Feature Request: Visualize Claude's Working Progress

[sonichi]

Summary

Add functionality to visualize and track Claude's working progress in real-time during task execution.

Motivation

When Claude is working on complex tasks, it would be helpful to have a visual representation of:

• Current task being executed
• Progress percentage or status
• Steps completed vs remaining
• Time elapsed
• Any errors or warnings encountered

Proposed Solution

Implement a progress visualization system that could include:

1. Real-time Status Display

   • Show current operation (e.g., "Reading files", "Analyzing code", "Running tests")
   • Display progress indicators for long-running operations
   • Update in real-time as tasks progress

2. Task Breakdown

   • List of sub-tasks or steps
   • Visual indicators (✓ complete, ⏳ in progress, ⭕ pending)
   • Estimated time remaining (if applicable)

3. Logging & History

   • Maintain a log of completed operations
   • Timestamps for each step
   • Ability to review what Claude did during execution

Benefits

• Better understanding of what Claude is doing
• Easier to spot when something is stuck or taking too long
• Improved transparency in agent operations
• Enhanced debugging capabilities

Additional Context

This feature would be particularly useful for:

• Long-running tasks (builds, tests, large refactorings)
• Multi-step operations
• Background processes
• Agent workflows
