best-claude-hud v0.1.10
Public release of best-claude-hud, a minimal Claude Code statusline HUD powered by Rust.
Highlights
- npm-first installation with platform-specific native binaries.
- Compact Claude Code statusline focused on model, workspace, Git state, and context usage.
- Live reasoning effort is shown as a distinct bright-purple item with a brain icon, including separate
xhigh,max, andultracodelabels. - Reasoning-mode cache upgrades fail closed so cancelled, overridden, or unknown
/effortoutput cannot preserve stale Ultracode state. - Model and reasoning effort use an explicit ASCII pipe separator across Plain, Nerd Font, Powerline, background, and non-background themes.
- Emoji-aware terminal width and complete ANSI resets prevent wrapping errors and style leakage.
- Workspace and Git status remain anchored to the Claude Code launch directory when skills, subagents, or shell commands change the temporary working directory.
- Context window parsing avoids reusing stale token data from older terminal sessions.
- Interrupted Claude Code responses no longer reset context usage to zero.
- Official Claude Code
context_windowdata is preferred before transcript fallback. - Claude Code
modelinput supports both string and object forms. rate_limitsare read from Claude Code statusLine stdin before API fallback.- Project license is Apache-2.0 with upstream attribution preserved in
NOTICE.
