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) npx @cwim/cli dashboard Repo: https://github.com/chihebnabil/cwim How Increasing Input Tokens Impacts LLM Performance : https://www.trychroma.com/research/context-rot submitted by /u/Affectionate-Olive80
