Project Dashboard

The Dashboard is where you build your project's hardware context. Select platforms and peripherals, add datasources, and invite your team. The CLI and VS Code extension sync with it automatically.

Create a project

Click Create Project and give it a name matching your hardware target. It appears in the project dropdown across the CLI and the VS Code extension, so keep it specific enough to find quickly.

From VS Code, open the chat pane, click the project dropdown at the bottom, and select Create project. Your browser opens the dashboard.

From the CLI, run hydron to authenticate, configure the project in the dashboard, then press Ctrl+Shift+P in the terminal to select it.

Select your platform and peripherals

Open HW Registry and select the platform and peripherals your project uses. Each selection pulls in vendor datasheets, reference manuals, and errata automatically.

Two things to get right:

  • Verify the revisions match the parts on your board. Vendors ship multiple datasheet versions per chip, and the wrong revision will lead Hydron astray.
  • Fill the gaps. Anything the catalogue cannot know about (board schematics, custom HAL specs, internal design documents) goes in as a datasource.

See Hardware Registry.

Add your datasources

See Datasources for formats, limits, and what to attach.

Bring in your team

Click Members and invite your team. You can only add members within your organisation.

See Teams and roles.

Why this matters

Everything configured here flows into every prompt across the CLI and the VS Code extension. A new engineer who joins the project inherits the same catalogue, the same files, and the same indexed codebase, and is current before writing a line.
