Cyberpunk terminal HUD for Claude Code

What you get

A live HUD rendered below every Claude Code response:

⌘ ~/D/project  │  ⎇ main* ↑2 !3 +1  │  ✦ 12m  │  ⊟ auto
λ Opus  │  ⊡ ████████░░░░ 65% (200k)  │  ↑ 36k  ↓ 300  ⊗ 8.5k

Each line has Matrix-style katakana rain on the right. No Nerd Font needed.

Install

npm install -g shannon-statusline

Then add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "command": "shannon-statusline",
    "type": "command"
  }
}

Restart Claude Code — done.

No bundled runtime dependency. Uses whatever node is in your PATH. Immune to system library upgrades.

GUI bridge

Alongside the terminal HUD, the same data is pushed as NDJSON to a Unix socket at /tmp/shannon-<uid>.sock. Any local process listening on that socket receives live session state — model, context, tools, agents, todos, git, cost — on every hook tick.

Socket absent → silent no-op, zero overhead.

Development

git clone https://github.com/RealAlexandreAI/shannon-statusline.git
