What it does
Flightdeck adds a live panel to the Claude Code terminal. The `main` panel shows the model, permission mode, request count and a context gauge with compaction marks. `architect` plots advisor consultations over time, `gate` draws one cell per permission check, and `agents` shows subagents as cards or swimlanes on one time axis. `loops` collects loops without cards, and `receipt` reports turn duration, edits, errors and cost added. Every number comes from a real session event. The mod only observes: hooks pass events on unchanged and never deny, rewrite or delay calls. It makes no network requests and writes no files.
Who it is for. Claude Code users who run subagents and want to see context spend and turn cost without leaving the terminal.
Good fit when
- The session runs several subagents and cards with their context, steps and time are needed.
- Permission check statistics are needed: how many were allowed at once and how many denied.
- You need to know what the last turn cost and how many edits it made.
- The panel should dock beside the transcript, and in normal mode show a summary of up to eight rows.
Not a fit when
- Claude Code is older than 2.1.289: the mod needs a newer client.
- Exact cost is needed under a Team or Enterprise login: the permission mode may be missing and compactions are estimated.
- A tool that blocks calls is needed: Flightdeck only observes.
Example request
Install Flightdeck, run `/flightdeck` and show which panels are visible and what they reflect after my next request.Limitations
Claude Code 2.1.289 or newer with mod support is required; mods are early access and their API can change between releases. Under a Team or Enterprise login and in environments with managed settings the permission mode may be undetectable. Window compactions are then estimated. Time to first token includes the hooks of other plugins, the network and retries. State lives only within the session and nothing is kept across sessions. The repository is small and its latest commit is dated November 2026.
How to disable. Run `/plugin uninstall flightdeck@claude-flightdeck` and then remove the `claude-flightdeck` marketplace. The mod writes nothing to disk, so there is nothing to clean up after it.
FAQ
How do I install Flightdeck?
In Claude Code run `/plugin marketplace add scasella/claude-flightdeck`, `/plugin install flightdeck@claude-flightdeck`, `/reload-plugins`, then `/flightdeck`. From a terminal the `claude plugin marketplace add` and `claude plugin install` commands work.
Does the mod affect Claude work?
No, it only observes. Hooks pass each event on as is, and the mod never denies, rewrites or delays tool calls, prompts or subagents.
What does the gate panel show?
One cell per permission check: green for allowed without asking, blue for decided by the classifier or you, amber for pending and red for denied.
Where do the numbers come from?
From session events such as `turn.step`, `tool.call` and `turn.complete`. Estimated values are marked, for example compactions carry a tilde sign.
How do I try the mod without installing?
Clone the repository and run `claude --plugin-dir ./claude-flightdeck`: the mod loads for one session.
