Heads-up display plugin for Claude Code
Real-time visibility layer for Claude Code sessions that surfaces context window usage, active tools, token consumption, and task status directly in your terminal. Turns the opaque agentic loop into a transparent, monitorable process. Particularly useful during long-running agent sessions where understanding resource consumption and progress helps you decide when to intervene, redirect, or let the agent keep working.
Claude HUD adds visibility to Claude Code sessions by displaying real-time metrics including context window usage, active tools, token consumption, and current task status. It turns the opaque agentic loop into a transparent process you can monitor.
The plugin is particularly useful during long-running agent sessions where understanding resource consumption and progress helps you make informed decisions about when to intervene, redirect, or let the agent continue working.
Free and 100% open source under the MIT license. Claude HUD has no licensing fees, subscriptions, or telemetry costs; it runs locally as a terminal statusline plugin with zero additional LLM token overhead.

Open-source extensible AI agent by Block
Autonomous coding agent from Block (Square) that works with any LLM through MCP-first extensibility. Apache 2.0 licensed with 47K+ GitHub stars and a Linux Foundation AAIF founding project. Designed for terminal-based workflows with deep tool integration, making it a strong open-source option for developers who want agent-assisted coding without vendor lock-in.
Open-source AI agent framework with persistent memory, reusable skills, tools, and messaging gateways
Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent framework with persistent memory, reusable skills, 40+ tools, cron jobs, and messaging gateways.
Making all software agent-native from the CLI
Universal bridge from HKUDS that makes any GUI software accessible to AI coding agents through command-line interfaces. Instead of requiring manual GUI interaction, it exposes application functionality as CLI commands agents can invoke programmatically. Addresses a core challenge in agentic development: most software targets human graphical interaction, but AI agents work best through text-based command interfaces.

computed discovery: shared active categories
Anthropic's agentic coding CLI
Anthropic's agentic CLI coding tool that delegates complex tasks to Claude directly from the terminal. Understands entire codebases via automatic context gathering, edits multiple files, runs shell commands, and manages Git workflows autonomously. Supports CLAUDE.md for persistent project instructions, integrates with VS Code and JetBrains, and uses Claude Opus/Sonnet with extended thinking for complex architectural decisions. Built for terminal-first developers.
Agentic coding tool by Sourcegraph (formerly Cody)
Amp is a multi-model coding agent for terminal, web, macOS/iOS, and IDE-connected workflows. Vendor docs describe the same agent and threads across surfaces, with remote Orbs, local Runners, Dial modes (low / medium / high / ultra), shared threads, MCP, plugins, and BYOK / linked ChatGPT subscriptions. Pricing spans a free Hobby tier, optional Megawatt ($20/mo) and Gigawatt ($200/mo) Individual plans, no-extra-charge Teams workspaces, pay-as-you-go credits, and Enterprise.
OpenAI coding agent for app, editor, terminal, and cloud work
Codex is OpenAI's coding agent for software development across the Codex app, editor, terminal, and cloud tasks. It helps write, review, debug, refactor, and automate code, with ChatGPT plan access for managed surfaces and API-key usage for CLI, SDK, and IDE workflows. The open-source CLI and SDK support local repository work, while cloud features add GitHub review, Slack/Linear integrations, worktrees, skills, MCP, and automations.
Blazingly fast recursive search
Ultra-fast recursive text search tool written in Rust that respects .gitignore rules automatically. Searches directories significantly faster than grep with smart defaults like line numbers, syntax highlighting, and compressed file support. The de facto replacement for grep among developers, combining the speed of Rust with sensible defaults that eliminate the need for complex command-line flags.
Turn GitHub repositories into interactive architecture maps
Visual architecture generator that transforms any GitHub repository into an interactive system design map within seconds. Analyzes repository structures and README documentation to produce validated component flowcharts, dependency graphs, and Mermaid diagrams. Supports direct URL routing by replacing hub with diagram, provides instant export to SVG and PNG formats, and handles private repositories through user-supplied personal access tokens.
Multi-agent orchestration plugin for Claude Code
Oh My ClaudeCode (OMC) is a plugin for Claude Code that adds multi-agent orchestration with 19 specialized agents, smart model routing between Haiku and Opus, and execution modes such as Autopilot, Team, Ralph, Ultrawork, and Deep Interview. It provides lifecycle hooks, a real-time HUD statusline, and source-backed Claude Code workflows that turn one session into a coordinated AI development team.
