Installation

Quick setup (recommended)

Copy the contents of `statusline.sh` (or `statusline.ps1` on Windows) and paste it into Claude Code with the prompt:

Use this script as my status bar

Claude Code will save the script and configure `settings.json` for you automatically.

Manual setup — macOS / Linux

Copy the script to your Claude config directory:

cp statusline.sh ~/.claude/statusline.sh
chmod +x ~/.claude/statusline.sh

Add the status line config to `~/.claude/settings.json`:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "~/.claude/statusline.sh"
