Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 30, 2026 by amittjain Closed May 3, 2026

Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • [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
