+# Change: Add View Dashboard Command
+
+## Why
+
+Users need a quick, at-a-glance overview of their OpenSpec project status without running multiple commands. Currently, users must run `openspec list --changes` and `openspec list --specs` separately to understand the project state. A unified dashboard view would improve developer experience and provide immediate insight into project progress.
+
+## What Changes
+
+### Added `openspec view` Command
+
+The new command provides an interactive dashboard displaying:
+- Summary metrics (total specs, requirements, changes, task progress)
+- Active changes with visual progress bars
+- Completed changes
+- Specifications with requirement counts
+
+### Specifications Affected
+
+- **cli-view** (NEW): Complete specification for the view dashboard command
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### File Structure
+- Created `/src/core/view.ts` implementing the `ViewCommand` class
+- Registered command in `/src/cli/index.ts`
+- Reuses existing utilities from `task-progress.ts` and `MarkdownParser`
+
+### Visual Design
+- Uses Unicode box drawing characters for borders
+- Color coding: cyan for specs, yellow for active, green for completed
+- Progress bars using filled (█) and empty (░) blocks
+- Clean alignment with proper padding
+
+### Technical Approach
+- Async data fetching from changes and specs directories
+- Parallel processing of specs and changes
+- Error handling for missing or invalid data
+- Maintains consistency with existing list command output

+# CLI View Command - Changes
+
+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Dashboard Display
+
+The system SHALL provide a `view` command that displays a dashboard overview of specs and changes.
+
+#### Scenario: Basic dashboard display
+
+- **WHEN** user runs `openspec view`
+- **THEN** system displays a formatted dashboard with sections for summary, active changes, completed changes, and specifications
+
+#### Scenario: No OpenSpec directory
+
+- **WHEN** user runs `openspec view` in a directory without OpenSpec
+- **THEN** system displays error message "✗ No openspec directory found"
+
+### Requirement: Summary Section
+
+The dashboard SHALL display a summary section with key project metrics.
+
+#### Scenario: Complete summary display
+
+- **WHEN** dashboard is rendered with specs and changes
+- **THEN** system shows total number of specifications and requirements
+- **AND** shows number of active changes in progress
+- **AND** shows number of completed changes
+- **AND** shows overall task progress percentage
+
+#### Scenario: Empty project summary
+
+- **WHEN** no specs or changes exist
+- **THEN** summary shows zero counts for all metrics
+
+### Requirement: Active Changes Display
+
+The dashboard SHALL show active changes with visual progress indicators.
+
+#### Scenario: Active changes with progress bars
+
+- **WHEN** there are in-progress changes with tasks
+- **THEN** system displays each change with change name left-aligned
+- **AND** visual progress bar using Unicode characters
+- **AND** percentage completion on the right
+
+#### Scenario: No active changes
+
+- **WHEN** all changes are completed or no changes exist
+- **THEN** active changes section is omitted from display
+
+### Requirement: Completed Changes Display
+
+The dashboard SHALL list completed changes in a separate section.
+
+#### Scenario: Completed changes listing
+
+- **WHEN** there are completed changes (all tasks done)
+- **THEN** system shows them with checkmark indicators in a dedicated section
+
+#### Scenario: Mixed completion states
+
+- **WHEN** some changes are complete and others active
+- **THEN** system separates them into appropriate sections
+
+### Requirement: Specifications Display
+
+The dashboard SHALL display specifications sorted by requirement count.
+
+#### Scenario: Specs listing with counts
+
+- **WHEN** specifications exist in the project
+- **THEN** system shows specs sorted by requirement count (descending) with count labels
+
+#### Scenario: Specs with parsing errors
+
+- **WHEN** a spec file cannot be parsed
+- **THEN** system includes it with 0 requirement count
+
+### Requirement: Visual Formatting
+
+The dashboard SHALL use consistent visual formatting with colors and symbols.
+
+#### Scenario: Color coding
+
+- **WHEN** dashboard elements are displayed
+- **THEN** system uses cyan for specification items
+- **AND** yellow for active changes
+- **AND** green for completed items
+- **AND** dim gray for supplementary text
+
+#### Scenario: Progress bar rendering
+
+- **WHEN** displaying progress bars
+- **THEN** system uses filled blocks (█) for completed portions and light blocks (░) for remaining
+
+### Requirement: Error Handling
+
+The view command SHALL handle errors gracefully.
+
+#### Scenario: File system errors
+
+- **WHEN** file system operations fail
+- **THEN** system continues with available data and omits inaccessible items
+
+#### Scenario: Invalid data structures
+
+- **WHEN** specs or changes have invalid format
+- **THEN** system skips invalid items and continues rendering
