Installation
# Add to your Claude Code skills
git clone https://github.com/graykode/abtopabtop
Like htop, but for your AI coding agents.
See every Claude Code and Codex CLI session at a glance — token usage, context window %, rate limits, child processes, open ports, and more.
Why
- Running 3+ agents across projects? See them all in one screen.
- Hitting rate limits? Watch your quota in real-time.
- Agent spawned a server and forgot to kill it? Orphan port detection.
- Context window filling up? Per-session % bars with warnings.
All read-only. No API keys. No auth.
Install
macOS / Linux
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/graykode/abtop/releases/latest/download/abtop-installer.sh | sh
Cargo
cargo install abtop
Other
Pre-built binaries for all platforms are available on the GitHub Releases page.
Usage
abtop # Launch TUI
abtop --once # Print snapshot and exit
abtop --setup # Install rate limit collection hook
Recommended terminal size: 120x40 or larger. Minimum 80x24 — panels hide gracefully when small.
Windows
abtop requires Unix tools (ps, lsof) and is not supported natively on Windows. Use WSL instead:
wsl --install
# Inside WSL:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/graykode/abtop/releases/latest/download/abtop-installer.sh | sh
abtop
