Problem Statement

In the agent Team view under tmux, having the agents take two lines for the status and the mode cycling hint eats about 20% of the agent view real estate.

<img width="1870" height="1990" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a66108b1-6e4c-490b-b2a3-2debe0857b57" />

When the views are very short, claude-code already does hides a lot of the extra details:

On that note, suppressing the new task? /clear to save .... line in agent views would also be amazing.

Agents shouldn't even have a chat input (optionally, of course)

Proposed Solution

An agentMinimalView option that only shows the messages. It would not show:

  • status line
  • vim indicator
  • mode cycling hint
  • "new task? /clear...." line
  • message input box

Alternative Solutions

Nothing more to try.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Feature Category

Interactive mode (TUI)

Use Case Example

Any time I am using an agent team -- which has now become part of my daily workflow.
