项目摘要

Claude HUD is a popular Claude Code plugin that provides a real-time statusline displaying context window usage, active tools, running agents, and todo progress. It gives developers better visibility into what's happening during AI-assisted coding sessions without interrupting workflow.

为什么值得关注

With over 26,000 stars and 103 contributors, Claude HUD has become an essential tool for Claude Code users by solving a critical visibility problem—knowing context window status and agent activity in real-time. Its low issue count and frequent releases indicate strong maintenance and community trust.
