usage-aware

A Claude Code mod that lets a session see how much of the plan's usage is left and when it resets, and steer by it.

It reads the figures the engine already has ($.session.usage() and the session.measure event: the 5-hour and 7-day windows, percent used, reset time, and the session's cost), so nothing extra is spawned or polled.

  • Status line: 5h 32% ↻2h05m · 7d 41% ↻3d7h · $3.21
  • A usage tool the model calls: read, resume_after_reset (with a continuation prompt), cancel_resume, allow_agents.
  • Every prompt carries the figures to the model as context the user does not see.
  • Thresholds on the fuller window: past 75% the model is told once to stop fanning out; past 90% new Agent and Workflow calls are refused until the user says yes.
  • Resume: a continuation prompt is submitted about 90 seconds after the window resets, armed by the model when it parks, or automatically when a main-loop turn dies at 98% or more. It only fires while the session stays open.

The thresholds are constants at the top of hooks/register.ts.
