4 use cases

  • Watch coding agents work live in a 3D kitchen

    Run Agenttrail Kitchen in your repo to see agent tasks, roles and completed work update as you code.

    View prompt
    In the repo <repo-path>, run `npx agenttrail-kitchen .` and confirm the browser opens at localhost:4780 or the next free port. Report the URL that is shown. Verify that the terminal stays running and that the view is in Live mode, not Example mode.

  • Preview the kitchen interface with scripted example steps

    Explore Agenttrail Kitchen with a labeled scripted example before connecting any real agent.

    View prompt
    In the repo <repo-path>, start Agenttrail Kitchen in example mode and advance through at least three example steps. Report which chef and ticket changed at each step. Verify that the view is labeled as scripted example activity and not as live observation.

  • Map project structure and component progress from PLAN.md

    Use Agenttrail Map to see which components are changing, with progress from a PLAN.md file.

    View prompt
    In the repo <repo-path>, run `npx agenttrail init`, review the setup, and create a starter PLAN.md that uses stable {#id} component values. Report the list of files the setup wrote. Verify that the Map shows each component with its status marker ([~], [x] or [!]) after running `npx agenttrail`.

  • Add Claude Code hooks for session and tool activity

    Connect Claude Code through reviewed hooks so Agenttrail shows session trails and tool activity.

    View prompt
    In the repo <repo-path>, set up Agenttrail Claude Code hooks using the reviewed setup flow, then restart the Claude Code conversation. Report which provider settings files were changed. Verify that a short test task in Claude Code produces visible session activity in the Map or Kitchen view.

How to use Agenttrail

  1. Check you have what it needs: Node.js 20 or newer; A browser with WebGL; A local project folder (a git repo and PLAN.md are optional).
  2. Open sodiumsun/agenttrail on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Open a terminal in the repo you want to watch.
  4. Run npx agenttrail-kitchen .
  5. Wait for the browser to open at localhost:4780 (or the next free port) and keep this terminal open.
  6. Keep working in Codex or Claude Code and watch tickets and chefs update in Live mode.

These steps come from our top use case, Watch coding agents work live in a 3D kitchen, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
