Problem Statement
When using Claude Code with multiple agents (system or project), it's difficult to identify which agent is currently handling the task during execution.
This creates confusion because:
- Users cannot easily tell which AI model/agent is responding
- When switching between tasks or contexts, there's no clear visual indicator of the active agent
- Debugging and troubleshooting become harder when you can't identify which agent produced specific outputs
- It's challenging to understand which agent's capabilities are being used for different parts of a workflow
Proposed Solution
Add a persistent visual indicator in the Claude Code interface that clearly displays:
- Agent Name Badge: A visible label/badge showing the current active agent
- Location Options: - Status bar at the bottom of the interface
- Header/title bar area
- Chat input area near the prompt
- Visual Design:
- Color-coded badges for different agents
- Icon/avatar associated with each agent
- Tooltip on hover showing agent capabilities/model details
- Agent Switching Indicator: When the active agent changes during a session, show a clear notification or transition animation
This would allow users to always know which AI agent is handling their current request and make it easier to understand the context of responses.
