Claude Standby Cockpit

Pure UI over claude-standby: a status bar item and a small action menu for the workspace's auto-resume task. All reads come from ~/.claude/auto-resume/state.json; all writes go through the claude-standby terminal CLI. The extension never spawns or parses Claude Code itself.

Features

• Onboarding / setup — first run opens a setup checklist (terminal CLI installed · Claude Code detected · state file healthy) with an inline Install action; once the CLI is present it hands off to the dashboard. Reachable later via the header "Setup" link.
• Full-page dashboard — clicking the activity-bar logo opens the dashboard as an editor tab: a schedule composer for the current workspace (which conversation to continue, a resume prompt prefilled to the default, an AM/PM time picker plus At reset / Auto-detect / 30m / 1h / 2h, importance tier), a list of scheduled resumes with live countdowns, an Other-workspaces picker that opens the same composer for any project, an activity timeline, a collapsible CLI reference, and an About row.
• Exact reset time — when your live usage data is available locally (streamed to Claude Code's status line), the dashboard and status bar show the real reset moment and usage (resets 6:00 PM · 54% used) instead of a guess, and auto-detect schedules to it. Works with zero setup when a cache already exists; otherwise claude-standby setup-statusline adds a tiny sensor. The resume fires a short safety buffer after the reset, not on the exact instant.
• Status bar — the tool's live state for the open workspace (waiting · resumes 8:30 PM, armed · resets 6:00 PM, resuming…, done, failed, …). Hovering shows a rich tool-status card (resume time, pinned session, attempts, Open-dashboard / Cancel), and flags a resume interrupted by a dead daemon. Refreshed on state-file changes plus a 5-second fallback poll.
• Menu / commands — Schedule Resume, Show Status, Cancel Task, Open Log, Install Terminal Tool, Check for CLI Update.
• Keeps the CLI current — a quiet once-a-day check compares your installed claude-standby against the latest release; when a newer one ships, a notification offers a one-click Update (it runs the CLI's own update, a download-validate-swap). Silent when offline or up to date; you can also trigger it from the menu ("Check for CLI update") anytime.
• About links — set claudeStandby.author.github / .linkedin / .buyMeACoffee in settings; each link shows only when its URL is set.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.85+
• The claude-standby terminal tool (the extension offers to install it on first activation). Auto-detected from PATH or ~/.local/bin; override with the claudeStandby.cliPath setting.

Install

• From the Marketplace — search "Claude Standby" in the Extensions view, or install the packaged .vsix via "Extensions: Install from VSIX…". The extension drives the claude-standby terminal tool, so install that too (the extension offers to on first run, or run the one-line installer from the main repo).

Running from source

1. Open this folder (vscode-extension/) in VS Code.
2. Press F5 (Run Extension) — an Extension Development Host window opens with the cockpit active.
3. Open any workspace folder in that window; the Standby status bar item appears bottom-left.

To package a .vsix: npx @vscode/vsce package.

Design

See the main repo's docs/ARCHITECTURE.md (Cockpit section) and docs/DECISIONS.md D21. Deliberately no bundler, no dependencies, plain JavaScript — this is a thin shell and should stay one.
