Claude Statusbar
Install a compact Claude Code statusline that surfaces repo git state, context-window pressure, rate-limit countdowns, and live subagent activity in one glance.
Overview
claude-statusbar is a plugin marketplace for the Build phase that adds a Claude Code statusline showing git, context usage, rate limits, and subagent activity.
What is this marketplace?
- Two-line HUD: repo path, git branch, ahead/behind, ctx % with green/yellow/red thresholds
- 5-hour and 7-day rate-limit usage with reset countdown plus COMPRESS? at 80% and CRITICAL at 85%+
- Line 2 shows OAuth email cache, model and plan, CLI version, CLAUDE.md counts, diff stats, active skill
- OMC-style agent tree with tier colors, short codes, duration thresholds, and live status text
- Session name coloring tied to /rename for quick visual session identity
- Marketplace bundle lists 1 plugin (claude-statusbar)
- Context warnings at 80% (COMPRESS?) and 85%+ (CRITICAL) per README
- Displays both 5-hour and weekly rate-limit percentages with reset timers
Community signal: 4 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Default Claude Code sessions hide how full your context is, how close you are to rate limits, and what parallel agents are doing until something fails or stalls.
Who is it for?
Power users of Claude Code who juggle subagents, skills, and long repos and want OMC-style telemetry inline with the terminal or IDE chrome.
Skip if: Builders who only run short single-thread prompts or who need team-wide observability outside the local Claude session.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your status bar stays readable at a glance so you compress, rename sessions, or throttle agents before context or quota surprises interrupt shipping.
- Persistent two-line status HUD on active Claude Code sessions
- Live multiline subagent tree with durations and status snippets
- Visual compress and critical context warnings aligned to documented thresholds

Journey fit
Build is the canonical phase because the plugin augments the Claude Code session UI where solo builders spend most agent hours—before separate ship or grow analytics stacks. Agent-tooling matches a statusbar HUD inspired by OMC HUD: transcript-aware skill labels, agent trees, and MCP or rules counts are session instrumentation, not application features.
How it compares
In-session Claude Code HUD plugin, not a hosted APM product or standalone agent skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Claude Statusbar for?
It is for solo builders and small teams who run multi-agent Claude Code sessions and need git, quota, and context telemetry without leaving the editor.
When should I use Claude Statusbar?
Use it during long builds, integration work, or review sprints whenever ctx % or rate limits determine whether you can finish the task in one session.
How do I add Claude Statusbar to my agent?
Add the KwCCCC/Claude Statusbar Claude marketplace and install the statusline plugin per Claude Code marketplace docs, then open a session to see the two-line HUD.
