Podium v0.3.0 — Zero-token agent observer dashboard
What's new in v0.3.0
🔭 Podium — Agent Observer Dashboard
Maestro now ships with Podium, a real-time observability dashboard for every Claude Code session. Built on a WP Media branded fork of Claude Code Agent Monitor (MIT).
Zero token cost. Hooks fire at the harness level — outside the LLM turn, no context consumed.
Quick start:
```bash
/podium setup # register hooks (once per project, restart CC after)
/podium start # http://localhost:4820
```
What it shows:
- Live agent activity with readable session names (from your first typed message)
- Real-time tool feed — every Bash, Read, Write, Agent call as it happens
- Analytics — token usage by model, tool frequency, cost tracking across all sessions
- Conversation view — reads JSONL transcripts, shows your full chat history
- Health metrics — runtime, storage, cache rate, subagent effectiveness
Design: WP Media gold #FED23A accent, warm linen light theme, navy dark theme, light/dark toggle persisted to localStorage.
🪝 Zero-token hook system
podium/hook.mjs— fires on all Claude Code events, POSTs to dashboard in <1spodium/install.mjs— registers hooks in.claude/settings.json- Works on any project — detects TEMP_ROOT from
maestro.jsonor falls back to.maestro/
📋 New skills
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
/podium setup |
Register Claude Code hooks (once per project) |
/podium start |
Start dashboard at http://localhost:4820 |
/podium stop/restart/status/logs |
Manage the server |
/maestro:onboard-project |
One-command project setup — generates maestro.json, installs hooks |
🚫 HTML log disabled by default
"html_log": false is now the default in maestro.json. The token-expensive workflow-log.html is skipped — Podium replaces it. Set "html_log": true to restore the legacy HTML log.
Breaking changes
None. All existing projects continue to work. Podium is opt-in via /podium setup.
