+# Copilot-First Dashboard Redesign — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Redesign the dashboard and navigation so the AI chat copilot is the primary experience — an engineer handed a login URL should immediately see "What are you troubleshooting?" and be able to start a conversation, paste images, and drag files, like ChatGPT/Claude.
+
+**Architecture:** The dashboard becomes a chat-first page with a centered input area (textarea + file upload), recent conversations sidebar, and secondary dashboard widgets collapsed below. The sidebar navigation is simplified to put the copilot front and center. Guided troubleshooting (flow-following mode) moves to the sidebar as an option but is no longer the default mode.
+
+**Tech Stack:** React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, existing `RichTextInput` component (drag-drop + paste images), existing FlowPilot/Assistant Chat APIs
+
+**GTM Context:** [resolutionflow-gtm-design.md](resolutionflow-gtm-design.md) — colleague pilot in 1-2 weeks. Engineers should open the app and immediately start troubleshooting, not learn a platform.

+## Current State → Target State
+
+### Dashboard (QuickStartPage)
+
+**Current:** Greeting → Onboarding checklist → Small input bar → Escalations → Active sessions → Stat cards → Knowledge Base + Team Summary → Recent sessions
+
+**Target:** Large centered chat input (ChatGPT-style) with:
+- Greeting + subtitle ("What are you troubleshooting?")
+- Large textarea with paste/drag-drop file support (reuse `RichTextInput`)
+- Quick suggestion chips below ("VPN not connecting", "Outlook not syncing", "User locked out")
+- Recent conversations list below the input (last 5-10 sessions)
+- Secondary widgets (stats, KB, team summary) collapsed into a "Dashboard" section at the bottom or accessible via sidebar
+
+### Sidebar Navigation
+
+**Current:** Home → Work (Sessions, Escalations) → Know (Flows, Step Library, Scripts, Builder, Review) → Data (Exports, Analytics, FP Analytics) → Help (Guides, Feedback) → Acct
+
+**Target:** New Conversation (top, prominent) → History (recent sessions) → Guided Flows → Scripts → Analytics → Account. The sidebar should feel like a chat app sidebar, not an enterprise nav.
+
+### Input Experience
+
+**Current:** Single-line `` with mode toggle (Guided/Chat). No file support on the dashboard input.
+
+**Target:** Multi-line `
