## best-claude-hud Overview
`best-claude-hud` is a high-performance Claude Code statusline tool written in Rust. It shows the status information you actually need while using Claude Code in a terminal: model and live reasoning effort, workspace, Git branch/status, context window usage, and optional usage/rate-limit metadata.

</p>
The default statusline focuses on:
- Claude model display with live reasoning effort when available
- Claude Code launch directory, stable across temporary working-directory changes
- Git branch, clean/dirty/conflict state, and ahead/behind counts
- context window usage from Claude Code's official statusLine data, with active-transcript fallback
- optional usage/rate-limit, cost, session, and output style segments
