monclaude

A rich, real-time status line for Claude Code

See context usage, rate limits, reset timers, and session cost without leaving your terminal.

terminal

What you get

A compact bar with the percentage riding inside it, plus tokens used against your model's full context limit.

5-hour and 7-day rolling usage with reset countdowns, plus a nudge when the weekly window resets soon and you still have room.

The active thinking level rides next to the model name when set: low, med, high, xhigh, or max.

Running session cost so you can see when a session is getting expensive, with extra-credit cap visibility when enabled.

Requirements

Claude Code pipes session JSON (model, context, cost) into the script via stdin

The script calls the Anthropic usage API for 5-hour and 7-day rate limit data

Responses are cached for 180 seconds, with a mutex serializing refreshes across concurrent sessions

Narrow terminals automatically switch to a compact one-line mode
