OpenCode HUD

OpenCode 2 plugin that displays a persistent status HUD below the text input in the TUI. It is a native TUI plugin, not an assistant-message renderer, so it does not add HUD content to a session transcript.

Install

Add it to the plugins array in ~/.config/opencode/cli.json, for example:

{
  "plugins": [
    "@ndom91/opencode-hud"
  ]
}

OpenCode downloads and loads the package. Restart OpenCode after changing the configuration.

[!WARNING] To show 5h and weekly Codex subscription usage, the HUD plugin queries the OpenAI endpoint through your system's Codex authorization. This is disabled by default. See PRIVACY.md before enabling it with the codexUsage package option. This is the same mechanism as used by CodexBar and others.

Status Rows

The default HUD can show the following native TUI data:

• Project path, branch, dirty state, and local change summary.
• Session context usage, including an amber compaction likely soon warning at 80% usage and the active compaction state.
• Up to two running shell commands and the four most recent tool activities.
• The most recent failed tool for 15 seconds. A new user turn clears the failure row.
• Up to three running subagents, including elapsed time and their own context percentage.
• Optional Codex 5-hour and weekly usage limits.

Configuration

The default HUD shows all available status rows. Disable individual groups with package options in ~/.config/opencode/cli.json:

{
  "plugins": [
    {
      "package": "@ndom91/opencode-hud",
      "options": {
        "agents": false,
        "codexUsage": true,
        "compaction": false,
        "context": true,
        "git": true,
        "shell": true,
        "tools": true
      }
    }
  ]
}

Local Development

Requirements:

• opencode2
• Node.js 24+

Install dependencies and validate the project:

pnpm install
pnpm format
pnpm typecheck
pnpm test

Start OpenCode from this repository:

opencode2 .

OpenCode discovers .opencode/plugins/tui/status.tsx automatically. Start or open a session to see the HUD under the prompt.

[!NOTE] The OpenCode 2 plugin API is beta and liable to change. Please check NOTES.md and validate against the installed @opencode-ai/plugin runtime types if making changes.
