Understand what your coding agent is doing at a glance.
Eagle View adds a small widget above the OMP editor. It watches the session and explains the current work in one short sentence.
Long sessions and complex tasks can sometimes leave you wondering what on earth it is doing right now?
OMP already shows the agent's todo plan, but when the plan looks like this it's not much comfort:
Eagle View watches the session activity and todo progression, then translates the important parts into short, everyday English. It keeps the useful context while leaving the abstract terminology behind.
- Plain-language summary updates
- A quiet two-line widget above the editor
- Automatic summaries only when the work has changed
- A scrollable message history when you want to catch up
- Configurable timing, icon, tone, and model
Open /eagle-view inspect for a timestamped history of accepted updates. The newest message stays at the top, new updates appear live, and consecutive exact repeats collapse into one entry:
Install directly from GitHub:

Examples:
# Use a different icon
omp plugin config set omp-eagle-view icon "✦"
# Change the voice
omp plugin config set omp-eagle-view prompt \
"Keep it warm, brief, and easy for anyone to understand."
# Choose a model
omp plugin config set omp-eagle-view model "openai/gpt-5-mini"Reset a setting to its default:
omp plugin config delete omp-eagle-view intervalMinutesSettings are loaded when an OMP session starts or switches. Project settings override global settings.
Eagle View sends a small, bounded snapshot of recent activity to the selected model. It does not read or send raw tool results, generic structured tool arguments, partial tool results, or stored transcripts.
Todo task operations are the only structured-input exception. Eagle View reads their labels and states so it can report progress accurately.
Message history and progression state stay in memory and reset with the session. Narration requests use your active provider credentials and may incur provider usage or cost. Eagle View avoids repeat requests when the work has not changed.
