Claude Code Line

Minimal, customizable statusline for Claude Code CLI.

Install

npm install -g claude-code-line

Then open the TUI to customize and save to Claude Code:

claude-code-line

Select Save to Claude Code and restart Claude Code to apply.

Manual setup

To set it up without the TUI, add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "claude-code-line"
  }
}

Update

npm install -g claude-code-line

Themes

• Default — minimal neutral statusline: project name, git branch, model, context usage, effort, rate limits, and CLI version
• Custom — choose which widgets to show, reorder them, change colors, and customize display formats

Widgets

| Widget | Shows | |--------|-------| | Name | Current project folder | | Git | Branch and diff stats | | Model | Claude model name | | Tokens | Context usage and token count (customizable format) | | Effort | Reasoning effort level | | 5h Rate | 5-hour usage and reset time (customizable format) | | 7d Rate | 7-day usage and reset time (customizable format) | | Extra | Extra usage credits | | Version | Claude CLI version | | Session Cost | Session cost in USD | | Session Clock | Elapsed session time |

Local development

Clone the repo and run directly from source:

git clone https://github.com/yasir-ali9/claude-code-line.git
cd claude-code-line
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js

To use your local build as the Claude Code statusline, add the absolute path manually to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "node /absolute/path/to/claude-code-line/dist/index.js"
  }
}

Restart Claude Code to apply.
