# Agent Pulse card

> Every model request of the agents you connect, as bars on a shared timeline — plus status timelines of the whole canvas. Official NeuroSquad card.

**Agent Pulse** shows how your agents spend their time. It is a verified
[custom card](https://docs.neurosquad.ai/en/card-sdk/verified-cards) by NeuroSquad: in the add menu (**+** on the canvas) pick
**Custom card…**, install *Agent Pulse* from the **Verified** tab and add it to the canvas.

## Requests

Draw arrows between the card and the agents you want to compare — for example Claude Code, OpenCode
and Codex running the same prompt on the same model. Each agent gets a lane on one time axis, and
**every model request is a bar** from the moment it was sent to the moment the response completed.

- **Bar length** — how long the request took; **bar height** — its output tokens. Hover or focus a
bar for the duration, model, tokens and the tool calls the model asked for.
- A faint band shows when the agent was working (amber — waiting for you); ▼ marks a prompt, a green
line the finish.
- Per lane: number of requests, total model time, median and longest request. The KPIs on top are
over all requests; zoomed out, the card's tile shows requests and the median request time.
- **Run** fits the whole run — agents run one after another sit side by side in time, simultaneous
ones overlap. **15m / 1h / 4h** follow the clock. Expanded, scroll to zoom and drag to pan;
**Fit** resets.

The data comes from each agent's own log, the same as the [Usage](https://docs.neurosquad.ai/en/usage) section. Most harnesses
record when a request was sent (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Kilo Code, pi, omp, Kimi Code, Copilot
CLI, Gemini CLI, Cline, Qwen Code, Crush); Hermes, Factory Droid, Goose, aider and Auggie record only
when it completed, so their requests are ticks rather than bars. Amp and Cursor keep no log
NeuroSquad can read. The view needs NeuroSquad 0.1.257 or newer and asks for the optional *token
usage* permission the first time.

## Status

The **Status** view is the card's original picture of the whole canvas: a timeline per agent
(working, waiting for you, finished, idle), turns and their length, and how long agents waited on
you — with a gentle nudge when one waits too long.

**Good for:** benchmarks (with [Run Stats](https://docs.neurosquad.ai/en/cards/run-stats) next to each agent), and seeing which
agent is slow, busy or blocked on you.
