Description

A well-designed desktop app that provides detailed observability into your Claude Code sessions by analyzing the session logs. Provides turn-based context data across numerous categories, compaction visualization, subagent execution trees, and custom notification triggers. Easy to install, and nice visual design.

Validate Claims

Install via brew install --cask claude-devtools (or download from GitHub releases). Open the app — it auto-discovers your Claude Code projects from ~/.claude/ with zero configuration. Pick any recent session and you'll immediately see structured tool calls, diffs, and token breakdowns that the CLI hides behind summary text like "Read 3 files" or "Edited 2 files".

Specific Task(s)

Run any Claude Code session in your terminal (e.g., ask Claude to refactor a file), then open claude-devtools and select that session. Compare what the terminal showed you vs. what the app shows — full file paths, syntax-highlighted code, inline diffs, and per-turn token attribution.

Specific Prompt(s)

No prompt needed — claude-devtools is not a Claude Code extension. It's a standalone viewer. Just open it after (or during) any Claude Code session and browse the reconstructed execution trace.
