signals-dashboard for GitHub Copilot: setup and guide

Q: How to install signals-dashboard in GitHub Copilot?

Run `copilot plugin install signals-dashboard@awesome-copilot` in your terminal.

Q: What is required for Local Delegation to work?

You need the `local-agent-delegation` skill installed and a qualified route receipt. If either requirement is missing, fail-closed handling stops execution.

What signals-dashboard does

The plugin provides a live Workshop dashboard displaying desk signals and escalation patterns. It includes cost-aware launch profiles for repo and connected desks. This keeps track of resource usage during multi-agent workflows.

A built-in Local Delegation toggle lets the frontier desk run the local-agent-delegation skill for bounded read and evidence tasks. Availability is fail-closed. Delegation requires both the skill and a qualified route receipt, preventing any silent savings credit.

Install this plugin if you orchestrate multi-agent desks and need explicit escalation tracking. Skip it for standard single-file coding sessions.

What it helps with

monitor agent signals and score bars in real time
select cost-aware desk profiles between repo and connected
route bounded read tasks through Local Delegation
prevent unverified delegation using fail-closed checks

Example prompts for the agent

Show live signals and escalations for the active desk
Enable Local Delegation using `local-agent-delegation`
Switch the desk launch profile to `connected`
