pcr start
Run the prompt watcher
pcr start # default TUI pcr start --verbose # log every diff/session/scan event pcr start --plain # line output (good for CI / agents)
Foreground watcher that listens to Cursor, Claude Code, and VS Code Copilot session files. Each new user prompt becomes a local draft you can later bundle and push. Press q (or Ctrl-C) to stop.
pcr start — the live watcher dashboardWhat it watches
| Tool | Source |
|---|---|
| Cursor | agent-transcript JSONL files plus the Cursor SQLite session store |
| Claude Code | session JSONL files under ~/.claude/projects/ |
| VS Code Copilot | Copilot session files under workspace storage |
Project filtering
Only sessions whose slug matches a project registered with pcr init are captured. Everything else is silently skipped.
Running in the background
# Background with nohup nohup pcr start > ~/.pcr-dev/watcher.log 2>&1 & # Or auto-start in your shell profile echo 'pcr start --plain &' >> ~/.zshrc
✦
On a typical multi-project setup, the watcher uses a few percent of one CPU core in steady state. See Watcher performance for details.
State files
Per-source state lives under ~/.pcr-dev/: drafts.db (SQLite store of every captured draft and bundle), plus per-watcher offset files so prompts are never double-inserted across restarts.
