best-claude-hud

best-claude-hud is a fast Rust-based status line for Claude Code terminal sessions. It displays the active model, available reasoning effort, launch directory, Git state, and context-window consumption in a compact interface. Optional segments can also show usage limits, cost, session details, output style, and update information. The npm package installs prebuilt native binaries, so users do not need a Rust toolchain. Its setup command updates Claude Code settings, preserves existing configuration, and creates a backup when replacing a previous status line. A terminal interface supports configuration, built-in themes, custom themes, model aliases, and custom context limits. The project supports major macOS, Linux, and Windows desktop architectures and avoids unnecessary Git locking while collecting repository status.
