No Bun. No Python.</p> <p>Currently supports:</p> <ul> <li>Claude Code</li> <li>Codex</li> <li>Gemini</li> </ul> <p>Repo: <a href="https://github.com/nashory/agent-cockpit" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/nashory/agent-cockpit</a></p> <p>I'd love feedback on what agents or metrics I should support next.</p> go cli ai showdev
