CAP: Claude Code Statusline Plugin That Installs with /plugin install
CAP (Claude Allowance Pulse) is a statusline plugin for Claude Code that provides real-time usage monitoring without requiring external package managers or manual configuration.
Installation and Setup
Installation uses Claude Code's built-in plugin system:
/plugin marketplace add PeterCha90/CAP
/plugin install CAPAfter installation, restart Claude Code. The plugin automatically configures settings.json via a SessionStart hook.
What It Displays
The statusline shows:
- 🐙/☄️/💨 — Current model (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku)
- 👨💻 — 5-hour session usage percentage and time until reset (e.g., 73%(4h32m))
- 📅 — 7-day weekly usage percentage and time until reset (e.g., 45%(3d21h))
- 🗃️ — Context window usage percentage (e.g., 42% ctx)
- 💰 — Session cost in dollars (e.g., $0.47)
- Update indicator (👾)
Technical Details
CAP differs from existing statusline tools like ccstatusline, CCometixLine, and cc-statusline by:
- Installing via
/plugin installonly — no npm, curl, jq, bun, or manual configuration required - Having zero dependencies — a single Node.js script with no
node_modules - Focusing on one function — no agents, orchestration, or TUI wizard
- Auto-configuring
settings.jsonthrough SessionStart hook
The tool was created to provide a minimal way to monitor rate limits while coding, contrasting with more feature-rich alternatives that offer widgets, powerline themes, and configuration interfaces.
