What’s Agent Doing

See what Claude Code is doing at every step, in plain English, live.

Why

A box above the prompt names the step Claude is on and how long it has been on it. Click ▸ to see every step it has taken.

With today’s models, Claude goes into deep work: bisects, one-off scripts, long chains of flags. For minutes at a time you see a spinner and commands scrolling past, and you can’t easily tell:

what it is trying to do right now,
what that command is for,
whether it’s stuck or just slow.

Install

In Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add tzafrir/whats-agent-doing
/plugin install whats-agent-doing@tzafrir

Or from your shell:

claude plugin marketplace add tzafrir/whats-agent-doing
claude plugin install whats-agent-doing@tzafrir

Then start a new session, or run /reload-plugins. Update later with claude plugin marketplace update tzafrir.

Runs in Claude Code in a terminal, or in the desktop app’s Code tab. The mod is written with Claude Code’s function hooks, which are early access: they load only where function hooks are enabled, and their API may change between releases. Hooks are not loaded in Claude chat or Cowork.
