Guards

KOZMOS Storyboard: Claude narrates its own progress. A chapter tool the model calls at each phase change drives a band above the prompt: the chapter title, a five-stage rail (explore, plan, build, verify, ship) with the active stage glowing, step 3/5 and a note. /storyboard toggles the band, /storyboard log opens the chapter history.

KOZMOS Switchboard: an MCP observatory sidebar. Every MCP server in the session with its tools, calls, errors, average and p95 latency, last call and a status lamp (healthy, erroring, idle, busy); servers with no calls yet too, and per-tool rows on expand. On the desktop a patch bay with glowing cables to the active servers. /switchboard toggles it.

KOZMOS Taskforge: a live kanban of the session's tasks. TodoWrite lists and TaskCreate/TaskUpdate tasks fall into Pending, In progress and Done columns with the active form, time in the column and the owning agent, under a progress bar. /taskforge toggles the sidebar.

KOZMOS Terminus: the session's shell history in a sidebar. Every Bash and PowerShell call of the main loop and its subagents with command, description, cwd, exit status, duration, output size and who ran it; filters for failed and slow runs, copy and re-run buttons. /terminus toggles it.

KOZMOS Thermal: a heatmap of the files this session touches. Reads, edits, writes and searches per file, a heat score that cools over time, grouped as a directory tree under the session folder: an indented heat tree on the terminal, a squarified treemap on the desktop, switchable by heat, reads or edits. /thermal toggles it.

KOZMOS Throttle: a car dashboard above the prompt. Speedometer of output tokens per second, fuel gauge of the 5-hour limit, temperature of the context, an odometer of session dollars, and check-engine, fuel and overheat lamps. /throttle toggles it.

KOZMOS Tidewater: the live diff of the current turn as tides above the prompt. Every file Claude edits gets its own pool of rolling waves, a green swell for added lines and a red ebb for removed ones, with file chips and totals like '+128 −42 · 6 files'. From the first edit of a turn until the next prompt. /tidewater toggles it.

KOZMOS Toolmarks: badges on tool rows. Each finished call gets a family-colored glyph and its duration at the row's end, Bash calls their exit status, failed calls a red mark, and a folded group its total time and failures. /toolmarks toggles them.

KOZMOS Verdict: test, build and lint results above the prompt. Spots the test runners, type checkers, linters and builds Claude runs (vitest, jest, pytest, go test, cargo, dotnet, mocha, bun, tsc, eslint, npm run build, maven, gradle…), parses pass/fail/skip and error counts, and shows chips like '✓ vitest 142 · ✗ jest 3 failed · ✓ tsc 0 errors' with a red pulse on failures and a sparkline of...

KOZMOS Vitals: a btop-style machine monitor sidebar. CPU with a braille history graph, RAM bar and history, disk use, NVIDIA GPU load, memory and temperature, process count, and the Claude side: session time, tool calls, running agents. Samples every 2 s only while open. /vitals toggles it.

KOZMOS Warden: a guard for destructive shell commands. Before Claude or a subagent runs rm -rf on a broad path, git push --force, reset --hard, clean -fd, DROP TABLE, mkfs, format, curl | sh and their kin, warden asks you (Allow once / Deny) and refuses when no one can answer. A band flashes for 8 s after a block; /warden lists the rules and this session's log.
