Opens default browser to dashboard URL automatically
NEW v7.5.1: Always copies latest dashboard from plugin to ensure unified version with all 5 tabs.
CRITICAL: This command executes with minimal console reporting. Dashboard interface shows all metrics.
Usage
Basic Usage
# Launch monitoring dashboard in background (default)
/monitor:dashboard
# Launch with custom port
/monitor:dashboard --port 8080
# Launch with external access (trusted networks only)
/monitor:dashboard --host 0.0.0.0
# Launch with custom data directory
/monitor:dashboard --data-dir /path/to/patterns
# Check if dashboard is running
/monitor:dashboard --status
# Stop running dashboard
/monitor:dashboard --stop
Advanced Options
# Launch with debug mode (foreground for debugging)
/monitor:dashboard --debug
# Launch with custom refresh rate
/monitor:dashboard --refresh-rate 30
# Generate report without launching server
/monitor:dashboard --report-only
# Force restart if already running
/monitor:dashboard --restart
Expected Performance: Command completes in 1-2 seconds with dashboard running in background and browser automatically opened. No console output.
Command Behavior and Implementation
Direct Execution (No Agent Delegation)
CRITICAL: This command executes the dashboard directly without agent delegation to prevent duplicate launches.
- Direct Python Call:
python <plugin_path>/lib/dashboard.py(no agents involved) - Background Process: Runs Flask server completely in background
- Auto Browser: Opens browser automatically (once only)
- Silent Operation: No console reporting or status messages
- Web Interface: All metrics available through dashboard only
Implementation

# Benefits of this approach:
# 1. ✅ BASH-FIRST - Uses efficient bash commands when available
# 2. ✅ PYTHON FALLBACK - Reliable cross-platform compatibility when bash fails
# 3. ✅ FASTEST PERFORMANCE - local copy avoids plugin discovery overhead
# 4. ✅ RELIABLE - works even if plugin installation changes
# 5. ✅ SELF-CONTAINED - each project has its own dashboard instance
# 6. ✅ ERROR HANDLING - graceful fallbacks and informative error messages
# 4. ✅ OFFLINE CAPABLE - works completely without plugin after initial setup
# 5. ✅ EASY DEBUGGING - local copy can be modified and tested
# For custom arguments:
# python .claude-patterns/dashboard.py --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0
Platform Support:
- Windows: ✅ Native support (cmd.exe, PowerShell, Git Bash)
- Linux: ✅ Native support (bash, sh)
- macOS: ✅ Native support (bash, zsh)
- All Installation Methods: ✅ Marketplace, development, system-wide
How It Works:
- Built-in Discovery: The Python script automatically searches for plugin installation across all standard locations
- Marketplace Priority: Prioritizes marketplace installations over development/local installations
- Platform-Aware: Uses OS-specific environment variables and paths (Windows: APPDATA/LOCALAPPDATA, Linux/macOS: standard directories)
- Fallback Support: Falls back to development mode if marketplace installation not found
- Current Directory Access: Preserves current working directory for pattern data access (.claude-patterns/)
Discovery Order:
-
Marketplace Installations (Primary):
- Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\.claude\plugins\marketplaces\LLM-Autonomous-Agent-Plugin-for-Claude\ - macOS/Linux:
~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/LLM-Autonomous-Agent-Plugin-for-Claude/ - Alternative paths in
.config/claude/plugins/
- Windows:
-
Platform-Specific Paths:
- Windows:
APPDATA\Claude\plugins\marketplaces\,LOCALAPPDATA\Claude\plugins\marketplaces\ - Linux/macOS:
/usr/local/share/claude/plugins/marketplaces/,/opt/claude/plugins/marketplaces/
- Windows:
-
Development/Local Installations (Fallback):
~/.claude/plugins/autonomous-agent/- Current directory and parent directories (development mode)
Data Access: Pattern data always comes from current project directory (./.claude-patterns/), while the dashboard script runs from the plugin installation directory.
Benefits:
- ✅ Self-contained - no external launcher files needed
- ✅ Works from any user project directory
- ✅ Cross-platform compatible (Windows, Linux, macOS)
- ✅ Automatic plugin discovery - no hardcoded paths
- ✅ Marketplace installation priority
- ✅ Clear error messages with installation guidance
Key Fix: Eliminates path resolution issues by embedding discovery logic directly in the command rather than relying on external launcher files that don't exist in user project directories.
Smart Browser Opening (Enhanced v1.0.2)
Prevents Double Browser Opening:
- Existing Dashboard Detection: Checks if dashboard is already running on ports 5000-5010
- Browser Lock Mechanism: Uses lock files to track browser opening per port
- Single Browser Launch: Opens browser only once per dashboard instance
- Multiple Instance Support: Handles multiple dashboard instances gracefully
Browser Opening Logic:
- Check existing dashboard: Scans for running dashboard on specified port range
- Browser state tracking: Uses temporary lock files to track browser opening state
- Smart opening: Opens browser only if not already opened for that specific instance
- Automatic cleanup: Removes lock files on dashboard shutdown
Edge Cases Handled:
- Multiple dashboards: Each port gets separate browser lock tracking
- Dashboard restarts: Lock files are properly cleaned up and recreated
- Manual browser opening: Respects existing browser states
- Cross-platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS
Expected Command Output
Smart console output. The command provides intelligent feedback based on dashboard state:
# New dashboard instance:
Starting Autonomous Agent Dashboard...
Dashboard URL: http://127.0.0.1:5000
Opening browser automatically...
Browser opened to http://127.0.0.1:5000
# Existing dashboard found:
Dashboard is already running at: http://127.0.0.1:5000
Browser already opened for this dashboard instance.
# Browser opened for existing instance:
Dashboard is already running at: http://127.0.0.1:5000
Browser opened to existing dashboard: http://127.0.0.1:5000
Error Handling
If dashboard fails to start, the command fails silently. Check for common issues:
- Port conflicts: Use different port with
--port 8080 - Missing dependencies: Install with
pip install flask flask-cors - Directory issues: Ensure
.claude-patternsdirectory exists
All error handling and status information is available through the web dashboard interface.
Process Management Commands
# Check dashboard status
/monitor:dashboard --status
# Stop dashboard
/monitor:dashboard --stop
# Restart dashboard
/monitor:dashboard --restart
Process management commands are handled through the dashboard web interface.

Security Considerations
Local Access Only (Default)
- Binds to localhost (127.0.0.1) for security
- Accessible only from the machine where it's running
- Recommended for most use cases
Network Access (Use with Caution)
# Enable external access (trusted networks only)
/monitor:dashboard --host 0.0.0.0
# Add firewall rules for security
sudo ufw allow 5000 # Linux
# Configure firewall rules appropriately
Data Privacy
- All data processing happens locally
- No external data transmission
- Pattern data stored locally
- User controls data retention
Integration with Other Commands

# Clear old data
/monitor:dashboard --cleanup-days 7
Debug Mode
# Launch with debug output
/monitor:dashboard --debug
# Check log files
tail -f .claude/logs/dashboard.log
# Validate installation (auto-detects plugin path)
python <plugin_path>/lib/dashboard.py --validate
