[FEATURE] progress bar for context window used/remaining
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Aug 14, 2025 by DuaneNielsen Closed Aug 14, 2025
Since context management is such an important part of getting good performance out of claude code. I would love to see a visual indicator of how much context is used and remaining in the console.
Something like a progress bar
[=============== (100/200k context used ) ]
when full, we are out of context and compaction will run
This would help me optimize things such as,
- what really needs to be in the CLAUDE.md
- how much information should I read in at the start of a new session?
- when should I start summarizing and writing documentation before compaction
- how much effort I should put into creating agents to reduce context burn rate?
- would now be a good time to call the compaction?
- how should I order the execution of items in a long plan?
and probably a lot of other uses as well
