The problem
An AI coding session burns context and rate limit invisibly. You find out you are near a limit when the tool stops, which is exactly the wrong moment to find out.
How it was built
- 01
Wrote the whole engine in POSIX Bash so it runs wherever a shell runs, with no language runtime to install first.
- 02
Rendered live session metrics into the Claude Code status line, where the information is already in the developer's field of view.
- 03
Added usage analytics and rate-limit monitoring so limits are visible before they are hit.
- 04
Included MCP server management, keeping server configuration in the same tool as the metrics.
- 05
Open-sourced the plugin and published it for the Claude Code marketplace.
What shipped
Open-sourced and published as a Claude Code marketplace plugin.
Zero-runtime install: POSIX Bash plus jq, portable across shells.
