How does Token Weather work?

Takes a first reading when a session starts, so the band shows before the first turn. After each main-loop turn, reads the context tokens and window from the session usage. Turns the fill into a forecast, from Clear under 25% to Compact soon at 90% and up. Draws one line: percentage, tokens used of the window and a chart of the last 12 turns.

What should I know before using Token Weather?

Measures against the full window, so it can read lower than Claude Code's auto-compact notice. Updates once per turn, not during a turn, and its history resets when a session starts. Another plugin that draws above the prompt competes for the same band.
