claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: Show agent/subagent task progress in terminal UI (parity with third-party tools) [1 participants]

TL;DR

Enhance the terminal UI to display detailed task and subagent information, similar to third-party tools, by leveraging existing data tracked via TaskCreate and TaskUpdate events.

Guidance

• Review the current UI implementation to identify where task and subagent data is being processed and how it can be integrated into the display.
• Investigate the TaskCreate and TaskUpdate events to understand the structure of the data they provide and how it can be used to populate a task list with status indicators.
• Consider adding a section to the UI to display active subagent names, their status, and elapsed time, enhancing the current output that shows only the agent and a limited subset of information.
• Evaluate the current streaming output to determine how the current tool invocation can be persisted and displayed in a more user-friendly manner during agent runs.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the implementation, but the enhancement could involve modifying the UI rendering logic to include additional fields such as task status, subagent details, and tool invocation information.

Notes

The solution requires access to the UI codebase and an understanding of how data is currently being handled and displayed. The exact implementation details will depend on the technologies and frameworks used in the project.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by enhancing the terminal UI to include the suggested improvements, as there is no indication of a fixed version that addresses this issue. This approach directly targets the user's need for better observability into Claude's work from the official UI.
