Why do I see 'unknown' context usage in Deep Trilogy commands?

Claude Code does not natively expose context percentage to plugins. Deep Setup fixes this by configuring a statusline hook that writes the usage data to a temporary file for the plugin to read.

What are the requirements for running this setup?

The main requirement is having 'jq' installed on your system, which is used to parse the statusline JSON. It works on both macOS and Linux.

Will this ruin my custom Claude Code statusline?

No. If you have an existing statusline, the setup tool wraps your current configuration to include context tracking while preserving your existing appearance and settings.

Do I need to run deep-setup every time I use Claude?

No, this is a one-time configuration. After running the setup and restarting Claude Code, the tracking remains active.

Developer Tools

Configures real-time context window tracking for the Deep Trilogy plugin suite to enable precise resource monitoring.

Deep Setup is a foundational utility designed to initialize the Deep Trilogy suite (including Deep Project, Deep Plan, and Deep Implement). It solves the common 'Context usage: unknown' issue by configuring the Claude Code statusline to track and report context percentage. By automating the integration between the statusline and the plugin's monitoring scripts, this skill ensures that developers have full visibility into their token usage before performing expensive LLM operations or large-scale codebase modifications, preventing context overflow and improving workflow predictability.
