When to choose it
Keeping context usage visible as a session grows.
Choose it if: You want a terminal band showing context usage and recent turns without a separate model call.
Look elsewhere if: You need persistent usage history or an exact auto-compact threshold; the sample does not provide those.
What the source describes
- Reads session context usage after each turn
- Shows a weather state and recent-turn chart
- No separate model call for the context reading
Requirements
- Claude Code v2.1.287 or later
- Terminal surface for the AbovePrompt band
Review, then try in one session
These commands download the sample and then load its code. Read the source before running the final line. Validation is an inspection aid, not a security guarantee.
git clone https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-playground.git
cd claude-code-playground/claude-code/mods
claude plugin validate ./token-weather
claude --plugin-dir ./token-weatherUse it after installation
Work normally after loading the sample. The band updates when a turn completes.
Installation and loading troubleshootingLimitations & considerations
- Uses the full context window; the auto-compact notice uses a different threshold
- History resets on session start or reload; another AbovePrompt mod can conflict
Mods can act with your user privileges, including file access, processes and network requests. ClaudeStack has not run this sample. Check the official trust guidance before loading it.
