What it is

Claude HUD is a Claude Code plugin that shows what's happening — context usage, active tools, running agents, and todo progress. It integrates with Claude Code's statusline API to render information in the terminal without a separate window.

How it works

  • Claude Code → statusline API → claude-hud → terminal output
  • It parses a transcript (tools, agents, todos) to display activity and re-renders after interactions.
  • Key features include native token data, scaling with the context window, and support for 1M-context sessions.
