Claude HUD Adds Real-Time Visibility to Terminal AI Assistants

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Claude HUD is an open-source plugin for Anthropic's Claude Code that adds a persistent status bar to the terminal. It displays context window usage, active tools, subagent tracking, and task checklist progress. The tool aims to reduce the black-box nature of AI coding agents by providing real-time observability.

Meridian48 take
