Claude Code User Creates Mods for Usage Limits and Chat Compaction

A developer has created two modifications for Claude Code, a tool that interacts with Anthropic's Claude models. The first modification, 'limits,' displays the user's 5-hour and weekly usage limits directly above the prompt input area and provides visual warnings when usage is on track to exceed these limits. The second modification, 'idle-compact,' aims to reduce costs for users returning to large chat sessions by automatically compacting them after a period of inactivity. These mods are designed to enhance the user experience and provide better awareness of usage constraints. AI

IMPACT Provides users with better visibility into Claude's usage limits and helps manage chat session costs.
