Description
If you use OpenCode 2 as your AI coding agent, it's easy to lose track of how much context budget a long session has burned through, or whether a background subagent is still running — OpenCode HUD puts that information in a small status bar under your input so you don't have to scroll back through the transcript to check.
OpenCode HUD is a free, open-source plugin for OpenCode 2 that adds a persistent status HUD below the text input in the terminal UI. It surfaces project metadata (path, git branch, dirty state, change summaries), session context usage with compaction warnings once you cross 80%, active shell commands and recent tool activity, and running subagents with their elapsed time and context percentage. There's an optional panel for OpenAI Codex usage quota reporting, and every status row can be toggled on or off to fit your workflow. It's built with TypeScript/TSX as a native TUI plugin, requires Node.js 24+ and pnpm to install, and is released under the MIT license.
💬 Our review
The short version: OpenCode HUD is a small, well-scoped plugin that solves a real annoyance for OpenCode 2 users — losing track of context usage and subagent state — but it's a one-star, early-days project tied to a single, fast-moving coding agent.
There's no direct competitor doing exactly this for OpenCode 2; the realistic alternative is just going without a HUD and eyeballing the transcript, or relying on Claude Code's built-in status line if you've switched agents entirely. What OpenCode HUD adds is genuinely useful for anyone running long agent sessions: a persistent, configurable status row showing context usage (with an 80% compaction warning), git state, and live subagent tracking, without cluttering the actual conversation. The risk is the usual one for a single-maintainer plugin built against a specific tool's plugin API — if OpenCode 2's TUI plugin interface changes, this could break until it's updated, and the Node.js 24+/pnpm requirement is a small extra step. If you're already deep in OpenCode 2 sessions daily, it's a low-cost, free install worth trying; if you're on a different coding agent, it's simply not applicable.
