usage-bar

by abyigiter · ★ 2 · updated today

See your Claude Code session at a glance: context left, cost and today's spend, rate limits, git diff and PR status, right above the prompt. Set /budget limits and get a toast before you go over. Open the detail panel for context breakdown, turns, cache hit rate and top tools. Works in the CLI and the desktop Code tab.

I don't know if anybody did this already, but I was playing with Claude Code mods and made a small usage bar. Context, cost, today's spend, git diff, PR status and a budget alert, right above the prompt. https://github.com/abyigiter/claude-usage-bar
