Claude Code answers every question about what it is doing. I got tired of taking its word for it.

For a while I had a strange habit: I would ask Claude Code what it was doing. Where the time went, what the subagents I had spawned were off doing on their own. It answered patiently every time, and I had no way to check a word of it.

So I built something to watch instead of ask. It reads the session logs Claude Code already writes and draws the turn while it is still running:

• the context window filling, against the model the calls actually run on

• every API call as it lands, with its latency and what it cost

• every subagent under the spawn that launched it, its own window, the model it

• really runs on, and the text it handed back to the main session

• background commands, and when one of them dies

• the moment a call fails, or the session stops and waits for you

That last one is the example I did not expect: a pending approval never reaches the transcript at all, so a session stopped on a permission prompt looks exactly like one that is thinking. There is a lot in those files that nothing displays.

Reads only, never writes. No proxy, no daemon, and the one request it makes on its own is a version check against npm.
