## What it is
Claude HUD is a Claude Code plugin that renders a statusline HUD below your input, showing context window usage, active tool activity, running subagents, and todo progress. It is installed via the Claude Code plugin marketplace and configured with a setup command.

## Use cases
- monitor claude code context window usage
- see which tools claude is running in real time
- track subagent activity in claude code
- view todo task progress during ai coding sessions
- add a statusline to claude code
- know when context is about to run out

## When to choose
- you use Claude Code daily and want visibility into context health and agent activity
- you want a lightweight, always-visible statusline without leaving the terminal
- you want real-time todo and tool tracking inside Claude Code

## When to avoid
- you don't use Claude Code or Anthropic's CLI tooling
- you need a general-purpose terminal dashboard unrelated to Claude Code
- you can't install Node.js on Windows or run an up-to-date Claude Code version
