mission-control, a new Claude Code plugin, draws every subagent and file edit live in the terminal

A Claude Code user who hands off a long task normally finds out what the agent actually did by scrolling the transcript afterwards. A plugin called mission-control, released this weekend on GitHub by Hamza Fer, keeps a live pane next to the chat that names every subagent, every tool call and every file the agent reads, writes or finishes. The plugin is MIT-licensed and the repository had 86 stars seven days after launch.

mission-control is the headline item in a bundle called claude-code-mods, which collects a dozen Claude Code plugins written against Anthropic's new plugin API from version 2.1.287. Each plugin takes one task that would otherwise live outside the terminal and pulls it into the session.

What the plugins do

The repository groups the plugins by purpose. In the "see what's happening" group, mission-control draws the live agent and code map, token-weather shows context fill from Clear to Compact and a prompt-cache countdown, where-am-i reports the goal, what the agent is doing now and the next step, next-steps offers two or three likely next prompts after each turn, usage-meter shows 5-hour and 7-day plan usage and the running cost of the current session, agent-radar prints one live line per running subagent, review-watch prints one live line per running code review with the model name and the latest output, and replay-theater steps through the last turn's edits one diff at a time.

A second group guards the repository: blast-radius holds rm -r, force pushes and migrations, shows what would be deleted, and cancels after 60 seconds with no answer. A third group, labelled "for fun", opens YouTube Shorts or a game of Snake in a terminal pane while the agent works.

A fourth set are personal rules the author uses himself and asks forks to adapt: glance shows upcoming meetings and open PRs, merge-gate holds gh pr merge until CI is green and Codex has reviewed the change once, and rulebook-guard rewrites em dashes and asks before git commit --amend on pushed work.

What the project is built on

The plugins depend on Claude Code 2.1.287 or newer, which is the first version that lets a plugin add live UI and hooks to a session. Anthropic announced the plugin API on 2 October 2026. mission-control's code view also needs macOS, Google Chrome and a terminal that paints images, such as Ghostty, kitty or iTerm2; the agent view works in any terminal.

The author previously built cursor-commands, a set of Cursor slash commands with more than 600 stars. The current repository was created on 2 October 2026 and last pushed on 4 October 2026. Hamza Fer notes in the README that the "my setup" plugins depend on gh, Google Calendar, Linear and Slack connectors and are meant to be forked and rewritten against each team's own rules, rather than used as shipped.

The project is early. A dozen plugins in a week is a lot of surface, and the fun and personal groups are explicitly experiments. For a team that already runs Claude Code 2.1.287 and loses time to reading an agent transcript end to end after a run finishes, the live subagent map and the blast-radius guard are the two mods worth trying first.
