STATUS LINE

See the agent's state without asking.

A custom line at the bottom of the terminal: current branch, tokens consumed, mode, active session.

Configured via /statusline. It is the vim status bar, but for AI.

A small hack that kills the huh, is it still running or did it hang. One glance and you know.

In practice

# In the CLI:
/statusline

# Or straight in ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "echo \"$(git branch --show-current) · $(date +%H:%M) · tokens: $TOKENS\""
  }
}
