context-bar

Claude Code mod License: MIT

A stacked context-window bar above the prompt, one color per category of the /context breakdown (system prompt, system tools, MCP instructions, custom agents, skills, messages), with a legend and the total against your window size.

context bar

Install

/plugin install context-bar --marketplace lambdamax/claude-code-mods

Use

/context-bar toggles the bar. It refreshes after every prompt and every finished turn, and draws nothing until the first breakdown exists.
