Key Points

  • A developer created “claude-hud-lcars,” a Star Trek TNG LCARS-style single-page HTML dashboard that scans the user’s local Claude Code setup (skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers, memory files, etc.) and renders it as a clickable interface.
  • The project includes a “live mode” where an in-universe COMPUTER bar communicates with Claude and can provide voice output, synthesized LCARS sound effects, and interactive boot/offline behaviors.
  • Everything is packaged with zero dependencies and runs as a single HTML file via the command `npx claude-hud-lcars`.
  • The GitHub repository presents the tool as a UI layer over an AI coding environment, making it easier to inspect what’s configured and view file contents through a detail panel.
  • The included periodic “Q from the Continuum” humor element highlights the project’s focus on fun while still being directly useful for managing AI coding setups.

Side project that got out of hand. It's a dashboard for Claude Code that scans your ~/.claude/ directory and renders everything as a TNG LCARS interface — skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers, memory files, all clickable with a detail panel that shows the full content.

In live mode there's a COMPUTER bar that talks to Claude and responds as the ship's computer. Voice output, synthesized LCARS sound effects, boot sequence, Red Alert when things go offline. Q from the Continuum appears uninvited every few minutes to roast your setup.

Zero dependencies. One HTML file. npx claude-hud-lcars
