Quick Use

Use it first, then decide how deep to go

This block should tell both the user and the agent what to copy, install, and apply first.

git clone https://github.com/henu-wang/cc-status-board.git
cd cc-status-board
node install.js

Restart Claude Code. Done.

Intro

CC Status Board is a smart status bar extension for Claude Code with 3 features: a color-coded context window meter, AI asset discovery that surfaces relevant installed tools as you type, and model/directory info. It scans all your installed assets — skills, agents, commands, plugins, and MCP servers — and uses intent classification + TF-IDF scoring to match them to your conversation context. Zero token consumption, runs 100% locally.

Best for: Claude Code users with multiple installed skills, MCP servers, and plugins who want to rediscover and better utilize their AI tools. Works with: Claude Code (CLI, desktop, IDE extensions). Setup time: under 1 minute.

Features

Context Meter

See how much of your context window you've used at a glance:

█░░░░░░░░░  8%    ← Fresh
████░░░░░░ 40%    ← Getting going
███████░░░ 65%    ← Consider wrapping up
██████████ 95%    ← Autocompact incoming

Color-coded: green → yellow → orange → blinking red.

AI Asset Discovery

As you type, the status bar shows the most relevant installed AI assets:

You type: "help me do SEO"
Status:   ... │ 💡 /marketing:seo-audit  /backlink-builder

You type: "debug this API error"
Status:   ... │ 💡 /gsd-debug  Agent("gsd-debugger")

You type: "做个数据库查询"
Status:   ... │ 💡 /data:write-query  /data:sql-queries

Scans all asset types:

  • Skills (~/.claude/skills/)
  • Agents (~/.claude/agents/)
  • Commands (~/.claude/commands/)
  • Plugins (Claude Code built-in)
  • MCP Servers (.mcp.json)

Smart matching — not just keyword search:

  • 35+ intent categories with Chinese + English aliases
  • TF-IDF weighting (rare keywords matter more)
  • Specificity bonus (specialist tools rank above generalists)
  • Diversity filter (max 2 per namespace)

 → Write top 3 to temp bridge file
        │
