About agent-usage-guard
Key Strengths
- Claude Code mod that holds back the patterns that burn a usage window fastest: subagent fan-out, heavy context and retry loops
- Plan-aware thresholds: asks for approval at 80% of your window and refuses at 95%
- Runs fully locally with no network calls, fails open if something breaks, and is MIT-licensed
Limitations to Consider
- Can't see sessions on other machines or teammates in other panes, so shared plans can still get drained
- API-key sessions don't get plan percentages, and non-interactive `claude -p` runs refuse instead of asking
- Small, young project (about 57 stars) that needs Claude Code v2.1.287 or newer; a Show HN commenter asked for per-plan presets
Best For
Claude Code Pro or Max users who keep hitting their usage window mid-task.
Skip it if: You use Claude via API keys, or you'd rather just turn off subagent fan-out yourself.
