session-status is a Claude Code skill that shows a terminal status bar with the active model, context-window fill, API rate-limit usage and git status.

About

session-status is a Claude Code statusline that renders a compact terminal status bar via settings.json. It shows the active model, context-window fill, 5-hour and 7-day API rate-limit usage read from live Anthropic response headers, and current git branch state. A developer installs it to see at a glance how full the context is before autocompact fires and how much of the rate limit is left.

  • Adds a Claude Code status bar showing model, context fill, rate-limit usage and git status
  • Corrects the reported context percentage by +17% for the hidden autocompact buffer
  • Windows only, requires npm-installed Claude Code (not the native Bun .exe)

Who is it for?

Claude Code users on Windows who want live context-fill and rate-limit visibility in the terminal status bar.

When should I use this skill?

Setting up a Claude Code status bar that reflects true context fill and remaining rate limit.

What you get

A status bar shows corrected context fill plus 5-hour and 7-day rate-limit usage and git state.

FAQ

Why does it add +17% to the context percentage?

Claude Code reserves ~33k tokens (~16.5% of a 200k window) for autocompact that is excluded from used_percentage, so +17% corrects the systematic undercount.

Which platforms are supported?

Windows only, and it requires Claude Code installed via npm because the native claude.exe uses Bun which ignores NODE_OPTIONS.
