Act on this, mostly signal

Unspin adds live step progress to Claude Code shell commands

What to do

Install the Unspin plugin to see step status, progress bars and ETA for batched shell commands.

Why

The plugin works through a plugin command or installer, and older Claude Code versions before 2.1.287 need the script.

What the research found

Unspin is a Claude Code plugin that marks steps of batched shell commands and shows live progress bars, ETA and step status; install is a plugin command or an installer script for versions before 2.1.287.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

Install via /plugin marketplace add nkyriazis/unspin then /plugin install unspin@unspin with no configuration 98%
Shows per-step progress bars, ETA and a live spinner label for batched shell commands 97%
Status line flow needs Claude Code 2.1.287 or later; installer offered for older versions 62%
