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.

Section titled “Header”- Repository path + Open — connect a workspace by path (or
.). Chronos remembers what you have opened before. - Docs — opens this user guide.

Left pane — sessions
Section titled “Left pane — sessions”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.
Center pane — progress and composer
Section titled “Center pane — progress and composer”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.
Right pane — review and actions
Section titled “Right pane — review and actions”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.
