How to follow a Claude session with translated output with Vomit

Translate an existing Claude session's tokens from the side without installing the hook.

Short answer: Install Llama.app or Ollama and get a local model running, as described in the README; then run go install github.com/zachahn/vomit@latest; run vomit list to see Claude session identifiers. All steps.

Who it is forA developer who wants to read a Claude session in English without changing how Claude Code is configured.

The problemThe developer does not want to modify Claude Code's hooks, but still wants the session's output rewritten for easier reading.

The outcomeThe developer sees a translated stream of Claude's output for a chosen session, or for the latest one.

What you need first

  • Go toolchain, so `go install` works
  • Claude Code installed
  • A local LLM server such as Llama.app or Ollama, with a model downloaded
  • A Mac, since the README says it was only tested on Mac

Steps

  1. Install Llama.app or Ollama and get a local model running, as described in the README.
  2. Run go install github.com/zachahn/vomit@latest.
  3. Run vomit list to see Claude session identifiers.
  4. Run vomit tail [ ] with a session identifier from the list, or with no identifier to follow the latest session.

Prompt for your agent

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.

Caveat. The README marks this non-invasive mode as deprecated, so it may change or be removed.
