FAQPage Schema
How do I review a peer's coding session transcript?▼

You can review a peer's coding session by generating a digest of the most relevant content from their coding agent's transcript. This summarizes session activities so you can quickly catch up on a team member's progress.

Can I track only new messages in a coding session?▼

Yes, you can track new messages by using the session monitor's read offset tracking. It saves your last read position so follow-up checks surface only new content without re-reading previous transcript history.

Does session monitoring work with Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor?▼

Yes, session monitoring works with Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. You can inspect another coding agent's session transcript across these runtimes by specifying the target runtime and current working directory.

What do I need to monitor coding sessions for a specific project?▼

You need Node.js 22+ and the appropriate CLI tools for your target runtime installed. You then specify the runtime and project directory via command line to start reviewing the session transcript.

What is the best way to keep up with team coding session progress?▼

The best way to keep up with team progress is using a session observer that summarizes transcripts and tracks read offsets. This ensures you stay updated on new messages without manually reading entire session logs.
