agent-board

A Claude Code mod that shows what is running right now:

  • Task progress bar above the prompt, fed by the task tools (TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TodoWrite): Tâches ████████░░░░ 2/5 · Running tests, plus how many subagents are still running.
  • Sub-agents side pane, opened as soon as a subagent spawns. One card per subagent: Claude avatar colored by agent type, type and status, task description, model, background or foreground, tokens (input / output / cache), context window fill, estimated cost in USD, and progress (its own task list when it keeps one, otherwise steps, tool calls, last tool and elapsed time).
  • /agent-board reopens the pane.

UI labels are in French.

Install

At the prompt of a Claude Code terminal session:

/plugin install agent-board --marketplace Acrazie/agent-board

Answer y to add the marketplace, then pick a scope (user scope loads it in every session).

Notes

  • Cost is an estimate. Claude Code reports tokens per request but not cost per subagent, so the mod prices tokens with Anthropic first-party list prices (cache writes at 1.25x input), kept in hooks/pricing.ts. On a Pro/Max subscription it is an API-equivalent figure, not what you are billed. A model missing from the table shows ?.
  • Context fill is the prompt size of the subagent's latest request over its model's window.
  • An unrequested pane needs a terminal at least 144 columns wide; below that a toast points to /agent-board.
  • Elapsed time refreshes on each subagent request, not every second.

Develop

The plugin API is early access and may change between Claude Code releases (built against 2.1.293).
