Claude Code's Agents View dashboard manages multiple sessions

Chase AIgo watch the original →

Run 'claude agents' to open a dashboard that shows needs input, working, and completed Claude Code sessions; click to enter, spacebar to peek/reply, Ctrl+X to delete.

The Breakthrough

Claude Code released Agents View, a dashboard that consolidates multiple terminal sessions into one window with sections for needs input, working, and completed.

What Actually Worked

  • Users run claude agents in the terminal to open the dashboard and view all active sessions.
  • Sessions appear in three sections: needs input, working, and completed; users click a session to open its full terminal view and use the left arrow key to return to the dashboard.
  • Users mouse over a session and press spacebar to peek at elapsed time, history, and reply inline without fully entering the session.
  • Users mouse over a session and press Ctrl+X to delete it after confirmation.
  • Users background a session in another terminal with /bg to pull it into the dashboard; closing and reopening claude agents restores all sessions; users start new sessions directly from the dashboard.

Context

Developers often juggle multiple Claude Code terminal sessions across windows and forget about backgrounded ones without visual tracking. Anthropic added Agents View to let users monitor and interact with all sessions from one place without losing state on exit. The video demos setup and use in under two minutes.

Notable Quotes

  • "Think of this as a dashboard where I can see everything that's going on and respond to anything that's going on."
  • "It's like poking my head into the room and saying 'Hey what's going on?' 'Okay cool do X Y and Z.'"
  • "If you don't visually see it you tend to forget about it."
