Make sure the local pi-dashboard server is running before any pi-dashboard action. Use FIRST whenever the user mentions the pi dashboard, pi sessions or pi agents, or asks to start or open the dashboard; also when a dashboard call fails with "connection refused".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ensure the pi-dashboard server is running
Run exactly this as ONE foreground Bash call with the tool timeout set to 600000 ms (600 s).
Never run it in the background and never add `&`: the script starts the server detached itself.
```bash
sh "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/ensure-dashboard.sh"
```
Shell variables do not survive between Bash calls. Write the literal `BASE` URL in every later call.
If the tool call itself times out, run the same command again: the script is idempotent and reports
`already-running` once the server is up.
Read the `STATUS=` line on stdout:
- `already-running` or `started` (exit 0): use the printed `BASE=<url>`. Continue with the
`pi-dashboard-control` skill.
- `busy` (exit 3): something holds the port or a dashboard is still starting. Tell the user to
retry in a minute; point to the server log path printed on stderr if it persists. Do not start another one.
- `recovery` (exit 3): the dashboard is in recovery mode. Tell the user; do not try to start it.
- `port-conflict` (exit 5): another program answers on the dashboard port. Tell the user to free
the port or set `DASHBOARD_PORT`. Do not send any credentials to it.

How to install
mdr add blackbelttechnology/pi-agent-dashboard/pi-dashboard-bootstrap@sha256:4c79981487495642The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.9864df4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
