Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

IJFW Dashboard

Local observability dashboard at `http://localhost:37891`. Shows observations from all platforms (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) in real time via SSE.

Commands

ijfw dashboard start    # bind port 37891, open browser (unless $CI)
ijfw dashboard stop     # send shutdown, clean up PID + port files
ijfw dashboard status   # show port, uptime, observation count

How it works

  • Port 37891 by default; walks to 37900 if busy. Actual port written to `.ijfw/dashboard.port`.
  • Reads `~/.ijfw/observations.jsonl` (shared ledger across all platforms).
  • SSE delivers new observations within 150ms of ledger append.
  • Single-file HTML viewer -- no React, no build step, no external network.
  • `localhost`-gated: external requests return 403.

Platform coverage

| Platform | Writes observations | Reads dashboard | |---|---|---| | Claude Code | yes | yes | | Codex | yes | yes | | Gemini | yes | yes | | Cursor | view-only | yes | | Windsurf | view-only | yes | | Copilot | view-only | yes |

Session start

Dashboard observations render at session start via `session-start-dashboard.sh`. Run `ijfw dashboard start` to also open the browser view.
