Show HN: cc-context-telemetry - context and rate-limit % in Claude Code's bar (github.com)

A new tool named **cc-context-telemetry** has been introduced to enhance the Claude Code environment by displaying vital usage metrics directly in the status line. This tool shows the context usage percentage, five-hour and seven-day rate-limit usage alongside remaining time until each limit resets, and indicates the currently active model. The seamless integration allows users to prepend this telemetry information to their existing status line with minimal setup, using either NPM or by directly cloning the repository if Node.js isn’t installed. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it addresses a common pain point: awareness of context window and rate limits, which are crucial for optimizing API usage and managing resources effectively. By providing real-time insights, developers can make informed decisions about their model interactions, preventing the risk of hitting limits unexpectedly. The tool operates using pure POSIX shell commands, ensuring cross-platform compatibility and requiring no dependencies, making it easy to deploy across various environments. Additionally, it automates telemetry collection, allowing hooks and plugins to access updated session data without the need for constant manual checks.
