Timeline Tool Needs Flow Timeline Data
Output
You're Right - I Missed the Flow Timeline
I built the MCP tool using raw kontasks, but I should use the Flow Timeline data structure that powers the UI you showed.
What the Flow Timeline Provides
// Flow Timeline interleaves TWO data sources: 1. Kontasks (/api/kontasks) • Title, type (Feature/Review/Frontend) • Topic/domain coloring (green=feature, pink=review) • Thread grouping (rabbit holes) • flowId linking 2. System Events (/api/gv/system-events) • "Konsole server started" (03:52) • "claude (ai) signed in" (03:54) • Account switches, service restarts • Quota warnings, errors
What My Tool Missed
- No system events - missed the server starts, account switches
- No thread grouping - didn't show rabbit holes/debugging sequences
- No topic/domain classification - missed the Feature/Review/Frontend labels
- No interleaved timeline - just a flat kontask list
The Fix
Rewrite konui_get_timeline to:
1. Fetch kontasks AND system events 2. Interleave chronologically (like the UI does) 3. Include topic/domain classification 4. Group threads (debugging sequences) 5. Return a snapshot matching what you see in the pane
This will give Claude the same contextual snapshot you see in the Flow Timeline UI.
