Set the live-feed verbosity

When you watch a task in a live or follow session, the verbosity (density) dial decides how much of the agent’s work the feed shows. It has two values:

  • Reduced — the default. A calm feed: the agent’s answer, the PR or result, the terminal and completion lines, media, your interventions, and memory lines. It suppresses the agent’s step-by-step thinking and the tool-call detail.
  • Chatty — the full feed: everything Reduced shows plus the agent’s thinking and the complete tool detail.

The setting is persistent and layered. A per-linked-chat-account override (set on Telegram or Discord) sits over your user default (set on the web terminal), which falls back to Reduced:

account override (Telegram / Discord)
?? user default (web terminal)
?? reduced

So you can keep a lean web feed but a chatty Telegram feed — or the reverse — and a brand-new account with nothing set resolves to Reduced.

The web terminal’s density command sets your user default — the value every new session opens at when no chat-account override applies.

  1. Open the web terminal at /cli.

  2. Set the density:

    density reduced # the calm default
    density chatty # the full feed, with thinking and tool detail
  3. Run density on its own to see the current value:

    density

The change persists as your user default, so your next live or follow session opens at the density you chose.

Override it on a chat account (Telegram / Discord)

Section titled “Override it on a chat account (Telegram / Discord)”

On a linked Telegram or Discord account, /density sets a per-account override that sits over your user default — and applies at once to an open follow session on that surface.

In a chat with your linked bot:

/density reduced # calm feed for this account
/density chatty # full feed for this account
/density # show the current value

The override is remembered for that account, so its follow feeds keep that density until you change it. Clearing it falls back to your web-terminal user default, then to Reduced.

Verbosity decides which lines the feed shows. Separately, each linked chat account can put the time of each step in front of its tool lines, so you can see whether a step took two seconds or two minutes:

14:03Z → Bash npm test
14:05Z → Read src/app.ts
  1. Open Settings → Chat accounts.

  2. Under the Telegram or Discord account, turn on Show the time on live tool lines.

The setting is off by default and applies from the next task you follow; a feed that is already open keeps its current look. The time is the moment the step happened, in UTC (the Z), because SupaCloud does not yet know your time zone.
