Requirements

• jq
• Git (for repo/branch detection)

Installing jq

macOS:

brew install jq

Ubuntu/WSL:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y jq

Setup

1. Create the Claude config directory (if it doesn't exist):

   mkdir -p ~/.claude

2. Download the script:

   curl -o ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh \
     https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nathanialhenniges/01f699aaab4609fbc69bf8c3458813c1/raw/statusline-command.sh

3. Make it executable:

   chmod +x ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh

4. Configure Claude Code to use it by adding to ~/.claude/settings.json:

   {
     "statusLine": {
       "command": "bash ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh"
     }
   }

   Or if you already have a settings.json, just add the statusLine key.

5. Restart Claude Code to see the status line.

Customization

The script is plain bash — edit ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh to tweak the layout, change emojis, or add/remove fields. All data comes from JSON piped in by Claude Code on stdin.
