About this mod

A Claude Code mod that keeps the model, context fill and rate-limit usage in view, so you can drop a statusline script for them.

Mods run code inside Claude Code on your machine. Read the source before you install one — this one is a single file, hooks/register.tsx, and only reads the session's own figures. It runs no shell commands and makes no network calls.

The band

Shown above the prompt:

Sonnet 5.5  ◼◼◼◼◼ 12%  5h 8% (34m)  W 13% (4d 2h)  +

• The model, as /model shows it, then an icon for the reasoning effort: ○ low, ◐ medium, ● high, ◉ xhigh, ◈ max (a number if the effort is a token budget). A /model switch shows at once and clears the effort icon until the new model's first turn; one made elsewhere (the Alt+P picker, a fallback, the IDE) shows from the next turn. The effort is read from each request, so it appears after the first turn; /effort <level> shows at once, while a level picked from a menu shows from the next turn. Models without an effort setting show no icon.
• A five-square bar and percentage for the context window.
• Each rate-limit window (5h, W) with its percentage and the time until it resets. Windows appear once the first response has reported them, and only on a subscription.
• Bars and percentages are green, turn yellow at 60% and red at 85%.
• The button on the right shows + while the pane is closed and − while it is open. Press it to open or close the pane.

The band is hidden while a survey is up.

The pane

Open it with the + button or /session-stats.

• The model, context fill and each rate-limit window as a 20-square bar, with reset countdowns. Session (5h) and weekly windows show as Session limit and Weekly · all models; a per-model weekly window the engine reports, such as Fable, shows as Weekly · <model>, and as W <model> in the band.
• This session: cost, turn time, cache hit and each model's share of tokens.
• Breakdown: input, output, cache read and cache write tokens.
• Context window: by category (system prompt, tools, messages, free space), largest first, estimated locally.

The session figures add up the turns finished since the mod loaded. A reload keeps them, /clear does not reset them, and "Turns" is the wall-clock time of finished turns, not the API's own time.

r refreshes. Esc hands the keyboard back and closes the pane.

Freshness

The figures are pushed by the engine after each turn and whenever a rate-limit window moves a whole point, and refreshed straight after /model and /effort. Reset countdowns tick once a minute.

Install

/plugin marketplace add cjmellor/mella-marketplace
/plugin install session-stats@mella-marketplace
/reload-plugins

To try it from a checkout without installing:

claude --plugin-dir plugins/session-stats

Develop

claude plugin validate plugins/session-stats
claude plugin test plugins/session-stats

validate does not check what the band draws: an invalid render tree is dropped by the engine and the band simply does not appear. If it goes missing after an edit, run Claude Code with --debug and look for a ui.render (AbovePrompt): a hook returned a tree that does not validate line.

Limits

• It cannot draw in the status line or hide it. Keep your statusline for the directory, branch and PR, or move those into another mod.
• Only one hook can draw the band. This mod asks the hooks beneath it for their tree and stacks its own row on top, so it composes with git-diff only when it loads first. A mod that draws without asking replaces this one.
• Mods get no event for a model or effort change, only for the /model and /effort commands. A level /effort refuses or lowers for the model still shows as typed until the next turn corrects it.
• The pane is a snapshot taken when it opens (press r to refresh).
• A hot reload of the mod closes an open pane.
• The terminal draws a button under the pointer as an inverted block. That comes from the engine and cannot be styled.
