Research shows quality drops start at ~73% utilization (~147K/200K tokens), but Claude Code gives you zero warning.

By the time you feel it, you've already lost 20-30 minutes to degraded output.

So I built CWIM a live terminal dashboard that monitors your context window, predicts when you'll hit critical, and tells you exactly what to do (/compact, /clear, kill an MCP, etc.) before you waste time on garbage responses.

What it does:

• Auto-detects all your Claude Code sessions across projects
• Live progress bar with color-coded risk levels
• Predicts "minutes until critical" based on your actual burn rate
• Shows which files/MCPs are eating your tokens
• Cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux)
