Claude HUD Plugin Brings Real-Time Visibility to Claude Code Terminal Sessions

Developer Jarrod Watts has released Claude HUD, an open-source plugin that adds a persistent status bar to Anthropic's Claude Code terminal interface. The tool displays live metrics including token context usage, active file operations, running subagents, and task completion checklists directly below the terminal input line. A key feature is a real-time progress bar tracking context window consumption, helping users reset sessions before the model hits capacity and risks making errors. Claude HUD can be installed in a few steps via Claude Code's built-in plugin marketplace commands. The project aims to make AI-assisted coding more transparent by surfacing what the agent is doing at any given moment without cluttering the command history.
