Problem Statement

When claude runs long horizon tasks, I have to check the respective log files from time to time.

Proposed Solution

It would be very cool if claude was able to configure progress views or sliders, that display the live progress from the task.

I assume this could be done by enforcing a specific stdout format, like a progress float and then a task label, or something.

Use Case Example

  1. Claude starts a long running task, I wonder how long it takes
  2. Claude displays a live progressview, mirroring the progress of the running job
  3. I can directly see how long the task may take, how far its done, directly in chat
