import { Steps } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';

**claude-view** is an open-source developer tool that monitors Claude Code sessions in real time. Watch token usage, costs, tool calls, and agent state — from your browser or phone.

**Zero config. One command.**

<Steps>
1. **Install** — run `curl -fsSL https://get.claudeview.ai/install.sh | sh` in any terminal
2. **Open** — your browser opens automatically at `http://localhost:47892`
3. **Monitor** — all active Claude Code sessions appear automatically
</Steps>

## What you'll see

- **Session browser** — searchable list of all past and active sessions
- **Mission Control** — live view of running agents with real-time cost tracking
- **Agent Control** — approve/reject tool calls, send messages (with cloud relay)
- **AI Fluency Score** — measure how effectively you collaborate with AI

## Requirements

- macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel) — Linux support in v2.1
- Claude Code installed and running
- Node.js 18+ only needed if using `npx claude-view` (shell install has no dependencies)
