Action Feed
An action feed is the real-time, filterable stream of every agent step — tool calls, edits, commits, messages — that Black Box shows the owner.
In plain English
The Action Feed is how you watch the AI company work. Every meaningful event — a specialist started, a tool got called, a file was written, a draft finished, an evaluator passed — posts to the feed with a timestamp, the actor, and a clear description. The feed is filterable by specialist, by task, by type, so you can zoom in on what matters or stand back and watch the whole thing.
Transparency is not just a feature; it is a trust mechanism. An autonomous agent that runs in the dark is scary. The same agent with an Action Feed you can scrub through is legible — you can see exactly what it did, why, and what happened. That legibility is what lets owners give the system more autonomy over time.
Why it matters for Black Box
The Action Feed is a core view in Black Box. The engine emits NDJSON events over Server-Sent Events; the browser renders them as a scrolling stream. When something goes wrong, the owner rewinds the feed to see exactly where.
Examples
- A row showing "Coding specialist wrote
apps/web/src/views/Launch.tsx(342 lines)." - A row showing "Research specialist fetched 3 URLs, extracted 2 quotes."
- A row showing "Evaluator rejected draft — missing citation for pricing claim."
