Agent Monitor is a free, open-source IDE extension that shows what your coding agents covered, what they skipped, and what they’re looking at.
The Hook
“Introducing Agent Monitor, a free extension for your IDE that shows what your coding agents are actually working on. When you're running several agent chats at once, it's easy to lose track of what each one has actually covered, what they skipped, and what they're looking at.”
Product Reveal
“Agent Monitor gives you two views: Focus Areas and Images. First, Focus Areas. Every chat is scored across 13 engineering areas, like Security, Testing, and Documentation. So you can tell, at a glance, what's been reviewed, and what's been skipped. That frees you to focus on shipping features, with the right scope covered in every chat. Agent Monitor reads tool calls and shell commands like a developer, so it's fast, accurate, and cheap to run.”
Feature Teaser
“This chat has done plenty of security work, but no testing. One click on Focus here tells it what to cover next. Its following tool calls show up right here, so you can confirm it actually followed through. So you're never just trusting a number. Agent Monitor also flags sensitive changes, like migrations, secrets, or authentication — so reviewers never have to remember to look. Built-in areas cover general engineering. But your product has its own risks, like checkout or billing. Your agent can draft a custom area from your real repo, and it only counts once you approve it.”
Call to Action
“Second, Images. Every screenshot and image a chat looks at is kept here, in order. What it viewed matters just as much as what it changed. Agent Monitor is a free, open-source extension for VS Code and Cursor. Get it today.”
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the developer-tool-showcase-dark template.
A smooth, controlled zoom into specific sections of an IDE interface, highlighting relevant code, chat logs, or UI panels. This often involves a slight camera pan to center the focus area.
Use `interpolate` for camera position (x, y) and scale, with a `spring` function for easing. Implement `AbsoluteFill` for the base IDE screen and `Sequence` for timed zooms. Utilize `OffthreadVideo` for the base IDE footage and `AbsoluteFill` with `z-index` for overlaying UI elements and text.
Interactive UI elements like progress bars, text fields, and buttons animate to simulate user interaction and data updates. This includes filling progress bars, typing text, and button click feedback.
Employ `interpolate` for `width` or `opacity` properties of progress bars and text elements. Use `spring` for button press animations (scale, opacity). Text typing can be achieved with `Sequence` and `Character` components, revealing text character by character.
Code or terminal commands appear line by line or word by word within a dark, rounded rectangular container, often accompanied by explanatory comments.
Use `Sequence` to reveal lines of code or words with a `spring` or `linear` interpolation for `opacity` and `y` position. The container can be a simple `AbsoluteFill` with `borderRadius` and a dark background color. Text can be rendered using a `Code` component or simple `Text` components with a monospace font.
Purpose. Immediately establish the core problem developers face with coding agents and introduce Agent Monitor as the solution.
Execution. Logo reveal followed by a slow zoom into a busy IDE, visually representing the complexity Agent Monitor aims to simplify.
Purpose. Explain Agent Monitor's primary functionality for tracking agent coverage and identifying gaps.
Execution. Dynamic UI animations showcasing the 'Focus Areas' panel, with progress bars filling and categories updating, interspersed with code snippet breakdowns of how the tool works.
Purpose. Demonstrate the tool's interactive capabilities, sensitive change flagging, and custom area creation.
Execution. Simulated user interaction with 'Focus here' buttons, expanding detail views, and form filling for custom focus area creation, emphasizing control and flexibility.
Purpose. Highlight the 'Images' feature for visual context and provide clear instructions on how to access the tool.
Execution. Transition to the 'Images' tab with scrolling previews, concluding with a static screen displaying download links and the product tagline.
Objective
A new CLI tool called 'DataFlow Debugger' that visualizes data pipelines and identifies bottlenecks.How the recipe adapts
The IDEFocusZoom primitive would adapt to zoom into different sections of the DataFlow Debugger's terminal output, highlighting specific data nodes or error logs. DynamicUIPanelHighlight would be used for interactive elements within a web-based dashboard that accompanies the CLI, showing real-time data flow and bottleneck indicators. CodeSnippetReveal would demonstrate example CLI commands for debugging and configuration, with animated output showing data transformations. The dark theme and smooth transitions would be maintained, focusing on clarity for complex data visualizations.Scene durations (4 scenes, 87s)

AI is already smart enough. Real-world tasks are still slow, expensive and unreliable, because we hand AI a computer built for humans, then wrap it in a heavy harness. AI doesn’t need to get smarter
Big day 🔥 🚀 Introducing Dolphin AI - an agentic AI studio for complete video production. The story of Dolphin is very interesting. It didn’t start as a product. It started as an internal tool. W
