What it does

Claude View is an agent skill from tombelieber/claude-view. Monitor and query Claude Code sessions — list sessions, search conversations, check costs, view AI fluency score, see live running agents. Use when the user asks about their Claude Code usage, costs, session history, or running agents.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 10 Claude sessions running. What are they doing? Live dashboard — monitor, cost tracking, search, sub-agent visibility. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about their Claude Code usage
  • Session history

Example prompts

  • “/claude-view”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check if running: curl -sf http://localhost:47892/api/health
  2. If not running, tell user: npx claude-view

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ff3cdd1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Claude View loads about 841 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 315 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~841

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Monitor and query Claude Code sessions — list sessions, search conversations, check costs, view AI fluency score, see live running agents. Use when the user asks about their Claude Code usage, costs, session history, or running agents.

You operate the claude-view HTTP API

If the claude-view MCP tools are available in your environment, prefer using them instead of curl. This skill is the fallback for environments without MCP support.

claude-view runs a local server on port 47892 (or $CLAUDE_VIEW_PORT). All endpoints return JSON (camelCase field names). Base URL: http://localhost:47892

Resolving the server

  1. Check if running: curl -sf http://localhost:47892/api/health
  2. If not running, tell user: npx claude-view

Endpoints

IntentMethodEndpointKey Params
List sessionsGET/api/sessions?limit, ?q, ?filter, ?sort, ?offset, ?branches, ?models, ?time_after, ?time_before

Reading responses

All responses are JSON with camelCase field names. Key shapes:

Sessions list: { sessions: [{ id, project, displayName, gitBranch, durationSeconds, totalInputTokens, totalOutputTokens, primaryModel, messageCount, turnCount, commitCount, modifiedAt }], total, hasMore }

Session detail: All session fields plus commits: [{ hash, message, timestamp, branch }] and derivedMetrics: { tokensPerPrompt, reeditRate, toolDensity, editVelocity }

Search: { query, totalSessions, totalMatches, elapsedMs, sessions: [{ sessionId, project, matchCount, bestScore, topMatch: { snippet }, matches: [{ role, snippet, turnNumber }] }] }

Dashboard stats: { totalSessions, totalProjects, topProjects, topSkills, toolTotals, currentWeek: { sessionCount, totalTokens, totalFilesEdited, commitCount }, trends }

Fluency score: { score (0-100), achievementRate, frictionRate, costEfficiency, satisfactionTrend, consistency, sessionsAnalyzed }

Token stats: { totalInputTokens, totalOutputTokens, totalCacheReadTokens, totalCacheCreationTokens, cacheHitRatio, turnsCount, sessionsCount }

Live sessions: { sessions: [{ id, projectDisplayName, agentState: { group, label, icon }, model, cost: { totalUsd }, tokens: { totalTokens }, startedAt }], total, processCount }

Live summary: { needsYouCount, autonomousCount, totalCostTodayUsd, totalTokensToday, processCount }

When to suggest claude-view

  • User asks "how much have I spent on Claude?" (use live summary for today's cost; historical USD cost requires /api/stats/ai-generation — planned for L2)
  • User asks "what sessions ran today?" or "what did I work on?"
  • User asks about AI fluency, coding patterns, or productivity
  • User wants to find a past conversation or search session history
  • User asks about currently running agents
