Slowing it down to show the back-and-forth, and to let the viewer absorb and internalize the techniques behind each "prod," is vital!
Mar 2026 · commentThis is amazing for getting new team members onboarded with Claude Code processes and tools I use.

Neat. Would be nice if I could easily drop the replayer into a slack thread.

What hackers pick instead
- ClaudebinA free, open-source tool that shares Claude Code sessions through a single link, so others can see how decisions were made.12recommend
- TracesRecommended for sharing AI agent traces with teammates, giving context alongside pull requests, and passing along prompting insights. No recurring criticisms.11recommend
- Entire CheckpointsRecommended for keeping AI agent session transcripts linked to commits, to see why code was written. Critics say git already does this and the context could be costly.6recommend
- SupaforkLets people share and fork sessions across different AI coding harnesses, which helps those who switch between them. Recommenders describe it as a fix for a workflow bottleneck.6recommend

This will come in handy for a scientific agent I am working on.

Nice to see a AI coding tool that not (complete) vibe coded!

This is exactly what I needed.
