The dashboard

The Chronos dashboard is a three-pane workspace: sessions on the left, the active session in the center, and review tools on the right. It runs locally and is dark/light aware.

  • Repository path + Open — connect a workspace by path (or .). Chronos remembers what you have opened before.
  • Docs — opens this user guide.
  • Theme toggle — switch between dark and light themes.

Each session shows a status dot, a name, live +added / −removed line counts, and the branch it is working on. Click a session to open it; the button starts a new one. The footer shows which agent is active. See Sessions for the full lifecycle.

The progress view streams what the agent is doing as it happens: the text it writes, the actions it takes, and a summary at the end. Open a session at any time and you see its full history first, then live updates.

The composer is where you talk to the agent:

  • Type an instruction and press Enter (Shift+Enter for a new line).
  • Pick the agent for a new session.
  • Toggle Plan to have the agent propose a plan without making changes — see Prompting and plan mode.

Four tabs:

  • All files — the files in the session.
  • Changes — what changed versus your base branch, with line counts and per-file status.
  • Checks — the result of your verification steps; red blocks merge.
  • Capabilities — the approved skills and tools available to this session.

At the top right sit Approve, Merge, and Create PR — all governed by your organization’s policy. See Pull requests, approvals, and merge.

Right pane bottom — Setup, Run, Terminal

Section titled “Right pane bottom — Setup, Run, Terminal”

A panel for your project’s predefined scripts (such as setup and run) and a secure, audited terminal. Everything here runs in the session’s isolated environment. See Scripts and the secure terminal.
