I made Claude Code actually show its work on screen (click, type, scroll) — feels way less intimidating than reading terminal output

Description and use

Manoo visualizes Claude Code’s actions—clicks, typing, scrolling—in real time, making learning less intimidating and more intuitive.

Problem

Learning to code via terminal output is intimidating; users need visual feedback of AI actions.

Outcome

Manoo transforms Claude Code from a black-box terminal tool into an interactive learning aid, reducing intimidation and building intuition about AI-driven code execution.

Workflow

• Install Manoo plugin for Claude Code
• Run a Claude Code session
• Manoo captures screen and overlays mouse/keyboard actions
• Observe clicks, typing, scrolling in real time
• Stop Manoo when user takes control of mouse/keyboard

Evidence

I built Manoo — a Claude Code plugin that gives it screenshot + mouse/keyboard control, and splits your screen so you can actually watch it click, type, and scroll in real time, with a glowing cursor so you always know it's Claude moving and not you.
