Internal SmartGift build of a Claude Code monitoring dashboard. Lanes: a durable unit of parallel agent work, one per working directory, tracked across session restarts. Managed lanes are git worktrees the dashboard provisions and can reset or remove behind a three-check destroy guard and a counted preflight; adopted lanes are directories you already own and are never destroyable. Pipelines: a lane moves through pipeline stages. A stage the agent declares with evidence renders green; a stage inferred from the tool-event stream renders dashed amber and never counts as done. Detection is forward-only within a 30-minute window, and never writes the declared stage. Workspace: one page at /run with a lane grid, the selected lane's pipeline, and a full Claude console behind a disclosure.

# Session Compare
|
|
|
|
Compare two Claude Code sessions side-by-side using Agent Monitor data.
|
|
|
|
## Input
|
|
|
|
The user provides: **$ARGUMENTS**
|
|
|
|
This may be:
|
|
- Two session IDs: "abc123 def456"
|
|
- "best vs worst" — compare highest and lowest productivity sessions
|
|
- "latest 2" — compare the two most recent sessions
|
|
- A session ID + "vs average" — compare one session against the baseline
|
|
|
|
## Procedure
|
|
|
|
1. **Identify sessions to compare**:
|
|
- If two IDs given: fetch both from `http://localhost:4820/api/sessions/{id}`
|
|
- If "best vs worst": fetch sessions, score by completion + cost efficiency, pick extremes
|
|
- If "latest 2": `GET /api/sessions?limit=2` (default sort: most recently updated first)
|
|
- If "vs average": fetch session + compute averages from last 50 sessions
|
|
|
|
2. **Gather detailed data** for each session:
|
|
- Session metadata: `GET /api/sessions/{id}`
|
|
- Events: `GET /api/events?session_id={id}`
|
|
- Agents: `GET /api/agents?session_id={id}`
|
|
- Cost: `GET /api/pricing/cost/{id}`
|
|
|
|
3. **Build comparison**:
|

|
### Tool Usage Comparison
|
|
- Tools unique to Session A
|
|
- Tools unique to Session B
|
|
- Shared tools with usage count comparison
|
|
- Error rate per tool in each session
|
|
|
|
### Timeline Comparison
|
|
- Side-by-side event timeline
|
|
- Where sessions diverged in approach
|
|
- Key decision points that led to different outcomes
|
|
|
|
### Agent Activity Comparison
|
|
- Agent counts and types
|
|
- Subagent strategy differences
|
|
- Agent success rates
|
|
|
|
4. **Analysis**:
|
|
- Why one session was more efficient/successful than the other
|
|
- Key decisions that made the difference
|
|
- Lessons to apply to future sessions
|
|
|
|
## Output Format
|
|
|
|
Present as a side-by-side comparison report with:
|
|
- Executive comparison summary (which session was "better" and why)
|
|
- Structured comparison tables with color-coded differences (green = better, red = worse)
|
|
- A "Lessons Learned" section with actionable takeaways
|
|
- Overall winner declaration with justification
