Claude HUD is a real-time monitoring add-on for Claude Code that places a persistent heads-up display directly in your interactive session, giving developers clear insight into what the AI engine is doing at every moment. Instead of guessing about hidden processes behind the scenes, users see the amount of context remaining in the current session, tools being used, active running agents, and the progress of TODO tasks that the AI has planned or is executing. This plugin was designed to reduce cognitive load and make agentic workflows more transparent, helping developers diagnose stalled tasks, understand resource usage, and manage multi-step reasoning sequences more effectively. It installs with zero configuration and appears immediately in Claude Code, making it helpful for both newcomers and seasoned users who want better situational awareness without interrupting their workflow.
