VS Code extension that monitors Claude Code token usage with live rate-limit data from Claude Code's statusLine hook.

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cowinr/ccm/main/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cowinr/ccm/main/install.ps1 | iex

Then reload VS Code: Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window

On first activation, the extension will prompt you to install the bridge script. Click Install — this does two things:

1. Copies ccm-bridge.js to ~/.claude/ccm-bridge.js
2. Adds the bridge call to ~/.claude/settings.json under statusLine

Restart any running Claude Code sessions to start receiving live data.

If you already have a custom statusLine command in ~/.claude/settings.json, the extension can't safely patch it automatically. Add the bridge call to your existing statusLine command:

node "C:\Users\<you>\.claude\ccm-bridge.js"        # Windows
node "/Users/<you>/.claude/ccm-bridge.js"          # macOS/Linux

The Output panel (Claude Code Monitor channel) will show the exact path for your machine when you click Install.

• Session usage — 5-hour fixed window (live percentage from Anthropic's servers when bridge is active)
• Weekly usage — 7-day fixed window
• Active model — Sonnet / Opus / Haiku with colour-coded badge
• Burn rate — tokens per minute
• Histogram — 15-minute buckets over the last 7 days
• Reset countdown — exact time until rate limit resets

The status bar shows a compact view; click it or open the CCM sidebar panel for the full breakdown.

Settings are under ccm.* in VS Code preferences:

npm install
npm run compile
npx vsce package --allow-missing-repository

Full cycle (compile + package + install):

npm run compile && npx vsce package --allow-missing-repository && code --install-extension claude-code-monitor-0.1.0.vsix --force
