Long Claude Code sessions hide session state behind a plain statusline, so solo builders lose situational awareness without a dedicated monitoring layer.
Who is it for?
Solo builders living in Claude Code who want a polished, accessible statusline and dashboard without extra services.
Skip if: Teams needing centralized production APM, cross-repo incident tooling, or marketplace entries that generate application code.

Recommended Marketplaces
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Operate because the cockpit is for ongoing session visibility, statusline tuning, and dashboard monitoring—not for building product features. Monitoring fits real-time HUD, session metrics, and dashboard views that keep solo builders aware of agent run state during daily coding.
How it compares
Claude Code UI plugin marketplace, not an MCP server or a single-repo agent skill.
