A cockpit for Claude Code: plan bars and subagent strips, context, usage limits with reset countdowns and burn rates, spend, the model route and a pet. Six bar styles, three collapsed looks. CLI and Desktop.
What this mod can do
- Reviewed at commit bf43317
- Sees each message added to the conversation and can change it
- Sees each tool call before it runs and can block or change it
- Can approve or deny each tool call before Claude Code asks you
- Sees each subagent before it starts and can stop it or pick its model
- Can hide subagent types from Claude
- Also uses ui.fault, which this page doesn't describe yet
2 more things it can do
- Adds the /flightdeck command
- Runs on Claude Code hooks, such as session start
Good to know (3)
- Needs Claude Code 2.1.289 or later. Below 144 columns the pane opens only when you run /flightdeck.
- On a Team or Enterprise login the permission mode can be missing, and compactions are estimated.
- The VS Code extension may show no pane; run claude in its integrated terminal instead.

Flightdeck: a live agent dashboard for Claude Code. Main model vitals, an on-call architect, every permission check, subagent cards and swimlanes, a turn receipt and a session log, all from real session events

How it works
- /flightdeck opens the pane, or it offers to open at session start in wide terminals
- Reads tool calls, permission verdicts, subagent spawns and token usage as they happen
- Draws a context gauge and cost, a cell per permission check, and a card per subagent
- Logs prompts, edits, errors and denials, and puts context and denials in the status line
Common questions
How can I see what my Claude Code subagents are doing?
This mod shows each subagent as a card with its task, type, context and output tokens, steps and a running clock, and switches to swimlanes on one time axis when the cards no longer fit. Focus the pane with ctrl+x tab and press 1, 2 and so on to expand one.
How do I see which tool calls Claude Code's permission checks denied?
The gate panel draws one cell per permission check: green allowed without asking, blue decided by the auto-mode classifier or you, amber pending, red denied. With the pane focused, f, s or o shows the last 5 file, shell or other checks.
Does it block or change any tool calls?
The README says every hook passes its event on unchanged, so it never denies, rewrites or delays a tool call, a prompt or a subagent.
