# /ar:ar-status — Experiment Dashboard

Show experiment results, active loops, and progress across all experiments.

## Usage

```
/ar:ar-status                                  # Full dashboard
/ar:ar-status engineering/api-speed            # Single experiment detail
/ar:ar-status --domain engineering             # All experiments in a domain
/ar:ar-status --format markdown                # Export as markdown
/ar:ar-status --format csv --output results.csv  # Export as CSV
```

## What It Does

### Single experiment

```bash
python {skill_path}/scripts/log_results.py --experiment {domain}/{name}
```

Also check for active loop:
```bash
cat .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/loop.json 2>/dev/null
```

If loop.json exists, show:
```
Active loop: every {interval} (cron ID: {id}, started: {date})
```

### Domain view

```bash
python {skill_path}/scripts/log_results.py --domain {domain}
```

### Full dashboard

```bash
python {skill_path}/scripts/log_results.py --dashboard
```

For each experiment, also check for loop.json and show loop status.

### Export

```bash
# CSV
python {skill_path}/scripts/log_results.py --dashboard --format csv --output {file}

# Markdown
python {skill_path}/scripts/log_results.py --dashboard --format markdown --output {file}
```
