Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00029 | $0.00253 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00127 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00051 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00025 |
Grade A, and why
gemini-cli-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
Gemini CLI HUD Extension
Overview
This extension provides a real-time, sticky status bar (HUD) at the bottom of your terminal during Gemini CLI sessions. It tracks token usage, context progress, and tool activity.
Capability
- Sticky UI: Stays at the bottom of the terminal using DECSTBM scroll regions.
- Token Monitoring: Real-time display of token consumption with progress bar.
- Context Tracking: Visual progress bar for context window usage percentage.
- Tool Activity: Summary of tool calls with counts (e.g.,
✓ Read ×8 | ✓ Bash ×4). - Session Info: Model name, GEMINI.md count, extensions count, active skill, elapsed time.
Troubleshooting
- If the HUD disappears, it will redraw on the next Gemini CLI event.
- If the terminal looks broken after exit, run
resetto clear the scroll region. - The HUD adjusts to terminal width — modules wrap to new lines on narrow terminals.
Usage
Automatically loads when the session starts. No user action needed.
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.

gemini-cli-hud is a skill published in the GitHub repository yideng-xl/gemini-cli-hud (8 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 253 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
