How do I initialize the HUD after installing the plugin?

You can run the command `/oh-my-claudecode:hud setup` which automatically creates the necessary scripts, configures your settings.json, and verifies your installation.

Does the HUD monitor context usage automatically?

Yes, it tracks your context window usage and changes color to yellow at 70% and red at 85% to warn you when it's time to compact or clear the session.

Can I use the HUD on Windows terminals?

Yes, the HUD includes a safeMode option that strips ANSI codes to ensure stable rendering on Windows and within terminal multiplexers.

What is the difference between the 'Focused' and 'Full' presets?

'Focused' is the default and shows essential elements like context and agent counts on one line, while 'Full' adds multi-line details showing exactly what each agent is doing.
