lot-map
lot-map is a free Claude Code plugin that draws a live map beside the chat, where every tool call, model step, hook, skill and subagent sends a pulse to its own station so you can watch what the agent is doing.
Why it matters
Developers who let Claude Code run long sessions usually scroll a list of commands to see what happened. lot-map turns that into a glanceable picture of where the work went, what failed and how full the context window is.
Highlights
- Stations for You, Model, Memory, Files, Shell, Network, Browser, Agents, Skills and Hooks; refusals and errors turn red.
- Shows the recent route between stations, how long each call runs, parallel calls, running subagents and a context-window ring that turns amber at 70% and red at 90%.
- Flags model changes during a session and keeps a feed of the last 16 actions below the map.
- Installs from the Claude Code plugin marketplace; options include five languages (en, ru, es, fr, de), light or dark theme and custom memory sources.
- Local only, per the README; a terminal pane needs at least 144 columns.
