Ferretlog is a zero-dependency pure Python CLI that treats your Claude Code session logs like a git repository. It parses the raw JSONL logs in `~/.claude/projects/` and gives you git-style history browsing, diff between runs, per-tool-call breakdowns, and cost/token stats — entirely locally, with no network calls and no configuration required. If you've been using Claude Code heavily, you've likely experienced the frustration of losing track of what changed across sessions, what tools were called how many times, and how much each session actually cost across sub-agent calls. Ferretlog makes that history explorable and comparable the same way `git log` makes code history explorable. This is an indie solo project from Eitan Lebras, submitted as a Show HN. It's genuinely useful as a power-user tool for anyone doing serious Claude Code work, especially those managing multi-session agent pipelines where debugging "what did the agent do last time?" is a real pain. The zero-dependency, local-only design means there's no trust surface and no setup friction.

Teams-first multi-agent orchestration for Claude Code

oh-my-claudecode (OMC) is a plugin and CLI framework that adds intelligent multi-agent orchestration to Claude Code. It introduces a staged Team Mode pipeline where 19 specialized Claude agents collaborate on shared task lists—routing simple work to Haiku while sending complex reasoning to Opus—cutting token spend by 30–50% without sacrificing quality. The system ships with magic keywords that unlock escalating levels of autonomy: `ralph` for a persistent task-completion loop, `ulw` for ultra-work mode, and `autopilot` for fully hands-off feature development. A real-time HUD shows active agent count, token burn, and task queue status in your terminal statusline. The framework also supports mixed-model workflows where Claude, Codex, and Gemini agents run concurrently via tmux workers. Built by Yeachan-Heo, OMC reached 23k stars in under a week—largely riding the same wave as its sibling project oh-my-codex. Unlike oh-my-codex (which targets OpenAI's Codex CLI), OMC is tightly integrated with Claude Code's native teams API and memory system, making it the go-to extension layer for Claude Code power users who want true parallel agent pipelines.
Reviewer scorecard
“If you run Claude Code daily, you need this immediately. Being able to diff two sessions like git commits and see exactly which tools fired and what they cost is something that should have existed from day one. Zero-dependency Python means it just works.”
“The smart model routing is the real win here—automatically sending simple tasks to Haiku and complex reasoning to Opus means you stop burning Opus credits on boilerplate. Team Mode with 19 specialized agents sounds like overkill until you're parallelizing a large refactor across six files simultaneously.”
“This is a niche tool for a niche user (heavy Claude Code power users) and the session log format Anthropic uses is undocumented and could change at any update. Tying workflows to internal log parsing is fragile infrastructure — treat it as a convenience, not a dependency.”
“This is a convenience wrapper on Claude Code's existing multi-agent API dressed up with magic keywords and a HUD. The 23k stars are coattail-riding the oh-my-codex viral moment, not evidence of production utility. When Anthropic inevitably ships native orchestration improvements, this entire layer becomes irrelevant.”
“Agent observability tooling built by the community, not the vendor, is how this ecosystem will mature. Ferretlog is primitive but it points at a real gap: we need git-style versioning and auditability for agent sessions, not just for code.”
“We're watching the emergence of a genuine multi-agent development stack in real time. OMC's mixed-model workflows—running Claude, Codex, and Gemini agents simultaneously—preview a future where developers route tasks to the best available model dynamically rather than being locked into one provider.”
“Terminal-only, Claude Code-specific, no visuals — this tool exists entirely outside my workflow. The underlying insight (session replay and cost tracking) is useful, but it needs a UI before it reaches anyone outside the developer community.”
“The real-time HUD with token metrics and agent queue status turns what was an invisible background process into something you can actually reason about and tune. That observability layer alone makes it worth using—you'll quickly learn which workflows are worth the API spend.”
