A feature-rich, modular statusline for Claude Code CLI that brews real-time development information including context usage, rate limits, costs, and more.

What's New in v1.8.0 🆕

- barista config TUI - Reconfigure modules, theme, and WAN privacy post-install without re-running the installer (barista config, --show, --set, --toggle)
- Homebrew install - brew tap pstuart/tap && brew install barista (primary path; git clone still supported)

v1.7.0

- Smart 429 Backoff - Respects Retry-After headers for precise backoff timing instead of fixed delays
- Unknown Module Fix - Installer no longer errors on unrecognized module names in config

  - truncate - Cuts output with…

How status lines work

A status line is a command Claude Code runs to draw the bar under the prompt. It gets the session as JSON on stdin (model, folder, cost, context) and prints one or more lines.
Point the statusLine setting in ~/.claude/settings.json at it: { "statusLine": { "type": "command", "command": "<the command from the README>" } }.
Or run /statusline inside Claude Code and describe what you want.
