ccsl — Claude Code Status Line

Terminal configurator for Claude Code's built-in status line. Pick fields, pick a theme, hit Enter.

Fields

Themes: default · minimal · neon · pastel · mono

Requirements

- Python 3 (standard library only, no pip install)
- Claude Code

Usage

Quick install:

Or clone and run:

Navigate with ↑ ↓, toggle fields with Space, switch sections with Tab, install with Enter, quit with q.

Restart Claude Code after installing to see your status line.

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.
