README
Leitstand
See background jobs, failures, disk space and context usage above your Claude Code prompt.
Leitstand is a mod for Claude Code. When Claude starts a background agent or shell, a list appears above your prompt. It shows what runs, what finished, what failed, how much disk is left and how full the context is. The name is German for control room.
Install
claude plugin marketplace add dominikmartn/leitstand
claude plugin install leitstand@leitstandThen start a new session. The list appears as soon as Claude starts a background agent or shell.
Leitstand needs a Claude Code version with mods (TypeScript plugin hooks). I tested it with Claude Code 2.1.288 on macOS.
What you see
Job rows show state, name, a bar and the elapsed time. Resource rows show how much is used.
- running: a background agent or shell. The bar moves to show activity, not progress. The time counts up.
- done: the job finished. It stays until your next prompt, so you do not miss it.
- needs you: a job failed, or the disk is running low. The footer counts these in yellow. For a failed job, Claude reports the cause in the chat.
- disk: free space on this machine. The bar and the percent show how much is used. It warns at 35 GB free and turns red at 20 GB.
- context: tokens used of the session's window. From 250k tokens on, the row turns yellow and says
compact, as a reminder to run/compact. Leitstand never compact
