context-budget
by Melodic Software · ★ 23 · updated today
Measures a Claude Code session's fixed startup context payload per item at a pinned binary version, including per-tool attribution of the built-in tool pools that /context reports only as totals, derived by A/B deny differencing. Falls back from an SDK meter to a headless /context parser, then to an error rather than a wrong number. Keeps a before/after ledger per lever. Shows a live context...

context-guard
melodic-software/claude-code-plugins
Per-session context-window observability. A mod writes each session's context-window figures to a snapshot file and shows the person a toast and a transcript line when the context zone (smart, acceptable or dumb, from bands in zones.json) worsens; with model_notices on (off by default) it also tells Claude the zone at each crossing, approach and compaction. /context-guard prints status and...
display-redaction
melodic-software/claude-code-plugins
A mod that masks email addresses and secret-shaped text in what Claude Code draws, for recordings and screen shares. It changes the screen only; the transcript, the model's context and the files on disk are untouched, so it is not a privacy or data control.

melodic-software/claude-code-plugins
Claude Code operations: audit-skill-visibility (skills the listing budget hides), inventory (all commands, skills, agents, tools, plugins), audit-install-state (~/.claude), audit-performance (slowness), audit-native-overlap (skills duplicating built-ins), observability (telemetry), known-issues (Claude bugs, status), changelog, behavior-probes, prerequisites, check, machine-profile, plugins...
rate-limit-guard
melodic-software/claude-code-plugins
Shared rate-limit guard for loop lanes and Claude: a hooks module writes the subscription rate-limit windows to a fixed machine-scope file and toasts window changes (telling Claude too only with model_notices on, off by default), a StopFailure hook records rate-limit stops reactively, and a reader contract fixes how consuming sessions pause and resume.
