README

che-dashboard-agent

A containerized AI coding assistant for the Eclipse Che Dashboard's Devfile Creator. Runs [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/claude-code) inside a [ttyd](https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd) web terminal (xterm.js + WebSocket), embedded in the dashboard UI via an iframe.

What it does

When a user creates a devfile in the Che Dashboard, they can start an AI agent that helps author and edit the devfile. The dashboard backend creates a dedicated Pod + ClusterIP Service for the agent (not a DevWorkspace). The agent communicates with the dashboard through a web terminal proxied over WebSocket.

The agent can also assist with troubleshooting DevWorkspace startup failures — diagnosing pod events, container logs, and patching DevWorkspace specs via the Kubernetes API.

Repository Structure

Path	Description
`dockerfiles/Dockerfile`	Multi-stage build: downloads Claude Code binary + ttyd + kubectl, produces a minimal scratch image
`scripts/collect-rootfs.sh`	Collects minimal rootfs for the scratch image (binaries, shared libs, glibc compat stubs, wrapper scripts)
`settings/settings.json`	Claude Code configuration (model selection, enabled plugins)
`settings/claude.json`	Onboarding state: skips first-run wizard and startup tips
`CLAUDE.md`	Base system prompt: role, mandatory container `args` rule, blocked commands, environment variables
`plugin/`	Claude Code plugin with two contextual skills (see Agent Skills)
`devfile.yaml`	Reference devfile for standalone testing (not used by the dashboard backend)
`Makefile`	Build, push, run, and smoke-test targets
