Flightdeck

A Claude Code mod that puts a live agent dashboard in your terminal: context and cost, an advisor timeline, every permission check, and your subagents as cards or swimlanes. Every number comes from a real session event, and nothing leaves your machine.

Install

Inside Claude Code (2.1.287 or later):

From the terminal, or from a clone

Or load it straight from a clone, for one session:

The installer may say config options aren't set; the defaults are fine, and /config changes them.

Mods are an early-access Claude Code feature and their API can change between releases. If something breaks, see Troubleshooting.

What you see

Connectors animate only while work flows: a turn is running, an agent is running, or a consult is open. Panels with nothing to show take no room, so a session without subagents shows just the main box and the log.

Use

Focus the pane with ctrl+x tab, then:

/clear resets the pane along with the conversation.

Where it runs

- Fullscreen terminal: docked beside the transcript; two columns from 110 columns wide.
- Main-screen terminal: inline above the prompt, as the 8-row summary.
- Desktop app, VS Code, mobile: the same panels, plus the agents drawn as an SVG time axis. VS Code and mobile can't animate, so connectors and clocks are static there. (The VS Code extension may show no pane at all yet: see Troubleshooting.)

With openOnStart, the pane opens by itself when a session starts, in terminals at least 144 columns wide; below that, /flightdeck opens it. Colours come from your Claude Code theme, so light, dark and colour-blind themes all read.
