Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor

Session Debug

Debug and inspect a Claude Code session from Agent Monitor data.

Input

The user provides: $ARGUMENTS

This may be:

• A session ID to debug
• "latest" or "last" for the most recent session
• "errors" to find and debug the most recent errored session

Procedure

1. Identify the target session:
2. If session ID given: GET /api/sessions/{id} from http://localhost:4820
3. If "latest": GET /api/sessions?limit=1 (default sort: most recently updated first)
4. If "errors": GET /api/sessions?limit=10&status=error

1. Collect full session data:
2. Session metadata: status, model, cwd, timestamps, duration
3. Events: GET /api/events?session_id={session_id} — full event timeline
4. Agents: GET /api/agents?session_id={session_id} — all agents in session
5. Cost: GET /api/pricing/cost/{session_id}

1. Analyze the session:

### Session Lifecycle

• Start time → first event → last event → end time
• Status transitions (active → working → completed/error)
• Total duration and active-vs-idle time

### Event Chain Analysis

• Chronological event list with timestamps and durations
• Identify the critical path (longest chain of dependent events)
• Flag events that took unusually long
• Highlight error events with full error context

### Agent Inspection

• List all agents: type, task, status, duration
• Subagent tree visualization (parent → children)
• Agents that failed and their last known state
• Agent switching patterns (when and why new agents spawned)

### Tool Execution Trace

• Every tool invocation in order with: tool name, duration, success/failure
• Failed tool calls with error messages
• Tool retry patterns (same tool called multiple times)

### Anomaly Detection

• Events out of expected order
• Gaps in event timeline (>30s with no events)
• Duplicate events or agent states
• Token usage spikes (compaction indicators)

1. Diagnosis:
2. Root cause hypothesis (if errors present)
3. Contributing factors
4. Remediation suggestions

Output Format

Present as a debug report with:

• Session summary header (ID, status, model, duration, cost)
• Color-coded timeline (✅ success, ❌ error, ⚠️ warning, ℹ️ info)
• Agent tree diagram
• Diagnosis section with numbered findings
