01What Claude Agent View Is and How It Works

Claude Agent View is a new feature in Claude Code that shows every running AI agent in one clean list. Instead of juggling five or six terminal tabs, you get a single window where you can see what is active, what is finished, and what needs your attention. This makes it much easier to manage multiple agents without losing track.

The feature runs as a research preview inside the terminal, not the desktop app. You can dispatch several sessions at the same time, each working on a different task, and check on them from one place. If an agent is waiting for your input, you can click into that session, reply, and then press left to go back to the list.

This saves time and reduces the mess of having many terminal windows open.

02Main Features of Claude Agent View

Claude Agent View brings several useful features for anyone running multiple AI agents. The biggest change is parallel sessions. You can start several tasks at once, and each one runs in its own session under the same terminal window.

This is much more organized than using separate terminal tabs.

  • One window for all agents – every session appears in a single list.
  • Status labels – see which agents are active, finished, or waiting.
  • Peek and reply – click any session to see its output or give a response, then go back to the list.
  • Auto mode – agents can work autonomously without you handling each step.
  • Completed status – finished tasks show a clear indicator so you can review results quickly.
  • Scale sessions – run more concurrent agents than before, each with its own skill set.

03How to Set Up and Start Using Claude Agent View

Setting up Claude Agent View is straightforward. You run it inside the terminal, not the desktop app. Follow these steps to get started:

  1. Open your terminal and type Claude agents to launch the agent view.
  2. Press the left arrow key from any session to open the main agent list.
  3. Create a new task by typing a command like keyword research for AI SEO. The agent starts working in the background.
  4. Add more tasks by typing another command, for example create a simple HTML landing page. Each task appears as a separate session in the list.
  5. Click any session to see its full terminal output. If the agent is waiting for a decision, type your reply there.
  6. Press left arrow to go back to the main list and check another session.
  7. When a task finishes, its status changes to completed. Click it to review the result.

04How to Use Claude Agent View in Real Workflows

In the episode, Julian shows a real workflow with three tasks running at the same time. He starts by typing keyword research for AI SEO into the agent view. That agent starts collecting keywords in the background.

Without waiting for it to finish, he types create a simple HTML landing page. A second agent begins building the page. Then he adds a third task: create an AI SEO calculator for organic keywords.

All three agents run in parallel inside one terminal window.

While they work, Julian can click any session to peek at the output. For example, he clicks the keyword research session to see what terms the agent has found. If an agent hits a question and needs his input, he replies right inside that session.

He then presses left to return to the main list. When the landing page task finishes, the status says completed. He clicks it to view the HTML file that was created while he was talking.

This workflow shows how you can dispatch multiple tasks and manage them all from one place without switching tabs.

05Results and Comparisons Shown in the Episode

Julian demonstrates that the agent view makes work faster and more organized. He compares it to the old way of having five or six terminal tabs open. With tabs, you easily lose track of which agent is doing what.

Sometimes an agent crashes and you do not even know it. With agent view, every session is visible, and completed tasks have a clear status. You never miss a finished job.

He also compares Claude Code to other tools. Codex has a totally different UI and tends to run out of credits quickly, even on a pay plan. Hermes Agent is open source and lets you switch between APIs, while Claude Code is paid.

For front‑end design, Julian says Claude is the best, but Hermes can do a good job too. The key difference is that agent view gives you one clean list, which is much easier to manage than multiple tabs.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

When using agent view, keep a few tips in mind. First, agents can run in auto mode, meaning they make decisions without you. This is great for background tasks, but check on them occasionally so you do not miss a question.

Second, if a task runs very long and uses a lot of context, you can type forward slash compact inside the session to reduce the context window. This prevents slowdowns.

Avoid the mistake of thinking you cannot run many agents at once. The agent view is built for scaling. You can dispatch several tasks and projects at the same time, each paired with a skill.

For example, you could have agents managing other agents. Just be aware that compact can lose some details on huge tasks. To save context, tell your agents to write key notes into a tool like Obsidian.

That way, all your agents share the same notes and you never lose important information.

07Who Claude Agent View Is For and Why It Matters

Claude Agent View is for anyone who runs multiple AI agents regularly. If you do keyword research, write content, build websites, or use agents for SEO tasks, this feature saves you time. Instead of managing five terminal tabs and hoping nothing crashes, you get one window with everything visible.

This lets you focus on the actual work instead of babysitting agents.

It matters because it changes how you scale your productivity. You can run several agents in parallel, check their status at a glance, and review completed tasks instantly. Agents can even manage other agents in the background.

For example, an agent can run your Hermes setup while another agent builds a landing page. This kind of coordination was messy before. Now it is clean and simple.

Whether you are a solo creator or part of a team, agent view helps you get more done in less time.
