> Watch Claude work in real-time with filtered log output

The live terminal streams every action a Claude agent takes. Open it by clicking the terminal icon on any in-progress task card.

## Log Types

Each log entry has a type that determines its styling and filterability:

| Type          | Icon    | Description                                   |
| ------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `claude`      | Brain   | Claude's reasoning and text output            |
| `tool`        | Wrench  | Tool calls (file read, edit, bash, etc.)      |
| `tool_result` | Check   | Results returned from tool execution          |
| `system`      | Info    | System messages (start, stop, status changes) |
| `error`       | Warning | Errors from the CLI or tool failures          |

## Filters

Use the filter toolbar to show or hide specific log types. This helps you focus on what matters:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="All">
    Shows everything. Default view.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Claude Only">
    See just Claude's reasoning output — useful for understanding its thought process.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Tools Only">
    See file edits, bash commands, and their results — useful for tracking code changes.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Errors Only">
    Quickly spot failures without scrolling through successful operations.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Search

The search bar filters logs by text content. Type a filename, function name, or keyword to find relevant entries instantly.

## Layout Options

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Side Panel" icon="table-columns">
    Terminal opens on the right side of the board. Good for wide screens — view the board and terminal simultaneously.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Bottom Panel" icon="window-minimize">
    Terminal opens at the bottom. Better for narrow screens or when you want full board width.
  </Card>
</Columns>

## Log Persistence

All terminal logs are saved to the database. You can revisit logs for completed tasks by clicking on the task card even after it moves to **Done**.

<Info>Logs stream in real-time via WebSocket using the `task:log` event. The terminal auto-scrolls to the latest entry unless you scroll up manually.</Info>
