It captures execution duration, error signals, and behavioral patterns, then exposes this data to Hud's IDE plugins, CI/CD integrations, and AI coding agents like Cursor and Copilot. The sensor is designed to be lightweight and read-only, transmitting only anonymized function metadata and runtime statistics over TLS.\n\nThe package targets engineers and AI agents building production-safe code by providing continuous visibility into how functions actually behave in live environments. It integrates with modern development workflows\u2014VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and agentic development tools\u2014without requiring source code transmission or complex configuration. The library depends on aiohttp, requests, psutil, orjson, and dataclasses to handle async communication, system metrics, and efficient serialization.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and provides a genuinely useful capability for production visibility. However, the license treatment is unclear\u2014verify the actual license terms before committing to production use. Medium install friction is acceptable given the value of runtime instrumentation. Ensure your platform (Python 3.8+, x86_64 or aarch64) is supported and that you understand the data transmission model and any backend service requirements."},"id":"hud-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hud-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hud-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/hud-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"hud-sdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Hud runtime code sensor for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":107272,"position":12621,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.1"}
