Your Claude is coding blind.
See everything it did — every file path, tool call, and token — from the session logs already on your machine.
Claude Code started hiding what it does.
Since v2.1.20, detailed output was replaced with opaque summaries. The community backlash was immediate. But the problem goes deeper.
All invisible in the terminal. The only option is --verbose, which dumps thousands of lines of raw JSON noise.
Not a wrapper. Doesn't touch Claude Code.
Reads ~/.claude/ — the session logs already on your machine. Works with every session you've ever run, from any tool.
What you're missing
Claude Code's terminal summaries strip out the details. claude-devtools puts them back.
Key Features
Context Reconstruction
Per-turn token attribution across 7 categories — CLAUDE.md (global, project, directory), skill activations, @-mentioned files, tool I/O, thinking, team overhead, user text. Visualizes how your context fills, compresses during compaction, and refills — so you can see exactly what was in the window at any point.
Tool Call Inspector
Syntax-highlighted Read calls, inline Edit diffs, Bash output, and full subagent execution trees. Every collapsed "Read 3 files" expanded.
Team & Subagent Trees
Isolated execution trees per agent with their own tool traces, token metrics, duration, and cost. Nested agents render as recursive trees.
Notification Triggers
System notifications with built-in alerts for .env file access, tool execution errors, and high token usage. Add regex triggers for sensitive paths (for example payment/billing files), match specific tool fields, set input/output/total token thresholds, and filter by trigger color.
SSH Remote Sessions
Inspect sessions on any remote machine over SSH. Reads ~/.ssh/config, supports agent forwarding and key auth. Switch between local and remote instantly.
Command Palette
Cmd+K opens cross-session search. Results show context snippets with highlighted keywords. Navigate directly to the exact message.
Multi-Pane Layout
Open multiple sessions side-by-side. Drag-and-drop tabs between panes, split views, compare sessions in parallel.
Download claude-devtools
No API keys. No configuration. Just download, open, and see everything Claude Code did.
brew install --cask claude-devtoolsdocker compose upReads from ~/.claude/ — the session logs Claude Code already writes.
