## What it does

The plugin adds two slash commands: `/statusline-wizard` builds a status line from scratch, `/statusline-edit` modifies an existing one. The wizard asks grouped questions: what to show about the session (tokens, model, reasoning effort, progress bar), the project (directory, git branch, sandbox indicator on Mac and Linux), timing (duration, clock, Claude Code version, cost), and plan limits.

For Pro and Max plans, the line shows 5-hour and 7-day rate limit percentages with color thresholds (green under 70%, yellow 70–79%, red 80%+). For Enterprise subscriptions and API accounts that lack rolling windows, you can enable the monthly spend budget segment: the plugin sums all session costs on the machine and displays `mo:$47.20/$2000 2.4%`. The progress bar fills with Unicode blocks, the `Sandbox` indicator appears in orange while the Bash sandbox is on.

The wizard detects your OS, creates `statusline.sh` or `statusline.ps1`, writes the path into `~/.claude/settings.json`, and makes the script executable. The editor reads variables from the existing script and rewrites only those, leaving the rest intact.

# AI-Statusline Plugin

**Status line customization for Claude Code.** Interactive setup and edit wizards for configuring a custom status line with progress bars and customizable display options.

> **How this relates to the native `/statusline` command:** Claude Code ships a built-in `/statusline` command that covers baseline setup (describe what you want, or auto-configure from your shell prompt). This plugin goes further with richer, opinionated widgets: a Unicode progress bar with color thresholds, 5-hour/7-day rate-limit percentages with color coding, a month-to-date spend budget for Enterprise/API seats that have no rate limits, a reasoning-effort indicator with `/effort`-matched colors (including ultracode detection), a sandbox indicator that appears while the Bash sandbox is on, session cost and duration segments, granular per-segment toggles, and a matching `/statusline-edit` flow for reconfiguring later without regenerating the script.

## Example Status Line

```
Opus 5 (1M context) · high · 420k/1000k ▓▓▓▓░░░░░░ 42% · 5h:12% 7d:4% · my-project · main · 5m 23s · 2:45pm · v2.1.80
```

On an Enterprise or API seat with a monthly spend cap (no 5h/7d rate limits), with the optional spend budget enabled:

```
Opus 5 (1M context) · high · 71k/1000k ░░░░░░░░░░ 7% · mo:$47.20/$2000 2.4% · my-project · main · 7m 48s · 4:52pm · v2.1.267
```

With the optional sandbox indicator enabled, `Sandbox` appears in orange after the effort level while the Bash sandbox is on:

```
Opus 5 (1M context) · high · Sandbox · 420k/1000k ▓▓▓▓░░░░░░ 42% · 5h:12% 7d:4% · my-project · main · 5m 23s · 2:45pm · v2.1.293
```

## Available Skills

### `/statusline-wizard`

Interactive setup wizard for configuring Claude Code's custom status line from scratch.

**What it does:**

- Detects your operating system (Mac/Linux/Windows)
- Checks for existing configuration and offers to back up if present
- Runs an interactive wizard using grouped questions
- Creates the appropriate script file (`statusline.sh` or `statusline.ps1`)
- Updates `~/.claude/settings.json` with the statusLine configuration
- Makes the script executable on Mac/Linux

**Usage:**

```
/statusline-wizard
```

**Wizard Questions:**

The wizard asks about four categories of display options:

1. **Context Display** (what to show about your Claude session)
   - Token count (e.g., "420k/1000k")
   - Progress bar (visual percentage indicator)
   - Model name (e.g., "Opus 5 (1M context)")
   - Effort level (e.g., "high", with `/effort`-matched colors)

2. **Project Display** (what to show about your project)
   - Current directory name
   - Git branch name
   - Sandbox indicator (Mac/Linux; disabled by default, and shown only while the Bash sandbox is on)

3. **Session Display** (what to show about timing/costs)
   - Session duration
   - Current time
   - Claude Code version
   - Session cost (disabled by default)

4. **Usage Limits** (how close you are to your plan's limits)
   - Rate limit usage - 5h and 7d windows (Pro/Max plans)
   - Monthly spend budget - month-to-date spend across sessions on this machine (disabled by default; prompts for your monthly cap in USD and when it resets)

### `/statusline-edit`

Edit your existing status line configuration.

**What it does:**

- Detects your OS and locates the existing script file
- Reads current configuration values from the script
- Asks the same questions as the wizard
- Updates only the configuration variables (preserves the rest of the script)

**Usage:**

```
/statusline-edit
```

**Note:** If no status line script exists, you'll be prompted to run `/statusline-wizard` first.
