## What it does

This skill fixes daily.dev headline rendering inside Claude Code. Since release 2.1.275, headlines appear through a built-in hooks module. Upgraded setups often show duplicate text because an earlier entry remains inside `~/.claude/settings.json`. The assistant inspects that file and strips the outdated `statusLine` definition.

Older Claude Code builds lack hook support. For releases before 2.1.275, the skill configures a fallback command pointing to `statusline.mjs`. It resolves the plugin directory with a wildcard pattern so future updates do not break the path. Headlines refresh roughly every sixty seconds and support clickable terminal links.

Without `node` in your `PATH`, the status line script fails immediately. Users concerned with telemetry can turn off impression tracking by setting `DAILY_DEV_TELEMETRY=0` in their environment.
