Claude Esp — Git skill for Claude Code

claude-esp

[](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/phiat/claude-esp)

Stream Claude Code's hidden output (thinking, tool calls, subagents) to a separate terminal in real-time.

Looking for the Rust port? See: [claude-esp-rs](https://github.com/phiat/claude-esp-rs)

The Problem

When using Claude Code interactively, tool outputs and thinking are collapsed by default and require pressing `Ctrl+O` to toggle visibility. This tool lets you watch all that output in a **separate terminal** with a nice TUI, without interrupting your main Claude Code session.

Features

• Multi-session support - Watch all active Claude sessions simultaneously
• Hierarchical tree view - Sessions with nested Main/Agent nodes
• Real-time streaming - See thinking, tool calls, and outputs as they happen
• Subagent tracking - Automatically discovers and displays subagent activity
• Background task visibility - See background tasks (⏳/✓) under spawning agent
• Filtering - Toggle visibility of thinking, tools, outputs per session/agent
• Auto-scroll - Follows new output, or scroll freely through history

Requirements

• Go 1.23 or later
