Quick Start

**One-liner** (no git clone needed):

curl -fsSL tmux.jimmyliao.net/install | bash

Or manually:

git clone https://github.com/jimmyliao/agent-status-tmux.git
cd agent-status-tmux
./scripts/install.sh

That's it. Every tmux session (`tmux new -s xxx`) will automatically show AI status. Works whether your status bar is at the top or bottom.

Installs to `~/.agent-status-tmux` by default. Override with `AGENT_STATUS_TMUX_DIR=/your/path`.

Requirements

• tmux >= 3.2 (hex color #[fg=#rrggbb] support; tested on 3.4–3.6)
• jq
• Claude Code and/or Gemini CLI

Features

• Real-time token usage, cost, and session duration in tmux status-right
• Claude Code: context %, tokens, actual cost, duration, rate limits (5h/7d)
• Gemini CLI: context %, tokens, estimated cost, duration
• Shows both providers simultaneously when both are active
• Process-aware: detects running AI sessions, not just stale cache files
• Gemini CLI Extension with AfterAgent/SessionStart hooks
• Fallback: direct-reads Gemini chat recordings when hooks are unavailable
• Tokyo Night color scheme (customizable)

Installation Details

git clone https://github.com/jimmyliao/agent-status-tmux.git

2. Patch ~/.claude/statusline.sh to write session data (with backup)
3. Update ~/.tmux.conf to display AI status (with backup)
4. Link the Gemini CLI extension (if Gemini CLI is installed)
