SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting the rad orchestration dashboard manually requires knowing the correct CLI invocation, handling port conflicts, and finding the right URL to open. This Skill automates launching the dashboard and tells you exactly where to access it. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Dashboard Launch: Invokes the bundled radorch CLI to start the orchestration dashboard UI. - Port Conflict Reporting: Compares the requested port against the actually bound port and informs you when the dashboard comes up on a different port than configured. - Structured Error Relay: Parses the CLI's JSON envelope and relays failure causes verbatim, such as when every port in the configured scan range is taken. - Use Case: While brainstorming or planning a project, ask to start the dashboard to get a visual overview of the project state and interact with the pipeline through a browser. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start the rad orchestration dashboard UI and share the URL to open in your browser.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start the rad orchestration dashboard UI?▼

Ask the assistant to start the dashboard, and it runs the bundled radorch CLI with the ui start command. The CLI returns a JSON envelope containing the URL to open in your browser.

What happens if the configured dashboard port is already in use?▼

The CLI scans a port range anchored at the configured ui.port and binds the first available one. If the bound port differs from the requested port, the assistant tells you the dashboard came up on a different port and reports the actual URL.

Why does the dashboard fail to start?▼

The typical failure occurs when every port in the configured scan range is already taken. The CLI returns an error envelope whose message describes the cause, and the assistant relays that message verbatim.

When should I use the rad orchestration dashboard?▼

Use it during brainstorming, planning, or executing a project when you want a visual overview of the project and its current state. It also helps when sharing a visual diagram or markdown document and interacting with the pipeline in a browser.
