Siga Brings Live Progress Bars to Claude Code, Eliminating Terminal Clutter

A new Claude Code plugin offers developers a cleaner way to monitor long-running tasks, replacing repetitive build logs with a single in-place progress bar that updates in real time. Siga, an open-source plugin for Claude Code 2.1.275 and newer, intercepts common development commands—npm, cargo, Docker, pytest, git, and over 25 other tools—and displays their progress as a live bar that persists and fills in the same terminal line. The plugin leverages terminal graphics capabilities in Ghostty 1.3+ and Kitty 0.49+, rendering progress via GPU-accelerated shaders in Ghostty and image placeholders in Kitty, while preserving error messages, exit codes, and stderr output unchanged.
