Feature request
Add a visible context/token usage indicator in the Control UI webchat interface.
Problem
Currently, the only way to check context usage is:
- Ask the agent to run
session_status (consumes tokens)
- Run
clawdbot status from CLI
- Check the Sessions tab (requires switching views)
There's no at-a-glance indicator while chatting.
Proposed solution
A persistent UI element (progress bar, badge, or status line) showing:
- Tokens used / max (e.g.
44k/200k)
- Percentage (e.g.
22%)
- Visual alert when approaching limits (color change at >80%, >90%)
Mockup ideas
- Small progress bar under the chat input
- Badge in the header:
📊 44k/200k (22%)
- Status line that turns orange/red when context is running low
Why it matters
Users need to know when to /clear or start a new session before hitting context limits and losing conversation history to compaction.
