Today

Open one tab each morning.Today reads your last session, open errors, today's spend, and your ship readiness — then names the one thing to do before you open another PR.

See it in motion

Where to find it

  • Localhost: http://localhost:4000/today.html?repo=<id> — the default home tab.
  • Hosted (team): Team rollup at repoops.ai/team (same panels, summed across the team).
  • Keyboard: ⌘ K then today, or g t jumps direct.
  • Sidebar: Overview → Today (first item).

What it does for you

You'll know what to do next.The Next-Best-Action panel reads recent errors, ship-readiness, and open PRs — and names the single highest-leverage move. No more "where do I start?"
You'll know what today cost.A glanceable spend tile against your daily cap, with the 7-day average underneath. If you blow the cap, you know now — not at month-end.
You'll know it's safe to ship.Ship-readiness rolls up the guardrail scan, env doctor, and git state. Green means push; amber means look before you push. The big red 3 high vulnerabilities tile means stop.

Configure

Nothing required — Today works the moment the dashboard starts. Some panels degrade gracefully when their data source is missing.

  • BUDGET_DAILY_USD (or per-repo override) — the cap the spend tile compares against. Defaults to 20.
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (BYOK) — required for the Next-Best-Action LLM ranking. Falls back to a heuristic when missing.
  • Settings → Brain pulse — toggle the overnight reflector that populates the brain pulse panel. See Brain reflection.
  • Settings → Daily digest — sends the same panel model to your inbox each morning. The async twin.

Use it well

  1. Open Today first thing each morning.

    Read it top-to-bottom. The order is deliberate: Next-Best-Action sits above spend because direction beats throughput.

  2. If a panel surfaces a finding, click into its detail tab.

    Every tile deep-links to where the work happens. Vulnerabilities red? Click → Security tab. Errors growing? Click → Errors tab.

  3. Treat ship-readiness as a pre-commit gate, not a status display.

    If it goes amber, fix the finding before you stage. The Ship Assistant detail panel has the runbook.

  4. Close the loop on Brain pulse.

    The async twin of last night's reflection — accept what's worth keeping, then close the loop. See Brain reflection for the full review flow.
