Generate and install a custom Claude Code status line with selectable columns (model, context, effort level, git, dir, worktree, vim) and a color theme. Context and effort elements color-change based on level. Triggers on "status line", "statusline", "customize status", "status bar", "effort level d

Status Line Generator Generate a custom Claude Code status line script with your choice of columns and a color theme. Installs directly to ~/.claude/settings.json . How It Works Claude Code supports custom status lines via a shell script configured in ~/.claude/settings.json . The script receives session JSON on stdin (model, context window, workspace, vim, worktree, etc.) and prints formatted text to stdout. This skill generates a bash script tailored to your preferences and installs it automatically. Script Directory Important : All scripts are located in the scripts/ subdirectory of this skill. Agent Execution Instructions : 1. Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as SKILL DIR 2. Script path = ${SKILL DIR}/scripts/<script name .mjs 3. Replace all ${SKILL DIR} in this document with the actual path Script Reference : Script Purpose scripts/generate.mjs Generate and install status line script from chosen options Prerequisites jq — required by the generated status line script to parse JSON input from Claude Code. On Windows, the script auto detects jq installed via WinGet or scoop; if jq is still not found, add its directory to your PATH manually. Bun — required to run the generator. Use npx y bun if not installed globally. Usage Options Flag Default Description elements <list model,context,cost,effort,style,git,dir Comma separated columns to display theme <name gruvbox Color theme — see table below effort icon <preset arrow ( ↯ ) for iconic themes, none otherwise Override the effort prefix icon. Presets: arrow , bolt , flash , reason , dot , none . A raw character is also accepted. install off Write script to ~/.claude/scripts/statusline.sh and update settings.json Columns Column Description Data source model Active model name (e.g. "Opus 4.7") model.display name context Progress bar + percentage — color changes with remaining capacity context window.remaining percentage cost Session API spend formatted as $X.XX in gold — hidden when rounds to $0.00 cost.total cost usd from input JSON effort Reasoning effort level — color changes with level effortLevel in ~/.claude/settings.local.json → ~/.claude/settings.json style Output style name (e.g. Explanatory, Learning) — hidden when "default" output style.name from input JSON git Git branch name (yellow when dirty) worktree.branch → git CLI dir Repo basename (original repo when in a worktree) worktree.original repo dir → workspace.current dir worktree Bold worktree:<id label (hidden outside a worktree) worktree.name → parent dir basename via git CLI vim Vim mode indicator (hidden when inactive) vim.mode Color changing elements context — bar fill + percentage color scale with remaining capacity: Remaining Color Meaning 50% green plenty of context 20–50% yellow watch out < 20% red nearly full — compact soon effort — value + optional prefix icon color by level: Level Color max , xhigh , high bold red medium yellow low , xlow , minimal green other / unset dim (or hidden when completely unset) Themes Theme Vibe Icons rendered in bar gruvbox Warm retro, muted ✦ model · ↯ effort · ❋ style · ⌂ dir · ⊕ worktree · ⎇ git · ⌨ vim dracula Modern dark, high saturation ◈ model · ↯ effort · ❋ style · ⌂ dir · ⊕ worktree · ⎇ git · ⌨ vim robbyrussell Classic oh my zsh no prefix icons — colors + labels only minimal Default terminal colors no prefix icons — plain text The context column intentionally skips a prefix icon — the colored progress bar is already visually rich. The effort prefix ( ↯ ) is baked into iconic themes and can be overridden with effort icon . Effort icons Pass effort icon <preset to swap the glyph in front of the effort value. Presets: Preset Glyph Notes arrow ↯ Electric arrow — default , narrow bolt ϟ Greek koppa — narrow lightning flash ⚡ Classic lightning — wide in emoji presentation fonts reason ∴ Therefore dot ◉ Filled circle none (hidden) Drop the icon entirely You can also pass any raw character as effort icon <char . Worktree behavior : When inside a git worktree (detected via the input JSON's worktree. fields or via git rev parse git common dir fallback), the worktree column shows a bold worktree:<id label using the parent dir name (e.g. ~/.codex/worktrees/46a6/clawmaster → worktree:46a6 ). The git column prefers worktree.branch from the input JSON; the dir column prefers worktree.original repo dir so the repo identity stays stable across worktrees. Invocation This skill can be invoked with or without arguments: No args ( /webup statusline ): Interactive prompt via AskUserQuestion to pick columns and theme. With args ( /webup statusline dracula ): NLP parse for theme and column preferences. Arg parsing (natural language) The args string is free form text. Use NLP to extract: 1. theme — match against: gruvbox, robbyrussell, minimal, dracula. Recognize aliases (暗黑=dracula, 极简=minimal, 复古=gruvbox, レトロ=gruvbox). 2. elements — look for mentions of: model, context/进度/コンテキスト, effort/推理强度/努力度, git/分支/ブランチ, dir/目录/ディレクトリ, worktree/工作树/ワークツリー, vim. Unspecified fields use defaults: model,context,effort,git,dir columns, gruvbox theme. Workflow 1. If no args provided : Use AskUserQuestion to ask 2 questions in a single prompt. AskUserQuestion caps each question at 4 options, so offer curated presets for columns rather than an exhaustive toggle list. If the user picks "Other", interpret their free text as a comma separated column list (or a natural language description that maps to one). Q1 — Column preset (single): Which columns to display? Offer these 3 curated presets — AskUserQuestion will auto append an "Other" option that lets the user type a free text column list or description. "Everything (Recommended)" — model,context,cost,effort,style,git,dir,worktree (all columns that have a useful signal today; vim is excluded because most users don't use vim keybindings) "Default" — model,context,effort,style,git,dir (balanced — drops cost and worktree; matches the skill's default flag value) "Essentials" — model,context,git,dir (lean; no effort, no style, no cost) If the user picks the auto added "Other", treat their free text as a comma separated column list, or as a natural language description to map to columns. Fall back to Default if parsing is ambiguous. Q2 — Theme (single): Color theme? "Dracula" — modern dark, purple/pink/cyan (Recommended) "Gruvbox Dark" — warm retro palette, 24 bit true color "Robbyrussell" — classic oh my zsh style, no icons "Minimal" — no decoration, dim separators only If args provided : Parse theme and columns from args. Skip the prompt. 2. Map user selections to script flags: Column preset → expand to the preset's canonical elements list: Everything → model,context,cost,effort,style,git,dir,worktree Default → model,context,effort,style,git,dir Essentials → model,context,git,dir Other (auto added by AskUserQuestion ) → parse the user's free text; keep only recognized column names ( model,context,cost,effort,style,dir,worktree,git,vim ). If parsing is ambiguous, fall back to Default . Theme → theme value (one of gruvbox , dracula , robbyrussell , minimal ) 3. Run the generator with install : 4. Tell user to restart Claude Code to see the new status line. Output Examples Dracula (all columns), remaining=49%, cost=$0.42, effort=high, output style=Explanatory, inside a worktree: (bar yellow — 49% remaining; $0.42 gold session spend next to the bar; effort "high" bold red; purple ❋ Explanatory sits between effort and dir; context carries no prefix icon — the bar is already visual enough) Gruvbox Dark (model + context + effort + dir + git), remaining=88%, effort=medium: (bar green — 88% remaining; effort "medium" yellow) Minimal (model + effort + dir + git), effort=low: (no prefix icons in minimal; effort "low" green) Notes Generated script is saved to ~/.claude/scripts/statusline.sh Running the skill again overwrites the existing script — just re run to change theme or columns The script uses jq to parse JSON input — make sure it's installed. On Windows, the script auto detects WinGet and scoop jq paths; if jq is still not found, add it to PATH manually. Git dirty detection uses no optional locks to avoid interfering with other git operations
