Add clidash (CLI-derived read-only dashboard)

Installs a zero-dependency, read-only web dashboard that builds its tabs and tables at runtime from any CLI that lists resources as JSON.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 30,840⑂ 12,826AI score 7/10Last updated: Sep 23, 2026

What it does

  • Copies a self-contained tools/clidash/ directory into your repo — no dependencies, no build step, no changes to NanoClaw src/.
  • Runs the CLIs listed in your config (ncl, docker, kubectl, …), parses their JSON, and assembles the UI at runtime: one tab per resource, table columns derived from the rows themselves.
  • Ships pre-wired for NanoClaw with an Agents overview (green <15m / amber <2h / red older), per-session message activity charts, a log tail over an allowlist of files, and a read-only viewer for group skills, CLAUDE.md, and profiles.
  • Walks you through config copy → npm test with a stub CLI → node server.js on 127.0.0.1:4690 → curl verification, plus systemd/launchd service samples and a troubleshooting list.

Who it's for

  • NanoClaw operators who want a live view of agent groups and sessions.
  • Anyone who wants a lightweight internal ops page without adding npm packages or a push pipeline.
  • Infra folks who'd like JSON-emitting CLIs rendered as browsable web tables.

Examples

  1. Ask "add clidash" — the skill copies the tool, creates clidash.config.json, gitignores it, and runs the test suite.
  2. Verify discovery with curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4690/api/clis and a real table via /api/r/ncl/groups.
  3. Add docker as a jsonlines CLI in config to get a container tab with zero code.
  4. Set BIND to a private tailnet IP and keep it running as a systemd user service.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the .claude/skills/add-clidash folder from the GitHub repo nanocoai/nanoclaw into my ~/.claude/skills/add-clidash/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -R nanoclaw/.claude/skills/add-clidash ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal in your working directory.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git
  3. Copy the skill into Claude's skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -R nanoclaw/.claude/skills/add-clidash ~/.claude/skills/
  4. Confirm Node.js 22.5 or newer with node -v.
  5. Start Claude Code from the NanoClaw repo root and ask it to "add clidash".
  6. Follow the steps: copy tools/clidash, then cp clidash.config.example.json clidash.config.json.
  7. Run cd tools/clidash && npm test, then node server.js, and open http://127.0.0.1:4690/.
  8. To reach it from another device, set BIND to a private (tailnet) IP only — never a public interface, since there is no auth.
