## Why
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
An agent session is a tree, but a terminal shows it as a scroll. Five subagents working in parallel arrive as one interleaved column of text, and the questions you actually have — *what is running right now, what did that subagent do, which one is stuck, what is this costing* — are the ones the scroll answers worst.
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+
agents-deck draws the tree instead. It is read-only, local, and needs no configuration: it registers a hook, listens, and paints.

| **Live DAG** | Nodes are agents, edges are spawns and tool calls. In-flight edges animate, settled ones fade. |
|
|
44
|
+
| **Both providers, one canvas** | Claude Code through hooks, Codex through its rollout log. The model chip (`Opus 5`, `GPT-5.5`) tells them apart. |
|
|
45
|
+
| **Click to inspect** | Any node opens its prompt, tool calls, token usage and timing. |
|
|
46
|
+
| **Cost and quota, live** | Spend per model and per session, plus Claude and Codex quota windows as they refill. |
|
|
47
|
+
| **Survives restarts** | Events are appended to `~/.claude/agent-dag/events.jsonl` and replayed on open. |
|
|
48
|
+
| **Accounts without a terminal** | Sign a new Claude account in, share one to another machine, rename, reorder, remove — from the panel. |
|
|
49
|
+
| **Knows when it is stale** | Node caches modules at startup, so an upgraded-while-running deck keeps executing old code. This one says so, and can restart itself when nothing is running. |

| **Workspace scoping** | `--scope` for the current directory, `--workspace <path>` for any subtree. |

**Claude Code** — on first run
|
|
56
|
+
**Claude Code** — on first run, agents-deck adds a hook entry to `~/.claude/settings.json` for every relevant event:
|
|
39
57
|
|
|
40
58
|
```
|
|
41
59
|
SessionStart · UserPromptSubmit · PreToolUse · PostToolUse · PostToolUseFailure
|
|
42
60
|
SubagentStart · SubagentStop · Stop · SessionEnd · Notification
|
|
43
61
|
```
|
|
44
62
|
|
|
45
|
-
Each
|
|
63
|
+
Each one fires the bundled `hook.js`, which POSTs the event JSON to the running server. The hook is fire-and-forget with a 1-second timeout: if the deck is not running, your session is not slowed down and nothing fails.
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
**OpenAI Codex** — Codex CLI hooks do not fire reliably on Windows, so nothing is installed at all. The server tails Codex's own rollout files at `~/.codex/sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/rollout-*.jsonl` and reconstructs the equivalent stream — session start, prompts, tool calls, token usage, model. No hook install, no trust prompt. Set `CODEX_HOME` to override the path.
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
## Accounts
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
The Accounts panel reads the store [claude-swap](https://pypi.org/project/claude-swap/) keeps, and can drive it.
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
**`+` → Sign in** runs `claude auth login`, shows you the link, takes the code your browser gives back, and hands the result to `cswap add`. The account you were using **stays active** — signing in replaces the live credentials, so the previous one is switched back the moment the new one is recorded. The code goes straight into the CLI's stdin on this machine; it is never stored, logged, or sent anywhere else.
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
**`share`** on an account produces a `ccdeck1:…` blob to paste into another deck's **`+` → Paste a share**.
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
> [!WARNING]
|
|
76
|
+
> A share carries that account's **live login in the clear** — claude-swap's export format has no encryption. It expires ten minutes after it is made and imports refuse it after that. While it lives, treat it like a password: anything that can read your clipboard can read the account.
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
Renaming, reordering and removing are on the same row menu. Removal takes two clicks and cannot be undone.
|
|
79
|
+
|
|
80
|
+
## Updating
|
|
81
|
+
|
|
82
|
+
The deck checks npm for a newer release at most once an hour, plus once when it starts — the request is a ~20-byte GET to `registry.npmjs.org`. Click the version chip in the topbar to ask immediately.
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
What the banner offers depends on how this copy was installed:
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
| Installed as | Offer |
|
|
87
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
88
|
+
| global npm install | **Update now** — runs `npm install -g agents-deck@latest`, then restarts once nothing is running |
|
|
89
|
+
| `npx` | **Update & restart** — re-runs the spec through npx, which fetches a fresh copy and takes over the same port |
|
|
90
|
+
| git checkout | the command, because your working copy leads npm: `git pull && npm run build` |
|
|
91
|
+
| directory not writable | the command — a root-owned prefix is declined up front rather than failing inside npm |
|
|
92
|
+
| `AGENTS_DECK_NO_INSTALL=1` | the command only; you asked for no installs |
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
Nothing is ever installed unless you click, the argument vector is fixed in the server rather than taken from the request, and the command is always on screen — button or no button. If npm fails, the banner shows npm's own last line.
|
|
95
|

|
96
|
+
### Restarting
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
agents-deck runs as a two-process pair: a supervisor that owns nothing but the lifecycle, and the deck itself. When newer code is found, the deck exits with code 75 and the supervisor brings it back **on the port it actually bound**, which is not always the one it asked for. Ctrl+C, stdout and exit codes behave exactly as before — same terminal, same process group.
|
|
46
99
|
|
|
47
|
-
|
|
100
|
+
It restarts on its own only after 30 seconds with nothing running, because hook events are fire-and-forget and anything fired during the gap is lost. The toggle in the banner turns that off; the preference is per-browser. Under `--no-persist` a restart is refused outright — with no event log there is nothing to replay, and the canvas would be gone.
