Automated excerpt
You hit enter, the agent starts "thinking," and for the next 15 to 45 seconds you're left watching a blinking cursor that gives you nothing β not a percentage, not a heartbeat, nothing. It's not random per run; it's a fingerprint for the project you're in. πͺ Agent hooks (recommended) β starts the moment you submit a prompt, stops the moment the agent finishes. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, and Qwen Code. π MCP β for clients without a hook system, like Claude Desktop and Antigravity.
