Claude Hud Reviews — Discover what people think of this product.

Claude HUD is an open-source Claude Code plugin that gives you a live heads-up display of everything happening in your coding session directly in the terminal statusline. Instead of guessing how much context you have left or which agents are running, you get a clear, always-visible overview that updates multiple times per second.

With Claude HUD you can instantly see:

• Context health with a visual bar that shows how full the context window is before you hit limits
• Tool activity including which MCPs, file operations, and skills are currently executing and how often
• Agent status for each subagent, including what it’s working on and how long it has been running
• Todo progress so you can track completion of tasks in real time without digging through transcripts

Because it plugs into Claude Code’s native statusline API, Claude HUD requires no extra panes, tmux layouts, or UI layers — it just streams JSON from Claude Code to your terminal and renders a compact, information-dense HUD. Developers working with long-running sessions, complex rule sets, or multiple MCP integrations gain precise visibility into token usage, configuration state, and execution flow, helping them avoid context overflows and keep AI-assisted development under control.

Installation is a three-step command sequence inside Claude Code: add the marketplace entry, install the plugin, then run the setup command. From there, Claude HUD appears immediately with no restart, giving you a persistent, real-time cockpit for Claude-powered coding.
