AI Coding Agent Dashboard

One neutral dashboard that aggregates what every AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex) shipped overnight — PRs, merges, issues — into a single morning digest with risk flags.

You wake up, pour the coffee, and your AI agents have already been working for eight hours. Claude Code closed three issues overnight. Cursor's background agent refactored a service. A GitHub Copilot Workspace task opened two pull requests. Codex pushed a branch. The work happened — but the evidence is scattered across six tools, each with its own tab, its own inbox, its own notion of "activity." Before you've made a single decision, you've spent twenty minutes doing morning archaeology: clicking through repos, scanning PR lists, cross-referencing which agent did what and whether any of it is safe to merge.

Built for Developers, Solo Founders, Weekend Builders.

Willingness to pay tracks existing dev-tool bands ($10–20/user/month for Copilot-class tools), and engineering leads carry budget specifically to justify and govern AI spend to leadership.

Suggested stack: Next.js 15 + Server Actions, GitHub App + webhooks, Convex or Supabase (Postgres), Connector layer (per agent), Claude (Haiku/Sonnet) for one-line summaries, Slack API + Resend. Weekend scope: about 8 hours.

Market Research

AI coding agents crossed mainstream developer adoption by 2025–2026 — Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot Workspace, and Codex are now standard parts of the daily loop…

Competitive Landscape

GitHub Copilot / Copilot Workspace — The default surface where many code changes land, with deep PR and repo integration. But it's vertically integrated and built to keep you…

Business Model

Free ($0) — 1 developer, 2 connected agents, daily digest for up to 3 repos, "powered by" footer. Pure top-of-funnel.

  1. 1. Project Setup

    Build the weekend MVP of "Coding Agent Dashboard": one morning screen of everything your AI coding agents shipped overnight, with risk flags.
    
    Stack: Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind, Supabase (Postgres, Row Level Security, Auth with email magic link), a GitHub App for the events, Claude (Anthropic API) for one-line summaries. Deploy on Vercel.
    Source: GitHub webhooks only. Agents are told apart by author, or by branch prefix such as claude/ and cursor/.
    
    Tables (Row Level Security on, each user reads only their own rows):
    - agents(id, user_id, kind, display_name, connected_at) where kind is one of claude_code, cursor, copilot, codex, other
    - repos(id, user_id, github_repo_id, full_name, installation_id)
    - events(id, user_id, agent_id, repo_id, type, title, url, occurred_at, payload jsonb, summary, risk_flag) where type is one of pr_opened, pr_merged, commit, issue_closed, task_done
    - digests(id, user_id, window_start, window_end, sent_at, channel)
    
    Screens: /dashboard (timeline cards, filter by repo, agent and time), /connect, /settings.
    Env vars (names only): NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY (server only), GITHUB_APP_ID, GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY, GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
    
    Do not build: billing or plans, connectors for Cursor, Claude Code or Codex activity logs, Slack or email delivery, a scheduler for the digest.
    Done when: npm run dev starts, you can sign in, and the four tables exist with Row Level Security on.
  2. 2. Core Feature

    Build the one feature that proves the idea: a morning digest with a risk queue.
    1. Add the GitHub App install flow with fine-grained repo permissions, and a webhook receiver at /api/webhooks/github that verifies the signature and writes normalized rows into events: { agent_id, repo_id, type, title, url, occurred_at, payload }.
    2. Detect the acting agent from the PR or commit author, the branch prefix or a mapping the user sets in /connect. Collapse one change (task, commit, PR) into one timeline entry.
    3. For each PR, ask Claude for a one-line summary and a risk_flag when it (a) merged straight into a protected branch, (b) touched a sensitive path (auth, billing, migrations, secrets) or (c) had no human reviewer. Cache the summary on the event row.
    4. /dashboard has a Last night view: "3 agents, 7 events, 2 need review", grouped by repo and agent, with risk items pinned to the top and every line linking to its PR.
    Rules: write it so a new agent is one adapter file that implements normalize(payload) and returns events.
    Empty state: with no repos, show the install button and a sample digest.
    Done when: a test PR opened by a branch named claude/test appears under the right agent, a merge into main without review is flagged, and the digest shows it at the top.
  3. 3. Landing Page

    Build a one-page landing site for Coding Agent Dashboard, a neutral control tower for AI coding agents.
    Hero: "Wake up to one screen of everything your coding agents shipped." One button: Join the waitlist.
    Sections: the problem (five agents, five places to look), how it works in three steps (connect once, agents work overnight, wake up to one screen), a mock digest with two risk flags pinned to the top, and a short FAQ on permissions and what the dashboard can see.
    Waitlist: store the email in a waitlist table in Supabase. No other service.
    Voice: dry, technical and brief.
    Done when: the page renders on a phone and a submitted email appears in the waitlist table.
  4. 4. Branding Package

    Use a design or image tool for this one. A coding agent cannot draw a logo.
    Brand for Coding Agent Dashboard: a wordmark and an icon that suggest a control tower or a lookout.
    Colors: near-black, off-white, one calm blue accent, and an amber used only for risk flags. Type: a clean sans for the interface and a mono for repo and branch names.
    Deliverables: wordmark, icon, a risk-flag badge, and one launch graphic of the morning digest.
    Done when: each deliverable is saved in one folder and the badge reads at 24 px.
