🧩 JetBrains Fork

This is a fork of sirmalloc/ccstatusline, published to npm as ccstatusline-jb. It stays in sync with upstream and adds one extra widget category for JetBrains tooling.

JetBrains Central widgets

Nine widgets that surface your JetBrains AI quota, parsed from the central quota CLI (falling back to the legacy jbcentral binary name when central is not installed):

| Widget | Example | |--------|---------| | Account | [email protected] | | Plan | JetBrains AI Ultimate | | Usage | $3.96 | | Quota | $200.00 | | Usage % | 2.0% | | Remaining | $196.04 | | Period Start | Jun 1, 2026 | | Reset Date | Jun 30, 2026 | | Days Until Reset | 29d |

Both the legacy Resets: <date> output and the current Quota period: <start> - <end> range (CLI 0.4.1+) are parsed. Reset Date and Days Until Reset track the period end in either format; Period Start shows the period start and is blank on the older CLI.

The central CLI is invoked only when at least one of these widgets is in your status line; its output is parsed once and cached for 180 seconds, so it never runs on every status-line render. The widgets appear under a JetBrains Central group in the widget picker.

The installed command stays ccstatusline — only the npm package name differs (ccstatusline-jb) — so existing hooks and settings.json integrations keep working. If you also have upstream ccstatusline installed globally, only one of them can own the global ccstatusline command.

Everything below this section is inherited from upstream.

🆕 Recent Updates

v2.2.22 - v2.2.23 - Powerline flex mode, layout controls, composable metrics, and safer config

• ⚡ Powerline flex mode - Flex separators now work in Powerline mode, letting Powerline status lines right-align content or absorb available width.
• 🌗 Per-widget dim styling - The color editor can dim an entire widget or only parenthesized text, with reset and clear-all actions covering dim state.
• 🧯 Safer settings recovery - Invalid settings.json files are left untouched, defaults render in memory, and the status line shows an invalid-config warning.
• 🧭 Selective Powerline alignment - Press x in the line editor to let a widget and the rest of its line keep their natural widths while earlier Powerline columns stay auto-aligned.
• 📏 Git widget width limits - Git Branch and Git Root Dir can cap their visible width with ellipsis-safe truncation while preserving hyperlink targets.
• 🔣 Current directory glyphs - Current Working Dir can prepend an optional custom glyph, including in raw-value mode.
• 🧠 Configurable context fallback - CCSTATUSLINE_CONTEXT_SIZE_FALLBACK overrides the default 200k last-resort context window when Claude Code and the model name do not report one.
• 🧩 Composable compaction metrics - Compaction Counter can render count, auto, manual, unknown, or reclaimed-token values independently for custom layouts.
• 🏷️ CLI version flag - ccstatusline --version now prints the installed package version and exits.
• 🛡️ Guarded invalid-config saves - The TUI warns when it loaded defaults for an invalid settings file and requires confirmation before replacing that file.
• 🔄 Usage display and cache fixes - Used/remaining direction now works in every percentage mode, account switches invalidate cached usage, and fetch locks no longer cause repeated requests or stale timeout output.
• ⏱️ Calmer reset timer startup - Reset timers show labeled loading placeholders instead of transient rate-limit errors while Claude Code's embedded usage-window data is still arriving.
• 🔇 Quieter install detection - Best-effort npm and Bun probes no longer leak expected package-manager errors into the TUI.

v2.2.21 - Cache widgets, compaction details, extra usage currency, and package fixes

• 🔣 Custom widget glyphs - Git and JJ symbol widgets can override or suppress their built-in glyphs from the TUI.
• 🔁 Compaction counter details - Compaction Counter now counts explicit compact_boundary markers and can optionally show trigger splits plus tokens reclaimed.
• 💸 Extra usage improvements - Added Extra Usage Used and formats extra usage amounts with the billing currency reported by the usage API.
• 📏 Custom command width context - Custom Command widgets receive terminal_width in stdin JSON when ccstatusline can detect the terminal width.
• 🧠 Prompt cache widgets - Added Cache Hit Rate, Cache Read, and Cache Write widgets with turn/session scopes and hide-when-empty behavior.
• 🔢 Token rounding fix - Token counts from 999950 through 999999 now render as 1.0M instead of 1000.0k.

v2.2.20 - Gradients, token accuracy, usage reliability, and Git PR/MR fixes

• 🌈 Gradient colors - Added per-widget and whole-line foreground gradients with named presets, custom hex stops, TUI picker support, and Powerline-aware rendering. Press g on the Edit Colors screen for widget gradients, or press g for Override FG Color in Global Overrides for a line-wide gradient.
• 🎯 More accurate token counts - Tokens Input and Tokens Output now prefer cumulative transcript metrics before falling back to context-window totals.
• 💸 Extra usage no-limit fix - Extra usage widgets no longer get stuck on [Timeout] for accounts with overage enabled but no monthly limit configured.
• 🔁 Compaction glitch filtering - Compaction Counter ignores transient below-1% context readings so incomplete status frames do not create false compaction counts.
• 🔀 SSH alias Git PR/MR detection - Git PR/MR detection resolves SSH host aliases while preserving canonical GitHub and GitLab hosts for CLI selection and fallback repo links.
• 🧪 Usage test cache isolation - Usage-fetch test probes now isolate HOME, USERPROFILE, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, and proxy variables so local tests cannot touch the real ccstatusline cache.
• 📦 Dependency refresh - Refreshed React/React DOM and Bun lockfile development-tooling resolutions for the release.

v2.2.14 - v2.2.19 - Version pinning, npm provenance, usage overage widgets, and Git lock avoidance

• 📌 Version pinning support - Added support for pinned global installs so Claude Code can keep running a specific ccstatusline version.
• 🔐 npm provenance attestations - Published packages now use trusted publishing provenance so users can verify where releases were built while avoiding long-lived npm publish tokens.
• 🔄 Moving from auto-update installs - If you currently use an auto-updating install, use the TUI uninstall option first, then reinstall to go through the version pinning flow. Your ccstatusline settings are preserved when uninstalling.
• 💸 Extra usage widgets - Added Extra Usage Utilization and Extra Usage Remaining widgets for monthly pay-as-you-go overage limits, with null rate-limit buckets handled as zero usage.
• 🔒 Git lock avoidance - Git helpers now pass --no-optional-locks so background status checks avoid creating index.lock races.
• 🧱 Older Git compatibility - Git widgets avoid newer command forms so repository status works on older Git installations.
• ⚡ Persistent Git cache - Git command output is cached under ~/.cache/ccstatusline/git-cache with configurable TTL and .git/HEAD/.git/index mtime checks to reduce repeated subprocess work.
• 🧭 Install flow polish - Pinned global install is now the default install option, with clearer wording for install and migration flows.
• 🪟 Hidden helper processes - Runtime child processes set windowsHide so helper commands do not open extra windows on Windows.
• 📏 Terminal width override - CCSTATUSLINE_WIDTH can provide an explicit terminal width when automatic probing is unavailable.

v2.2.13 - Weekly model usage, voice status, hooks, and docs

• 📊 Weekly Sonnet/Opus usage widgets - Added separate weekly usage widgets for Sonnet and Opus API buckets, matching Claude Code's /usage model split.
• 🎤 Voice Status widget - Added a widget that shows whether Claude Code voice input is enabled, with icon, text, word, and optional Nerd Font display modes.
• 📉 Timer short bars - Block Timer, Block Reset Timer, and Weekly Reset Timer now support compact short-bar progress displays.
• 🔕 Quieter hook output - Hook handling now suppresses no-op JSON output so non-status updates stay silent.

v2.2.9 - v2.2.12 - GitLab support, reset timers, context, compaction, and git widgets

• 🦊 GitLab PR/MR support - Git Branch and Git PR/MR now support GitHub, GitLab, and compatible self-hosted remotes, using gh or glab as appropriate.
• 🔄 Status line refresh interval - Installed configs can set Claude Code's statusLine.refreshInterval from the TUI when Claude Code >=2.1.97 supports it.
• 🧭 Wrap-around TUI navigation - Menu/list navigation and move/reorder modes now wrap at the first and last items.
• 📋 Clone widget shortcut - Press k in the item editor to duplicate the selected widget, with fresh Powerline background color for cloned Powerline items.
• 📊 Short bar display modes - Context percentage, Context Bar, Session Usage, Weekly Usage, Block Timer, and reset timer widgets can use compact bar variants.
• ⏱️ Usage time cursor - Session Usage and Weekly Usage progress bars can show the elapsed time position within the current usage window.
• 🕒 Reset timer timestamps - Block and Weekly Reset Timer widgets can show exact reset timestamps with compact formatting, 12/24-hour display, IANA time zones, and locale selection.
• 🪟 Context Window widget - Added a Context Window widget for total model window size, keeping Context Length focused on current context usage.
• 🔁 Compaction Counter widget - Added a Compaction Counter widget that tracks session context compactions, with icon/text/number formats, optional Nerd Font icon, and hide-when-zero behavior.
• 🧮 Git file status widgets - Added Git Staged Files, Git Unstaged Files, Git Untracked Files, and Git Clean Status for file counts and clean/dirty state.
• 🏷️ Clear context percentage labels - Context % and Context % (usable) now label rendered values as used or left when toggling used/remaining mode.
• ⚡ More Powerline caps - The Powerline separator editor now supports more than three start/end caps.
• 🧠 Thinking Effort updates - Added xhigh, show default when no effort is set, mark unknown future effort levels with ?, and track live status JSON plus /effort command changes. Claude Code reports Ultracode as xhigh in status line data.
• 🧮 More accurate token counts - Streaming duplicate JSONL entries are deduped so token widgets do not overcount live Claude Code output.
• 🏷️ Cleaner model display - The Model widget strips trailing context suffixes like (1M context); use Context Window when you want the total window size shown.
• 🧹 Cleaner empty-widget separators - Manual separators now collapse around widgets that render empty, avoiding dangling separators when hide-when-empty widgets disappear.
• 🧱 More resilient Git helpers - Git widgets handle missing or unusual git command output more defensively.

🌐 Localizations

The localizations in this section are third-party forks maintained outside this repository. They are not maintained, reviewed, or endorsed by this repository, so review their code and releases before using them.

• 🌏 中文版 (Chinese): ccstatusline-zh

🚀 Quick Start

No installation needed! Use directly with npx or bunx:

# Run the configuration TUI with npm
npx -y ccstatusline-jb@latest

# Or with Bun (faster)
bunx -y ccstatusline-jb@latest

Both commands launch the same TUI. During the initial setup flow, choose Pinned global install if you want Claude Code to stay on the ccstatusline version you are running instead of following @latest; the TUI will install that version globally with npm or Bun and write the pinned ccstatusline command to Claude Code settings. After a pinned install, you can run ccstatusline directly to launch the TUI in the future.

The interactive configuration tool provides a terminal UI where you can:

• Configure multiple separate status lines
• Add/remove/reorder status line widgets
• Customize colors for each widget
• Configure flex separator behavior
• Configure Claude Code status line refresh interval when supported
• Edit custom text widgets
• Install/uninstall to Claude Code settings
• Preview your status line in real-time

💡 Tip: Your settings are automatically saved to ~/.config/ccstatusline/settings.json

🔧 Custom Claude Config: If your Claude Code configuration is in a non-standard location, set the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR environment variable:

# Linux/macOS
export CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/custom/path/to/.claude

🌐 Usage API proxy: Usage widgets honor the uppercase HTTPS_PROXY environment variable for their direct API call to Anthropic.

🪟 Windows Support: PowerShell examples, installation notes, fonts, troubleshooting, WSL, and Windows Terminal configuration are in docs/WINDOWS.md.

When you install from the TUI, ccstatusline writes a statusLine command object to your Claude Code settings:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "npx -y ccstatusline-jb@latest",
    "padding": 0,
    "refreshInterval": 10
  }
}

refreshInterval is written only when your Claude Code version supports it (>=2.1.97). The TUI can set it to 1-60 seconds, or remove it by leaving the input empty.

Other supported command values are:

• bunx -y ccstatusline-jb@latest
• ccstatusline (for self-managed/global installs)

For pinned installs, launch the TUI with npx -y ccstatusline-jb@latest or bunx -y ccstatusline-jb@latest, then choose Pinned global install. The TUI pins the active version by installing it globally and writing "command": "ccstatusline" to settings.json; afterward, you can run ccstatusline directly to open the TUI.
