alt Hacker News> kept the context above the ~60% remaining level where coding models perform at their absolute best
Maybe this is obvious to Claude users but how do you know your remaining context level? There is UI for this?

Yes you can literally just ask Claude Code to create a status line showing context usage. I had it make this colored progress bar of context usage, changing thru green, yellow, orange, red as context fills up. Instructions to install:

Claude code has a /context command.

/context
You can also show context in the statusline within claude code: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline#context-window-us...
