Argus – VSCode debugger for Claude Code sessions
by lydionfinance·Mar 7, 2026·34 points·14 comments
AI Analysis
●Mid
Analyzes Claude Code sessions, but mostly visualizes what Claude already logs.
Strengths
- •Real problem: token waste and retry loops in Claude Code sessions are hard to spot
- •Session auto-discovery and real-time monitoring via VS Code sidepanel is smooth UX
- •Cost and performance dashboards give immediate visibility into API inefficiencies
Weaknesses
- •Narrow audience: only useful if actively using Claude Code, which is a single vendor lock-in
- •Feature set is essentially a UI wrapper around Claude's own session logging—no novel analysis or optimization recommendations

Agent Lens – Code assistant observability in VSCode
Parses local JSONL session files from Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex and surfaces an interactive DAG, per-agent/token metrics, and session replay directly in the activity bar — immediately useful for spotting which agents and skills actually do the work. The Claude cache-token breakdown and timeline replay are clever, concrete features that show the author dug into provider internals; adoption looks small today, but the concept and implementation give real observability where previously there was opacity.
