Does Claude HUD require external tools like tmux?

No, Claude HUD utilizes the native Claude Code statusline API and works directly within any standard terminal environment.

Can I customize what information is displayed?

Yes, by using the /claude-hud:configure command, you can choose between Full, Essential, and Minimal presets, or select between Compact and Expanded layouts.

What are the technical requirements for Claude HUD?

It requires Claude Code version 1.0.80 or higher and a Node.js 18+ or Bun runtime environment.

What should I do if the HUD is not displaying correctly?

First, ensure you have run the /claude-hud:setup command and restarted your Claude Code session. If issues persist on Linux, check for EXDEV errors and ensure your temporary directory is correctly configured.

How does the context bar work?

The context bar visually represents your token usage, changing from green to yellow and finally red as you approach your context or rate limits.
