The session's context window fill, right above the prompt: gray while there is room, yellow when it is time to /compact, red when a new session is better.

Good to know (2)
- The session total starts over whenever a new session starts.
- It draws in the hint line, not the status line, because the status line only takes plain text.

What it does
In the author's words
Each turn's tokens and the session's running total, in color at the end of the hint line under the prompt.

How it works
- Runs when each turn in the session completes
- Reads the turn's token usage and adds it to the session total
- Appends the colored meter after what the hint line already shows
Common questions
How do I see how many tokens each Claude Code turn uses?
This mod adds the last turn's tokens to the hint line under the prompt: ↑ input in blue, ↓ output in green and cache for tokens read from or written to the prompt cache, followed by the session's running total, dimmed.
