## What it does

The plugin adds a multi-line status bar to your terminal. Rendering takes under 10ms. A standalone Go binary handles everything without extra runtimes. Progress bars display remaining capacity like a battery.

You can pick between compact, normal, or detailed presets. Auth detection works automatically. OAuth accounts see reset countdowns, while API key users get dollar totals. The Git segment tracks branches, upstream sync status, diff counts, and worktrees.

Live reasoning effort and PR badges require Claude Code 2.1.141 and 2.1.145. The binary must be downloaded first. Run `/claude-telemetry:setup` to finish installation and select your layout.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install claude-telemetry@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- monitor remaining context window capacity before running out of tokens
- track OAuth rate limit countdowns or session dollar costs
- check Git branch state, stashes, and dirty files without leaving the prompt
- view active reasoning effort and open pull request status

## Example prompts
- /claude-telemetry:setup
- /claude-telemetry:config
- Configure claude-telemetry to use the detailed preset

## Installation

### Via marketplace (recommended)

1. Add the [jeongph/claude-plugins](https://github.com/jeongph/claude-plugins) marketplace (one-time):

```
/plugin marketplace add jeongph/claude-plugins
```

2. Install:

```
/plugin install claude-telemetry@jeongph-claude-plugins
```

3. Run interactive setup:

```
/claude-telemetry:setup
```

This downloads the Go binary, configures your preset, and sets up the status line.

### Manual setup

1. Download the binary for your platform from [Releases](https://github.com/jeongph/claude-telemetry/releases/latest):

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/statusline/bin
curl -fsSL "https://github.com/jeongph/claude-telemetry/releases/latest/download/claude-telemetry-$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')-$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/' | sed 's/aarch64/arm64/')" \
  -o ~/.claude/statusline/bin/claude-telemetry
chmod +x ~/.claude/statusline/bin/claude-telemetry
```

2. (Optional) Copy the example config:

```bash
cp claude-telemetry/config.example.json ~/.claude/statusline/config.json
```

3. Add to `~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
"statusLine": {
  "type": "command",
  "command": "bash /path/to/claude-telemetry/scripts/run.sh"
}
```

4. Restart Claude Code

## Features

- **Remaining % display** — all bars show remaining capacity (like a battery), not usage
- **Preset modes** — compact (1 line), normal (2 lines), detailed (3 lines)
- **Auto user detection** — OAuth users see rate limits, API key users see cost
- **Git integration** — folder:branch, ↑push/↓pull, changes (+/-), untracked (?N), stash (≡N), worktrees (⎇N)
- **Effort level** — live reasoning effort (low/medium/high/xhigh/max) shown beside the model name, reflects `/effort` changes (Claude Code ≥ 2.1.141)
- **PR badge** — open PR number and review state for the current branch, no `gh` CLI needed (Claude Code ≥ 2.1.145)
- **Session name** — session title shown as `[name]`, auto-truncated to 20 columns (off by default — Claude Code already shows the title in its UI; enable via `sections` or the detailed preset)
- **User identity** — logged-in email + plan (`Max`/`Pro`/`Team`) on a dedicated line, read from `~/.claude.json` (not in the status line JSON). Off by default for privacy — enable via `sections.user`
- **Rate limit countdown** — remaining time until reset with progress bar
- **Dynamic color thresholds** — green/yellow/red based on remaining %, customizable via config
- **Loading and error states** — loading (···), partial failure (—), error messages instead of silent blank
- **Progress bars** — ▰▱ visualization, color-coded green → yellow → red
- **Adaptive width** — auto-drops lower priority sections on narrow terminals
- **i18n** — English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (auto-detected)
- **Auto binary sync** — a SessionStart hook keeps the binary matched to the plugin version (pinned download + sha256 verification)
- **Self-cleanup on uninstall** — if you uninstall the plugin, the status line removes its own settings entry and files within a minute (setup-managed installs only)
- **NO_COLOR support** — respects `NO_COLOR` environment variable
- **Go binary** — single binary, no runtime dependencies, sub-10ms rendering
- **v1 fallback** — existing jq-based users keep working until they upgrade
