# coding.sh show

Show a session timeline with subagents and latency. Every option of coding.sh show, from its own --help.

coding.sh show --help

```
coding.sh show <SESSION> [options]

  Show a session timeline with subagents and latency

Arguments
  session       Session id, a unique prefix of one (4+ characters, like a git short hash), or 'latest'; or a model call (its id, or <session>#<n>)

Options
  -n, --limit <N>       List the first N events (default 200; a longer session shows as phases)
      --all             List every event, with phase and day lines and derail markers
  -f, --follow          Keep printing new events as a running session goes on (Ctrl-C to stop)
      --fields <PATHS>  With --json: print only these fields, as a comma list of dotted paths (session.id,session.stats.usage,phases). A path through a list picks from each item
      --fresh           Wait for every pending capture to be ingested (default: answer after 1.5 s)

Examples
  coding.sh show latest
  coding.sh show 9f1c2e
  coding.sh show 9f1c2e --all

Notes
  A session with more than 200 events shows one line per phase: the start, each resume, compaction and long idle gap, with where it derailed.
  With --json a session with more than 200 events prints events: [] next to eventCount and phases; --limit N or --all lists the events. An event leaves out sessionId, agent and cwd when they equal the session's. subagents lists the first 50 subagent sessions and subagentCount is how many there are; when more are left, subagentsRest is the command that pages them all (tree --json).
  A model call logged by coding.sh proxy shows its system prompt, tools, settings, cache use, usage and cost (--all: the whole system prompt).
