# Claude HUD
|
||||
|
||||
A Claude Code plugin that shows what's happening — context usage, active tools, running agents, and todo progress. Always visible below your input.
|
||||
|
||||
[](LICENSE)
|
||||
[](https://github.com/jarrodwatts/claude-hud/stargazers)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
Inside a Claude Code instance, run the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Add the marketplace**
|
||||
```
|
||||
/plugin marketplace add jarrodwatts/claude-hud
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Install the plugin**
|
||||
|
||||
<details>
|
||||
<summary><strong>⚠️ Linux users: Click here first</strong></summary>
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux, `/tmp` is often a separate filesystem (tmpfs), which causes plugin installation to fail with:
|
||||
```
|
||||
EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Set TMPDIR before installing:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.cache/tmp && TMPDIR=~/.cache/tmp claude
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then run the install command below in that session. This is a [Claude Code platform limitation](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/14799).
|
||||
|
||||
</details>
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/plugin install claude-hud
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Configure the statusline**
|
||||
```
|
||||
/claude-hud:setup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Done! The HUD appears immediately — no restart needed.

## What is Claude HUD?
|
||||
|
||||
Claude HUD gives you better insights into what's happening in your Claude Code session.
|
||||
|
||||
| What You See | Why It Matters |
|
||||
|--------------|----------------|
|
||||
| **Project path** | Know which project you're in (configurable 1-3 directory levels) |
|
||||
| **Context health** | Know exactly how full your context window is before it's too late |
|
||||
| **Tool activity** | Watch Claude read, edit, and search files as it happens |
|
||||
| **Agent tracking** | See which subagents are running and what they're doing |
|
||||
| **Todo progress** | Track task completion in real-time |
|
||||
|
||||
## What Each Line Shows
|
||||
|
||||
### Session Info
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Opus | Pro] █████░░░░░ 45% | my-project git:(main) | 2 CLAUDE.md | 5h: 25% | ⏱️ 5m
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Model** — Current model in use (shown first)
|
||||
- **Plan name** — Your subscription tier (Pro, Max, Team) when usage enabled
|
||||
- **Context bar** — Visual meter with color coding (green → yellow → red as it fills)
|
||||
- **Project path** — Configurable 1-3 directory levels (default: 1)
|
||||
- **Git branch** — Current branch name (configurable on/off)
|
||||
- **Config counts** — CLAUDE.md files, rules, MCPs, and hooks loaded
|
||||
- **Usage limits** — 5-hour rate limit percentage (opt-in, Pro/Max/Team only)
|
||||
- **Duration** — How long the session has been running
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool Activity
|
||||
```
|
||||
✓ TaskOutput ×2 | ✓ mcp_context7 ×1 | ✓ Glob ×1 | ✓ Skill ×1
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Running tools** show a spinner with the target file
|
||||
- **Completed tools** aggregate by type with counts
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Status
|
||||
```
|
||||
✓ Explore: Explore home directory structure (5s)
|
||||
✓ open-source-librarian: Research React hooks patterns (2s)
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Agent type** and what it's working on
|
||||
- **Elapsed time** for each agent
|
||||
|
||||
### Todo Progress
|
||||
```
|
||||
✓ All todos complete (5/5)
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Current task** or completion status
|
||||
- **Progress counter** (completed/total)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
Claude HUD uses Claude Code's native **statusline API** — no separate window, no tmux required, works in any terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Claude Code → stdin JSON → claude-hud → stdout → displayed in your terminal
|
||||
↘ transcript JSONL (tools, agents, todos)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key features:**
|
||||
- Native token data from Claude Code (not estimated)
|
||||
- Parses the transcript for tool/agent activity
|
||||
- Updates every ~300ms
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Customize your HUD anytime:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/claude-hud:configure
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The guided flow walks you through customization — no manual editing needed:
|
||||
|
||||
- **First time setup**: Choose a preset (Full/Essential/Minimal), then fine-tune individual elements
|
||||
- **Customize anytime**: Toggle items on/off, adjust git display style, switch layouts
|
||||
- **Preview before saving**: See exactly how your HUD will look before committing changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Presets
|
||||
|
||||
| Preset | What's Shown |
|
||||
|--------|--------------|
|
||||
| **Full** | Everything enabled — tools, agents, todos, git, usage, duration |
|
||||
| **Essential** | Activity lines + git status, minimal info clutter |
|
||||
| **Minimal** | Core only — just model name and context bar |
|
||||
|
||||
After choosing a preset, you can turn individual elements on or off.
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
You can also edit the config file directly at `~/.claude/plugins/claude-hud/config.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Options
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|
||||
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `layout` | string | `default` | Layout style: `default` or `separators` |
|
||||
| `pathLevels` | 1-3 | 1 | Directory levels to show in project path |
|
||||
| `gitStatus.enabled` | boolean | true | Show git branch in HUD |
|
||||
| `gitStatus.showDirty` | boolean | true | Show `*` for uncommitted changes |
|
||||
| `gitStatus.showAheadBehind` | boolean | false | Show `↑N ↓N` for ahead/behind remote |
|
||||
| `gitStatus.showFileStats` | boolean | false | Show file change counts `!M +A ✘D ?U` |
|
||||
| `display.showModel` | boolean | true | Show model name `[Opus]` |
|
||||
| `display.showContextBar` | boolean | true | Show visual context bar `████░░░░░░` |
|
||||
| `display.showConfigCounts` | boolean | true | Show CLAUDE.md, rules, MCPs, hooks counts |
|
||||
| `display.showDuration` | boolean | true | Show session duration `⏱️ 5m` |
|
||||
| `display.showUsage` | boolean | true | Show usage limits (Pro/Max/Team only) |
|
||||
| `display.showTokenBreakdown` | boolean | true | Show token details at high context (85%+) |

|
||||
| `display.showAgents` | boolean | true | Show agents activity line |
|
||||
| `display.showTodos` | boolean | true | Show todos progress line |
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage Limits (Pro/Max/Team)
|
||||
|
||||
Usage display is **enabled by default** for Claude Pro, Max, and Team subscribers. It shows your rate limit consumption directly in the HUD.
|
||||
|
||||
When enabled, you'll see your 5-hour usage percentage. The 7-day percentage appears when above 80%:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Opus | Pro] █████░░░░░ 45% | my-project | 5h: 25% | 7d: 85%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To disable usage display, set `display.showUsage` to `false` in your config.
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:**
|
||||
- Claude Pro, Max, or Team subscription (not available for API users)
|
||||
- OAuth credentials from Claude Code (created automatically when you log in)
|
||||
|
||||
**Troubleshooting:** If usage doesn't appear:
|
||||
- Ensure you're logged in with a Pro/Max/Team account (not API key)
|
||||
- Check `display.showUsage` is not set to `false` in config
|
||||
- API users see no usage display (they have pay-per-token, not rate limits)
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout Options
|
||||
|
||||
**Default layout** — All info on first line:
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Opus] ████░░░░░░ 42% | my-project git:(main) | 2 rules | ⏱️ 5m
|
||||
✓ Read ×3 | ✓ Edit ×1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Separators layout** — Visual separator below header when activity exists:
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Opus] ████░░░░░░ 42% | my-project git:(main) | 2 rules | ⏱️ 5m
|
||||
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
✓ Read ×3 | ✓ Edit ×1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"layout": "default",
|
||||
"pathLevels": 2,
|
||||
"gitStatus": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"showDirty": true,
|
||||
"showAheadBehind": true,
|
||||
"showFileStats": true
|
||||
},
|
||||
"display": {
|
||||
"showModel": true,
|
||||
"showContextBar": true,
|
||||
"showConfigCounts": true,
|
||||
"showDuration": true,
|
||||
"showUsage": true,
|
||||
"showTokenBreakdown": true,
|
||||
"showTools": true,
|
||||
"showAgents": true,
|
||||
"showTodos": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Display Examples
|
||||
|
||||
**1 level (default):** `[Opus] 45% | my-project git:(main) | ...`
|
||||
|
||||
**2 levels:** `[Opus] 45% | apps/my-project git:(main) | ...`
|
||||
|
||||
**3 levels:** `[Opus] 45% | dev/apps/my-project git:(main) | ...`
|
||||
|
||||
**With dirty indicator:** `[Opus] 45% | my-project git:(main*) | ...`
|
||||
|
||||
**With ahead/behind:** `[Opus] 45% | my-project git:(main ↑2 ↓1) | ...`
|
||||
|
||||
**With file stats:** `[Opus] 45% | my-project git:(main* !3 +1 ?2) | ...`
|
||||
- `!` = modified files, `+` = added/staged, `✘` = deleted, `?` = untracked
|
||||
- Counts of 0 are omitted for cleaner display
|
||||
|
||||
**Minimal display (only context %):** Configure `showModel`, `showContextBar`, `showConfigCounts`, `showDuration` to `false`
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Config not applying?**
|
||||
- Check for JSON syntax errors: invalid JSON silently falls back to defaults
|
||||
- Ensure valid values: `pathLevels` must be 1, 2, or 3; `layout` must be `default` or `separators`
|
||||
- Delete config and run `/claude-hud:configure` to regenerate
|
||||
|
||||
**Git status missing?**
|
||||
- Verify you're in a git repository
|
||||
- Check `gitStatus.enabled` is not `false` in config
|
||||
|
||||
**Tool/agent/todo lines missing?**
|
||||
- These only appear when there's activity to show
|
||||
- Check `display.showTools`, `display.showAgents`, `display.showTodos` in config
|
||||
