A FEW HANDY EXTRAS

A few handy tools for Claude Code.

I made these to help with my own work and thought you might find them useful too. They’re free to use and MIT licensed.

Claude Code plugin

>See how much you’ve got left

Usage Bars keeps your session usage, weekly usage and context window together in three simple bars. You can see how much you’ve used and which limit is getting close, without stopping to check.

# install

/plugin marketplace add realkewal/claude-kit
/plugin install usage-bars@claude-kit
/usage-bars:install

Run these three commands in order in Claude Code. The last one sets up your status line and backs up any settings it replaces. It’s a separate step because plugins can’t set the status line directly.

  • A heads-up before you run out

    See when each limit resets and whether you’re likely to reach it first. That gives you a bit of time to plan ahead.

  • Set it up your way

    Choose the bars, colours, labels and warning levels in a simple config file. You can adjust the width and symbols there too, without changing the script.

  • Easy to read at a glance

    The text stays bright enough to read. When usage gets high, a warning symbol appears alongside the colour change, so you don’t have to rely on colour alone.
