Spectator Mode
Watch an AI agent edit files in real time — every file change opens live in Scape's code editor so you can follow along.
Spectator mode instructs a running agent to open every file it edits in Scape's code editor before making changes, so you can watch edits happen live. It's a read-only way to follow what an agent is doing without interrupting it.
Entering spectator mode
- Find the session you want to watch.
- Click the ellipsis menu (...) in the session's header bar.
- Select Spectator mode (eye icon).
The button is only available when the session is both ready and running.
What it does
When enabled, the agent calls open_file before editing any file. This opens the file in Scape's code editor panel, letting you see the changes as they're written.
Exiting spectator mode
There is no explicit exit action — the injected prompt persists for the session's context window lifetime. The session returns to normal behavior when the context resets.
