What it does
alwinpaul1-claude-hud-enhanced is a Claude Code plugin that upgrades the built-in heads-up display so solo builders can see what the agent is doing without digging through logs. It emphasizes color themes, a polished statusline, and more accurate token and context readouts so you can tell when context is filling up or multiple tools and subagents are active. The HUD stays visible near your input area, surfacing running agents, tool activity, and progress cues that are easy to miss in plain text transcripts. For indie developers who run long Claude Code sessions on serious repos, that visibility reduces surprise truncation and makes it easier to pace prompts and subagent work. Install it when you want operational clarity inside the editor rather than another skill or MCP integration. Complexity is low: enable the plugin, tune theme and display options, and treat the statusline as your session control panel while you build, review, and iterate.
Highlights
- Color themes and enhanced statusline HUD always visible below Claude Code input
- Accurate token and context usage display for the active session
- Shows running agents, active tools, and progress indicators
- Configurable HUD behavior via plugin config
- Single-plugin bundle focused purely on in-editor visibility
Why builders use it
Long Claude Code sessions hide token burn, context pressure, and parallel agent work until something fails or the window feels sluggish.
After install, your statusline stays readable and accurate so you can throttle context, spot active tools, and keep multi-step agent work under control.
