RightNow Agent includes a dashboard for every top-level session owned or discovered by the current pager process. It brings live status, dispatch, reply, and session controls into one full-screen view.
# Launch directly into the dashboard
rightnow-pager.exe dashboardFrom an active session, press Ctrl+\ or run /dashboard. Its slash aliases are /agents-dashboard and /sessions. The dashboard is a fullscreen feature and is hidden in minimal mode.
The roster contains top-level local sessions and forks. Subagents stay under their parent and are not separate dashboard rows. Rows are grouped by state or working directory and show live activity such as running commands, pending questions, monitors, or scheduled loops.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Up / Down, j / k | Move through rows and open the selected row's peek panel. |
| Enter | Open a selected agent, send a typed reply, or dispatch a new session. |
| Ctrl+S | Reply or dispatch, then attach to that session. |
| Ctrl+T | Pin or unpin the selected session. |
| Ctrl+R | Rename the selected session. |
| Ctrl+G | Toggle grouping by state or working directory. |
| Ctrl+X | Cancel a running turn; when idle, press twice within 2 seconds to delete. |
Selecting a row shows the latest response and a reply composer. Enter sends to the selected agent; a busy agent queues the reply. An empty reply opens the full session.
With [+ New Agent] selected, the bottom composer creates a new top-level session. Plain Enter stays on the dashboard; Ctrl+S dispatches and opens it.
Press Ctrl+/ to enter search mode. Typing then filters the list instead of dispatching work.
| Filter | Matches |
|---|---|
| a:<name> | Agent label, persona, or role. |
| s:<state> | Working, idle, completed, failed, needs-input, blocked, and documented synonyms. |
| #<text> | A literal # label substring. |
| other text | Agent label and working directory. |
Run /usage or /cost to open credit usage. Where billing management is available, /usage manage opens that flow. Session-specific context usage is available separately through /session-info.
The local unified JSONL log under ~/.rightnow/logs/unified.jsonl is the diagnostic record for startup, sessions, tools, and failures. Use it with rightnow-pager.exe doctor or rightnow-pager.exe doctor --json when the dashboard state needs investigation.
External OpenTelemetry export is off by default. It requires both the external telemetry master switch and an explicit metrics or logs exporter. The v1 schema is alpha, and content fields remain disabled unless their separate gates are enabled.
