## What it 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.
