5 use cases

  • Follow a running agent session as a live graph

    Watch the main agent, its subagents and their tool calls update live in your terminal.

    View prompt
    In the zoetrope repo (furkankly/zoetrope), install the zoe binary and run `zoe` from the project directory at <project-path> to follow its newest live session. Expected output: a live flow graph showing the main session and any subagents with their current tool. Verify that at least one agent card shows a status and tool count before reporting success.

  • Replay a finished agent run to review its subagents

    Scrub back through a completed session to see each agent and tool call in order.

    View prompt
    Using the zoetrope repo (furkankly/zoetrope), replay the finished session at <session-file-path> with `zoe` and step through each prompt era. Expected output: a graph showing each subagent and its tool calls at the point it ran. Verify that the tool counts fall when you scrub backwards before reporting the review as complete.

  • Print a session's agent tree without opening the TUI

    Dump the session tree to the terminal headlessly for logs, notes or scripts.

    View prompt
    In the zoetrope repo (furkankly/zoetrope), run `zoe inspect` on the session file at <session-file-path> and save the output to <output-file>. Expected output: a printed session tree with the main session and its subagents, written without starting the TUI. Verify that the output file is not empty and lists at least the main session before reporting success.

  • View a session graph in the browser with no install

    Drop a transcript onto the hosted page and get the same graph without installing anything.

    View prompt
    Using the hosted zoetrope app at https://zoetrope.furkankly.dev/app, load the transcript at <transcript-file-path> by dropping it on the page. Expected output: the same agent graph the zoe binary would show for that session. Verify that at least one agent appears in the graph before reporting success.

  • Open the live graph over a Herdr agent pane

    Press one key in Herdr to open the exact session running in a pane as a live graph.

    View prompt
    In the zoetrope repo (furkankly/zoetrope), install the herdr-plugin with the Herdr commands in its README, then focus the agent pane <pane-name> and press prefix+shift+z. Expected output: the live graph of that pane's session opens over the pane. Verify that the graph matches the session running in that pane before reporting success.

How to use Zoetrope

  1. Check you have what it needs: Claude Code or Codex sessions already recorded on the machine (files under ~/.claude/projects/ or ~/.codex/sessions/); Homebrew, a Rust toolchain for cargo install, or a prebuilt binary from the releases page; A terminal for the zoe TUI, or a browser for the hosted app.
  2. Open furkankly/zoetrope on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Install Zoetrope with brew install furkankly/tap/zoetrope (or cargo install zoetrope).
  4. Open a terminal in the project folder where the agent session is running.
  5. Run zoe to follow the current project's newest live session.
  6. Press f to let the camera follow the agent that just did something.

These steps come from our top use case, Follow a running agent session as a live graph, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
