hud

hud is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from scalarian/oh-my-codex. It costs 24 tokens per session (233 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A live status view for an OMX coding session, including its tasks, workers, reviews, messages, and saved state. It shows what the runtime is actually doing instead of relying on memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before acting to inspect the current session and branch, active modes, task queues, reviews, team status, and research activity. It can also provide the status in JSON for another tool to read.
Why use it?
It helps catch outdated task information, inactive workers that appear active, and work that is reported as healthy while reviews or messages are piling up.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hud scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

HUD

Purpose

Use $hud before trusting your memory of what the runtime is doing. The HUD is the fastest way to catch task drift, stale worker state, or fake progress.

Commands

  • omx hud
  • omx hud --json
  • omx hud --watch

Read It For

  • current session and branch
  • active modes
  • queued vs active vs review tasks
  • inbox and review pressure
  • team backend state and stale workers
  • autoresearch activity

Workflow

  1. Read the HUD.
  2. Compare it against the actual .omx/ artifacts if anything looks wrong.
  3. Fix state drift before continuing execution.

Rules

  • If the HUD says a mode is active, there must be durable evidence.
  • If the HUD says the team is healthy but inbox/reviews are piling up, the runtime is not healthy.
  • Prefer --json when another tool or agent needs to consume the state.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
