Agent Lens – Code assistant observability in VSCode

Parses local JSONL session files from Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex and surfaces an interactive DAG, per-agent/token metrics, and session replay directly in the activity bar — immediately useful for spotting which agents and skills actually do the work. The Claude cache-token breakdown and timeline replay are clever, concrete features that show the author dug into provider internals; adoption looks small today, but the concept and implementation give real observability where previously there was opacity.
