Agent View

Agent View

One panel for every AI chat in your VS Code window. Claude Code and Codex conversations become rows in a tree view — live status, context size, API-equivalent cost, running subagents — with your account's rate-limit windows drawn as bars above them.


What the rows show

Element	Meaning
450k/1.0M	Context in play vs the model's window — the last request's input + cache
$12.34	What the session's tokens (subagents included) would bill at list API rates. A Claude subscription is not billed this way; it is a what-if figure
blue ● badge	The agent is working right now
orange ? badge	The agent asked a question and is blocked on your answer
green ● badge	The agent replied and you have not read it yet. Clears when you look at the tab, or when you reply
⟳ child rows	Subagents working in the last 2 minutes, with per-agent model, tokens and cost. Codex subagents appear the same way, named by the nickname Codex gave them
🕘 rows	Chats whose tab was closed; click to reopen the session

Hover any row for the full breakdown (model, turns, cache reads/writes, reset times).

Layout

On first run the extension moves the panel to the left of the editor and opens itself there — files, then chats, then the chat you are working in. That is a one-time move; drag things wherever you like afterwards. Two palette commands cover the rest: **Agent View: Show Chats Panel** brings the view back if it gets closed, and **Agent View: Arrange as Left Column** restores the layout. *View: Move Panel to Bottom* undoes it.

Buttons

Claude logo — new Claude chat as an editor tab. History icon beside it — reopen any past Claude session. Codex logo — new Codex agent, placed next to your chats. Second history icon — open any past Codex conversation in a tab. Refresh — re-read everything and refetch usage.

Quiet timeline (optional)
