## Content

## Overview

Claude Super Sidebar is built around Claude Code's native plugin pane and Codex's locally persisted session records. It gives developers using Claude Code or standalone Codex a way to see agent relationships, execution status, and the steps in a conversation's work without switching between logs and the active session.

The two integrations are distinct: Claude Code gets a native pane driven by lifecycle hooks and session messages, while Codex gets a read-only browser dashboard that parses local session files. Task summaries are derived locally, with no additional model call.

## Key Features

- Shows the main agent and subagents in a relationship tree, with expandable execution details.
- Displays running, waiting, completed, and failed states, with different timing behavior for Claude and Codex.
- Summarizes agent details such as model, role, observed token usage, elapsed time, and tool-call count when available.
- Groups observed conversation operations into task stages, keeping operation results and verification conclusions separate.
- Starts a fresh task flow for each new user request and displays up to 30 recent steps.
- Extracts observable plans from Claude conversations and successfully submitted `update_plan` steps from Codex sessions.
- Offers English and Chinese controls and card color preferences.

## Use Cases

- Claude Code users who want to follow a main agent's subagents and execution status in a persistent native pane.
- Developers using Codex CLI or App who want to inspect a locally saved conversation's progress in a browser panel.
- Teams reviewing what tools did during a request, while distinguishing completed operations from assistant-reported verification.
- Developers comparing the progress of a specific Codex conversation and its descendants without treating recorded activity as live process status.

## Our Take

This is a focused, recently active tool for agent visibility, but adoption depends on Claude Code's early-access native APIs or Codex's local session format, and the project currently relies on one contributor.

**Good fit if:**
- You use Claude Code or Codex and want agent and task-flow visibility alongside the session.
- A read-only Codex dashboard or Claude Code native pane matches your workflow, and you can work within the stated host and Node.js requirements.
- You are comfortable evaluating a new Apache-2.0 project with recent commits but no published release in the past year.

**Look elsewhere if:**
- You need a verified, stable integration across Claude host versions; the README says current native validation and Desktop reload remain unverified.
- You need remote or multi-user monitoring, cross-session history, or a Codex dashboard that drives conversations.
- You need the project to be maintained by a broader contributor group; the measured contributor activity is concentrated in one person.

## What You Need

Detected in the repository:

- Node.js >=22.18 (from package.json)

## Getting Started

For the standalone Codex dashboard, use Node.js 22.18 or later and run:

```bash
npm run codex -- --cwd "/absolute/path/to/your/project"
```

Open `http://127.0.0.1:4317`. For Claude Code installation, host compatibility, and conversation binding details, see the [README](https://github.com/Zafer-Liu/claude-super-sidebar#readme).

## Alternatives

- [agentwatch](https://osrepos.com/repo/mishanefedov-agentwatch): agentwatch provides a local timeline of events from multiple coding agents, with costs, alerts, and search, rather than a Claude Code pane and Codex session dashboard.

## Considerations

The project is new and has no published release; although commits were made recently, measured activity shows one contributor and no recent issue or pull-request closure history. The README reports portable regression tests, but the latest isolation regressions had not been run at the time of its audit. Claude's native plugin API is described as early access, and current native validation and Desktop loading remain unverified. Codex compatibility was checked against specific local CLI and App session records, but its rollout format is not a stable public API. The dashboard excludes ephemeral, remote, archived, and unpersisted sessions and does not provide authentication or remote monitoring. The project is licensed under Apache-2.0.
