System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps users surface essential Claude Code context directly in the UI by designing and deploying a lightweight, customizable status line that appears at the bottom of the Claude Code interface.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dynamic context display: show model name, current project directory, and cost metrics in a compact line.
  • Git and workspace visibility: optionally include current directory and Git branch status for quick orientation.
  • Use Case: when reviewing long-running sessions, enable the statusline to monitor model, workspace, and cost in real-time without leaving the chat.

Quick Start

  • Install or enable the toolkit feature for Claude Code status lines.
  • Provide a JSON input payload (as described in the JSON schema) and ensure your statusline script prints a single line to stdout.
  • Customize samples from the included references to match your workstation theme and information priorities.
