whats-in-the-box

Mod. Everything about context use, in one place.

  • Bar above the prompt: one colored segment per category (messages, MCP tools, skills...), a legend of the top four, the percent, and a Details button.
  • Status line: ■ ctx 63%.
  • Toasts at 50 / 70 / 85% (once per level).
  • Compact chip from the urgent level: ■ context 90% [Compact], on the shared chip row above the prompt. It runs /compact with the same focus text /squish prints, through $.command.run, which I have not seen run a built-in command in a live session.
  • /whats-in-the-box opens a pane: a header colored by how full you are, one row per category with its own bar and share, and the free space.

Options: band (true), minPercent (0), notice (50), warn (70), urgent (85), compactButton (true).
