Ccbit — Development skill for Claude Code

ccbit

[](https://github.com/livlign/ccbit/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

A session-awareness status line for [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code), led by a stateful kaomoji face named **Bit**. On every render Bit reads the session transcript, works out what's happening, and narrates it in a line or two — like a small secretary sitting on the bottom row of your terminal.


ccbit answers, at a glance: *is anything working, done, waiting, broken, or stopped here — what just changed, and what's happening in my other sessions?*

It is a single Go binary. **No hooks, no daemons.** The transcript is the source of truth; Claude Code already writes it and owns its lifecycle. ccbit only reads it (plus three small, disposable state dirs of its own — see [How it works](#how-it-works)).

Install

Requires Claude Code ≥ v2.1.153 (for the `COLUMNS` width hint). No Go toolchain needed — this fetches a prebuilt binary (macOS/Linux, amd64/arm64) and configures the status line:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/livlign/ccbit/main/install.sh | bash

The installer verifies the downloaded binary's SHA-256 against the release's `checksums.txt` before installing, and refuses to install on a mismatch.

Open a new Claude Code session to see Bit. A settings file may only define **one** `statusLine`; if you already have one, the
