Vscode Claude Code Status Dot
wangdong233 · App
Each Claude Code tab in VS Code gets a coloured dot showing whether the session is running, done, waiting for your input, interrupted or idle. A four-light summary in the status bar counts sessions by state, and a readout shows token use, an optional dollar cost estimate and streaming rate for the active session. Favourites and Archive views appear in the Explorer. It works by patching the Claude Code extension, a companion extension reapplies the patch after Claude Code updates, and a revert option undoes it.

Why it's useful
You can leave several Claude Code sessions running and see at a glance which ones need you, without opening each tab.
What you could do with it
- Run several Claude Code sessions in parallel and tell from the tab dots which have finished and which are waiting on you.
- Pin the sessions you return to in the Favourites view and park the rest in the Archive view.
- Get a system notification with a sound when a session finishes or is interrupted by a rate limit.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
- Command execution is bounded
- inventory
- node child_process (companion/runtime/patch.js:63)
- synchronous shell execution (companion/runtime/patch.js:1831)
- node child_process (companion/runtime/patch.js:2261)
- synchronous shell execution (companion/runtime/patch.js:4414)
- An inventory of where the code starts another program, not a verdict on this row: whether each one runs a fixed program or whatever it is handed takes a reading by hand.
Published because it was found. A finding is information about where the limits are, not a verdict that the software is unsafe.
What this does not cover

In its maker's words
5-state status dots on every Claude Code tab (idle/running/done/pending/interrupted) + bottom 4-light aggregate + per-session token usage & $ cost + favorites sidebar (★) + completion/interruption notifications — minimal, reversible VSCode patch with auto

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.6.10, the file with digest sha512-rG9rL28/w8JHy1wQImugkZ4RbufQcpFNGv3OmwASY3pHK7jF5F1LEt+7bL4Wp4Hk8hz8uznIvxLksVpbHbL4Bg==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:
npx -y vscode-claude-code-status-dot@0.6.10Pinned to 0.6.10, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
