OpsDeck

Chief of Staff for Claude Code — monitor all your sessions from a single terminal.

Running 8+ Claude Code sessions? Lost track of which one is waiting for you, which one is still working, and which one crashed 20 minutes ago?

OpsDeck gives you a real-time TUI dashboard, a browser-based web dashboard, daily briefs, productivity metrics, cost analytics, and an AI-powered morning summary — all from a single Go binary with zero config.

Install

go install github.com/getopsdeck/opsdeck/cmd/opsdeck@latest

Or download a binary from the releases page.

Requires Go 1.26+ for source builds. No other dependencies.

Quick Start

opsdeck

That is it. No config files, no setup, no flags. OpsDeck finds your Claude Code sessions automatically and starts showing them.

Commands

# Real-time TUI dashboard (default)
opsdeck

# Daily briefing — what happened across all your projects
opsdeck brief
opsdeck brief --since 2h    # last 2 hours only
opsdeck brief --since 48h   # last 2 days

# Productivity metrics — today vs yesterday comparison
opsdeck metrics

# One-line status — for shell prompts or tmux
opsdeck status

# List all sessions — compact overview
opsdeck list               # or: opsdeck ls
opsdeck list --json        # JSON output for scripting

# Cost analytics — powered by ccusage (https://github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage)
opsdeck costs              # delegates to npx ccusage --breakdown
opsdeck costs session      # per-session breakdown
opsdeck costs monthly      # monthly aggregation
opsdeck costs --instances  # per-project breakdown

# AI-powered brief — natural language morning summary (opt-in, costs tokens)
opsdeck ai-brief

# Export brief to markdown file
opsdeck export

# Show dead sessions for cleanup
opsdeck clean

# Resume a session — opens claude --resume in the session's directory
opsdeck resume <session-id>
opsdeck resume 2820          # prefix match

# Watch mode — monitor sessions, alert on state changes
opsdeck watch                # macOS desktop notifications included

# MCP server — let Claude Code query your sessions
opsdeck mcp-serve            # JSON-RPC over stdio
# Register: claude mcp add opsdeck -- opsdeck mcp-serve
# Tools: get_sessions, get_brief, get_costs, get_session_detail

# Web dashboard — browser-based UI with real-time updates
opsdeck web                # opens http://localhost:7070
opsdeck web :8080          # custom port

# Version
opsdeck version

Features

• Auto-discovery -- finds all Claude Code sessions on your machine by scanning ~/.claude/sessions/ and the sessions index
• Real-time status -- classifies each session as busy (active in last 30s), waiting (30s--5min, likely needs you), idle (5min+), or dead (process gone)
• Project grouping -- sessions are grouped by working directory so you can see all sessions for a given project at a glance
• Keyboard driven -- vi-style navigation (j/k), search (/), numeric state filters (1--4), tab to switch views
• Auto-refresh -- dashboard updates every 3 seconds; press r to force
• Zero config -- no YAML, no ENV vars, no API keys
• Read-only -- OpsDeck only reads session data; it never modifies sessions or sends signals to processes
• Local-only -- all data stays on your machine; nothing is sent anywhere
• Web dashboard -- opsdeck web opens a browser-based view with SSE real-time updates, same data, same dark theme

Web Dashboard

Keyboard Shortcuts

Key	Action
j / k	Move cursor down / up
Enter	Toggle detail panel for session
/	Start search
Esc	Cancel search / clear filter
1	Filter: waiting sessions
2	Filter: busy sessions
3	Filter: idle sessions
4	Filter: dead sessions
0	Clear state filter
Tab	Toggle project / flat view
r	Force refresh
q	Quit

How It Works

OpsDeck reads three data sources, all local and read-only:

1. Session files (~/.claude/sessions/<id>/session.json) -- each file contains the session ID, PID, and working directory
2. Sessions index (~/.claude/sessions/sessions-index.json) -- provides summaries and message counts
3. Transcripts (~/.claude/sessions/<id>/transcript.jsonl) -- the last entry's timestamp determines activity recency

Process liveness is checked via kill -0 (macOS/Linux), which only tests whether the PID exists -- it does not send any signal to the process.

State classification:

State	Meaning
BUSY	Process alive, activity within last 30s
WAITING	Process alive, activity 30s--5min ago
IDLE	Process alive, no activity for 5min+
DEAD	Process no longer running

Roadmap

• v0.1 -- Core TUI dashboard + daily brief + productivity metrics
• v0.3 -- Web dashboard with SSE real-time updates
• v0.4 -- Cost analytics: token usage and estimated spend per session
• v0.5 -- AI-powered brief via claude -p (current)

Privacy

OpsDeck reads local session files and checks process liveness via the OS. There is no telemetry and no analytics. All data stays on your machine.

The one exception is opsdeck ai-brief, which pipes session data through claude -p for AI summarization. This is opt-in and clearly marked.

OpsDeck is designed to complement your existing workflow. It does not manage or spawn sessions -- it observes them. Use it alongside claude-squad or on its own.

Cost analytics are powered by ccusage -- the best token usage tracker for Claude Code. Install it with npm i -g ccusage for accurate pricing from LiteLLM. OpsDeck focuses on live session monitoring and operational intelligence; ccusage handles cost tracking.

Requirements

• macOS or Linux (Windows support planned for a future release)
• Claude Code installed (OpsDeck reads its session files)
