Current /effort level: low (dim), medium (green), high (yellow), xhigh/max (red). Hidden when the model does not support reasoning effort.

Session Name

Context Window

Visual bar + percentage. Green <70%, yellow 70-89%, red 90%+. Shows how full your context is.

Total tokens in context (input + cache). Matches Claude Code's own token display. Formatted as K/M.

Session Cost

Cumulative USD cost for this session. Resets when you start a new conversation.

Session Duration

How long this session has been running. Formatted as Xs, Xm, or XhXm.

Burn Rate

Average tokens consumed per minute. Helps predict when you'll hit rate limits or need to compact.

Lines Added / Removed

Total lines of code added (green +) and removed (red -) by the session. Hidden until the session has actually changed code.

5-Hour Rate Limit

Pro/Max plan rolling window usage. Shows reset time. Color-coded: green <60%, yellow 60-79%, red 80%+.

7-Day Rate Limit

Max plan weekly cap. Only appears for Max subscribers. Shows when the window resets.

Project Directory
