tide

Shows the context window as a tide in the band above the prompt: a fill bar colored by phase, a sparkline of the last turns, how fast the window is filling per turn, and how many turns are left before the compaction threshold.

≈ ██████░░░░░░░░░░ ▁▂▂▃▄▄▅ 42% · mid tide · +3.5/turn · ~11 turns to 80%  Hide

The phases are low tide (cyan), mid tide (green), high tide (yellow) and flood (red, at or past the threshold, where compaction is near). Crossing into flood shows one toast.

Install

/plugin marketplace add Hula-Hoop-AI/supermods
/plugin install tide@supermods

Use

The band appears after the first model response of the session and updates after each turn. /tide, or the band's Hide button (t while the band has focus), hides it; /tide again shows it.

Configuration

OptionDefaultEffect
compact_at80Context fill, in percent, that counts as full: the bar turns red there and the turns-left estimate counts down to it.
history_turns12How many recent turns the sparkline shows.

What it touches

Events: session.start (registers /tide), session.measure (reads the context fill the engine reports after each turn), command.run (/tide), ui.render (the band above the prompt).

Capabilities: $.ui.toast, $.state. No file, process, network or model access.

Limitations

  • The turns-left estimate is a straight line through the last four turns, so a turn that reads a large file moves it a lot.
  • A fill that fell (compaction, /clear) starts the history over, so the sparkline and the trend take a few turns to fill in again.
  • It draws on the terminal and the desktop app only, as every band does.
