TopX HUD
A free Claude Code plugin that shows context use, the 5-hour and 7-day limits and whether a turn is running above the prompt, with a Compact button and a /topx pane of recent turns.
What it shows
- Context use as a small liquid globe: blue, amber from 75%, red from 90%.
- A Compact button that runs the same compaction as /compact.
- The 5-hour and 7-day limits, with the time left until the 5-hour reset.
- /topx opens a pane of recent turns: duration, errors and tools used.
- Follows the light or dark appearance of the desktop app; a terminal gets one line of text.
