Status Dashboard

aide status shows a comprehensive view of AIDE's internal state.

Usage​

aide status          # Full dashboard
aide status --json   # Machine-readable JSON

Output​

The dashboard includes:

  • Version and project info -- aide version, project root, current mode
  • Server -- whether MCP/gRPC server is running, uptime
  • File watcher -- watched paths, directory count, debounce delay, pending files
  • Code index -- files, symbols, and references indexed
  • Findings analysers -- per-analyser status, last run time, finding counts by severity
  • MCP tools -- all tools with per-tool execution counts
  • Stores -- paths and sizes of all data files
  • Environment -- active AIDE_* environment variables

Status Line (Claude Code)​

AIDE can display session info in Claude Code's status line, showing mode, duration, task counts, and token usage.

Add to .claude/settings.json:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "bash ~/.claude/bin/aide-hud.sh"
  }
}

Example output:

[aide(0.0.40)] mode:idle | 12m | tasks:done(6) wip(0) todo(0) | 5h:115K ~<1m

Shows: version, current mode, session duration, task status, 5-hour token usage, and estimated time to rate limit.
