# pan show

Run the command now:

```bash
pan show <issue-id>
```

## Usage

```
pan show PAN-123           # Summary: work history + health
pan show PAN-123 --cv      # Agent work history (conversation view)
pan show PAN-123 --context # Context engineering state
pan show PAN-123 --health  # Health + heartbeat only
```

## What It Does

Displays the current state of the agent working on an issue. The bare form shows a combined
summary of work history and health. Flags narrow to a specific view.

## When to Use

- Checking what an agent is currently doing
- Reviewing work history before the PR goes up for review
- Diagnosing a stuck or unresponsive agent
- Inspecting context window state
