claude-hud

Statusline telemetry plugin

FreeCost & efficiencygithub.com

What it is

Renders live session telemetry in the Claude Code status line: context-window fill, real token counts (not estimates), cost, active tools/skills/MCP servers, running subagents, todo progress and subscription rate-limit headroom. ~26k stars.

Why it earns a slot

Install this first. It is the measurement layer — you cannot control spend you cannot see, and context fill is the variable that quietly degrades output quality on long sessions.

Know before you commit

Requires Claude Code 1.0.80+ and Node 18+. Forks exist — pin the jarrodwatts original.
