 "summary": "Translate an existing Claude session's tokens from the side without installing the hook.",
 "who": "A developer who wants to read a Claude session in English without changing how Claude Code is configured.",
 "problem": "The developer does not want to modify Claude Code's hooks, but still wants the session's output rewritten for easier reading.",
 "outcome": "The developer sees a translated stream of Claude's output for a chosen session, or for the latest one.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Llama.app or Ollama and get a local model running, as described in the README.",
  "Run `go install github.com/zachahn/vomit@latest`.",
  "Run `vomit list` to see Claude session identifiers.",
  "Run `vomit tail [ ]` with a session identifier from the list, or with no identifier to follow the latest session."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the zachahn/vomit repo, run `vomit list` to show Claude session identifiers, then run `vomit tail` for the session <session-id>, or for the latest session if none is given. Report the session ID you followed and confirm that translated output is printed. Verify that the output reads as plain English rather than raw Claude tokens.",
