Features

• Voice Control: Always-on wake word detection + speech synthesis
• AI Chat: Claude Haiku with tool use (shell commands, file read, osascript)
• Real-time Widgets: CPU, memory, disk, battery, email, calendar, reminders
• Terminal Feed: Live shell history and running processes
• Data Viewer: Shows tool call results in a dedicated panel
• Proactive Engine: AI initiates conversation during idle periods
• Boot Sequence: Themed initialization animation

Custom Themes

Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your environment, then:

control-center create --theme "Blade Runner Nexus-6 Replicant Interface" --name nexus
control-center create --theme "Hogwarts Magical Command Center" --name hogwarts
control-center create --theme "Submarine Tactical Operations" --name sub-ops

Claude generates a complete theme config including colors, personality, boot sequence, and voice settings.

Configuration

Each generated dashboard includes a .env.example file:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here
PORT=3000
MODEL=claude-haiku-4-5-20251001

Copy to .env and add your Anthropic API key for AI chat. Without it, the dashboard still works with canned responses.

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• Node.js 18+ (for running the generated dashboard)
• Chrome browser (for Web Speech API)
