Problem Statement
While working with claude code I am frequently trying to understand:
- in which situation, claude code came to a certain finding (i.e. while debugging)
- where in the conversation I am reading (when scrolling back)
- what took claude code a lot of time and what less
Proposed Solution
For all these reasons it would be helpfull if claude code's messages in the conversation are time stamped. It makes it easier to reach conclusions on these questions.
