About claude-devtools

claude-devtools is an innovative open-source utility designed for developers working with Claude Code. Unlike traditional GUI wrappers, it doesn't modify or run Claude sessions; instead, it meticulously reads existing session logs stored locally. This enables developers to see the hidden details that the CLI typically conceals, such as file paths accessed, tools invoked, diffs applied, and token usage. The tool reconstructs these interactions into a comprehensive visual timeline, complete with context attribution, subagent execution trees, and compacted visualizations. Its ability to analyze every session retrospectively makes it an invaluable resource for debugging, auditing, and understanding complex interactions with Claude Code. Because it operates locally and is open source, it appeals to privacy-conscious developers seeking a transparent, detailed insight into their AI workflows.
