Claude Code’s new Agents View lets you monitor and interact with multiple Claude Code terminal sessions from a single, lightweight dashboard—drastically reducing tab‑switching and context‑loss for multi‑task developers.
Anthropic has added a visual “dashboard” to Claude Code that aggregates all active / background sessions, categorises them (Needs input · Working · Completed), and lets you peek, reply, or terminate each session without leaving the dashboard.
All sessions in one pane – The dashboard displays every active Claude Code session (six shown in the demo) and groups them by status, letting you jump straight to any terminal with a click. 1
Instant peek & reply – Hovering over a session and pressing Space shows elapsed time, recent output, and a reply box, effectively “poking your head into the room.” 1
Easy deletion – Press Ctrl X on a hovered session to delete it after confirmation, keeping the workspace tidy. 1
Background‑to‑dashboard import – Running /bg (background) in a separate Claude Code window pulls that session into the dashboard automatically. 1
Persistence across closures – Closing the dashboard window does not terminate the underlying sessions; re‑launching claude agents restores the same view. 1
Full‑cycle workflow – New sessions can be started directly from the dashboard (e.g., “create a landing page”), meaning you could theoretically stay inside the dashboard for an entire coding day. 1
Cognitive load reduction – By visualising all active agents, the feature mitigates the “forgotten‑session” problem that occurs when many terminal windows are open simultaneously. 1

⚠ UNVERIFIED — Claude Code now includes an “Agents View” dashboard.
The feature is demonstrated in the video, but independent documentation from Anthropic confirming its release as of 2026‑05‑11 was not located via a quick web search. The claim is plausible given Anthropic’s recent product updates, but cannot be independently verified at this time.
For solo developers: Consolidating terminals saves time and reduces mental overhead when juggling several prompts or background tasks.
For AI‑tooling teams: The dashboard demonstrates a user‑centric UI layer that could be replicated for other LLM‑powered CLIs, enhancing adoptability.
For product managers: Highlighting visual session management may become a key differentiator for AI‑assistant platforms competing on usability.
