Runtime Context

Before rendering, load:

1. Preferences: cat ${OPS_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json — read owner, timezone
2. Daemon health: cat ${OPS_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json — show service status in dashboard footer
3. GSD registry: cat ${OPS_DATA_DIR}/registry.json — primary project index (updated by daemon twice daily + on-demand with --sync)

OPS ► PROJECTS — GSD Portfolio Dashboard

Load ops-rules before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If AskUserQuestion / Workflow are missing, follow Rule 10 in ops-rules (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; delegate_task).

Quick commands

# Refresh registry data on demand
bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ops-gsd-registry-sync.sh

# Show registry contents
cat ${OPS_DATA_DIR}/registry.json

# Show health summary
cat ${OPS_DATA_DIR}/cache/projects_health.json

Discovery

ops-gsd-registry-sync.sh does not assume a fixed workspace directory. It walks $HOME and records every .planning/ directory it finds, so any layout works.

• OPS_GSD_SCAN_ROOTS — colon-separated extra roots to walk besides $HOME (use this for projects that live outside the home directory)
• OPS_GSD_SCAN_DEPTH — how deep to walk (default 5)
• OPS_GSD_SCAN_EXCLUDE — colon-separated extra directory names to skip
• OPS_GSD_INCLUDE_WORKTREES=1 — also scan .worktrees/ (skipped by default, since worktrees duplicate an existing project)

Build noise (node_modules, .git, .venv, dist, caches) is always skipped.

Dashboard output

Build the dashboard from ${OPS_DATA_DIR}/cache/projects_health.json (fall back to ${OPS_DATA_DIR}/registry.json if missing). Show:

Actions:
  [1] Open project directory
  [2] Continue GSD (/gsd-next [alias])
  [3] Git: branch / status / log
  [4] Run /ops projects (back to portfolio)

Present numbered actions and let the user pick by typing the number or action name.

--sync flag

If --sync or --refresh is passed, run the registry sync script first, then display the updated dashboard:

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ops-gsd-registry-sync.sh 2>&1

Show "Refreshing..." while running, then present the full updated dashboard.

Error states

• If registry.json is missing/empty: show a one-shot sync prompt

  No project registry found. Run /ops projects --sync to build it.
  

• If daemon health shows action_needed: surface that in a warning banner
