Agent Flow

Real-time visualization of Claude Code agent orchestration — watch your agents think, branch, and coordinate as they work.

Agent Flow visualization

Why Agent Flow?

Claude Code is powerful, but its execution is a black box — you see the final result, not the journey. Agent Flow makes the invisible visible:

  • Understand agent behavior — See how Claude breaks down problems, which tools it reaches for, and how subagents coordinate
  • Debug tool call chains — When something goes wrong, trace the exact sequence of decisions and tool calls that led there
  • See where time is spent — Identify slow tool calls, unnecessary branching, or redundant work at a glance
  • Learn by watching — Build intuition for how to write better prompts by observing how Claude interprets and executes them

Features

  • Live agent visualization — Watch agent execution as an interactive node graph with real-time tool calls, branching, and return flows
  • Auto-detect Claude Code sessions — Automatically discovers active Claude Code sessions in your workspace and streams events
  • Claude Code hooks — Lightweight HTTP hook server receives events directly from Claude Code for zero-latency streaming
  • Multi-session support — Track multiple concurrent agent sessions with tabs
  • Interactive canvas — Pan, zoom, click agents and tool calls to inspect details
  • Timeline & transcript panels — Review the full execution timeline, file attention heatmap, and message transcript
  • JSONL log file support — Point at any JSONL event log to replay or watch agent activity

Getting Started

  1. Install the extension
  2. Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) and run Agent Flow: Open Agent Flow
  3. Start a Claude Code session in your workspace — Agent Flow will auto-detect it

Claude Code Hooks

Agent Flow automatically configures Claude Code hooks the first time you open the panel. These forward events from Claude Code to Agent Flow for zero-latency streaming.

To manually reconfigure hooks, run Agent Flow: Configure Claude Code Hooks from the Command Palette.

JSONL Event Log

You can also point Agent Flow at a JSONL event log file:

  1. Set agentVisualizer.eventLogPath in your VS Code settings to the path of a .jsonl file
  2. Agent Flow will tail the file and visualize events as they arrive

Commands

Command Description
Agent Flow: Open Agent Flow Open the visualizer panel
Agent Flow: Open Agent Flow to Side Open in a side editor column
Agent Flow: Connect to Running Agent Manually connect to an agent session
Agent Flow: Configure Claude Code Hooks Set up Claude Code hooks for live streaming

Keyboard Shortcut

Shortcut Action
Cmd+Alt+A (Mac) / Ctrl+Alt+A (Win/Linux) Open Agent Flow

Settings

Setting Default Description
agentVisualizer.devServerPort 0 Development server port (0 = production mode)
agentVisualizer.eventLogPath "" Path to a JSONL event log file to watch
agentVisualizer.autoOpen false Auto-open when an agent session starts

Requirements

  • VS Code 1.85 or later
  • For auto-detection: Claude Code CLI with active sessions
