The Problem
When running Claude Code in autonomous mode, there is no way to know what is happening -- how much rate limit is used, how much context window remains, session cost, or when Claude needs your input. You end up staring at the terminal or constantly checking back.
The Solution
Built two open-source tools: claude-code-statusline displays real-time rate limit usage %, context window %, session cost, and git status with progress bars directly in the terminal. claude-code-notify sends push notifications to Mac (terminal-notifier), iPhone, and Apple Watch (ntfy.sh) whenever Claude Code needs input -- integrated via the Claude Code hooks system.
