One band above the prompt with the turn number, output speed, turn and session cost, a prompt cache countdown and context fill. It warns you before the cache expires.
This mod counts down a 1-hour prompt cache from Claude's last answer, and the next answer resets it. The band turns amber with 20 minutes left and red with 10.
Yes. At 10 and 5 minutes left it posts a system notification saying how many minutes remain. On macOS a helper app built with notifier/build.sh gives it a title and click-through; otherwise it falls back to Claude Code's own notification, which also reaches your phone over Remote Control.
Run /session_data demo <minutes> to pretend the cache has that many minutes left. It shows the colors and the warning, and the next answer resets it.
Click × to hide it for the rest of the session, or run /session_data to show or hide it.
One line above the prompt: context tokens with their weather, a bar per recent prompt, your 5-hour and 7-day limits against the time elapsed, the prompt cache with its time left, the session cost with the last prompt's share in dollars and in points of the 5-hour limit, and the subagents running. Labels in English, French or Russian. After Token Weather (Anthropic, Apache-2.0) and the ideas of usage-meter (HolyGrail) and prompt-cache-control (Daniel San).
A cockpit for Claude Code: plan bars and subagent strips, context, usage limits with reset countdowns and burn rates, spend, the model route and a pet. Six bar styles, three collapsed looks. CLI and Desktop.
