Watch a specific run
Point it at any run id and drop straight into the cockpit.

Live output
Streamed logs as steps run, so you see what the agent is doing the moment it does it.
Full-screen TUI monitor
Watch and steer a run, without leaving the terminal.
A detached run used to be a black box you poked at with JSON. The monitor gives you a live cockpit: logs, a timeline, and approval gates in place, plus the power to grab the wheel when an agent gets stuck.

Why this exists
A run you cannot see is a run you cannot trust.
You kick off a long job in the background and then fly blind: polling status commands, grepping JSON, guessing whether it is stuck or just slow, and unable to step in when an agent goes down the wrong path.
What it shows
The whole run, at a glance.
⧗ timeline
Where it is
Every step and its state in one column. Done, running, queued, failed, at a glance.
✓ approvals
Gates in place
When a run pauses for a human answer, approve or reject it right here. It detects the gate for you.
⛘ hijack
Grab the wheel
An agent stuck in a loop? Drop into hijack mode and steer it back on course without killing the run.
⤺ events
Full history
Scroll back through the run's events, even for a run that started before you opened the monitor.
⌨ keys
Keyboard-native
Built on OpenTUI. Move, toggle, approve, and switch modes without ever reaching for a mouse.
How to open it
One command, any run.
Launch and watch at once
Start a workflow interactively and the monitor opens on it as it runs.
$ smithers up --interactive
Stop flying blind on your own runs.
Open the cockpit on any run and watch it, approve it, or steer it, all from the terminal.
