- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
When I work with claude, it has to optimize frequently because as i asked claude that git status has lot of lines because .venv was not in .gitignore.
Proposed Solution
When starting a session in a git repository, display:
- Quick summary: # staged files, # unstaged files
- Token cost estimate (~200 tokens, ~5,000 tokens, etc.)
- Warning if status is bloated (suggest cleanup)
- Option to proceed or abort
