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 CAP

After 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 install only — 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.json through 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.

Zoku: A Tool That Automatically Detects Repeated Workflows in Claude Code

Zoku is a local tool that hooks into Claude Code's event system to record tool actions across sessions, identifies repeated workflow patterns, and then informs Claude about these patterns so it can proactively suggest or execute them. It requires no configuration, has no dependencies, and stores everything locally in ~/.zoku/.
