webup-statusline — Claude Code skill: custom status line

What webup-statusline does

The skill generates a status line script to your liking and writes it into ~/.claude/settings.json. Columns come from a fixed list: model, context, cost, effort, style, git, dir, worktree, vim. Two of them shift color as the session runs — the context bar goes green above 50% remaining, yellow between 20 and 50, red below 20, while reasoning effort is colored from green on low up to bold red on high and above.

Themes control the look and the prefix glyphs. gruvbox and dracula draw icons before values; robbyrussell and minimal stick to color and labels. You can swap the effort glyph with --effort-icon — presets are arrow, bolt, flash, reason, dot, none, and a raw character works too.

Two things have to be in place. jq is called by the generated script to parse the JSON Claude feeds it; on Windows the script looks for jq from WinGet or scoop, and if that fails you add its directory to PATH yourself. The generator runs on Bun, so npx -y bun is enough. No jq means no status line at all, so check it before installing.
