Status Line for Claude Code
One bash script (just jq) that shows me the model, context usage, session cost, time, and git branch in a single line. Public on GitHub.
This app is open on GitHub. Fork it, use it and build on it. I like giving it to the community.
About the project
A small thing, but one I look at all day. A single line under the Claude Code prompt showing which model I'm on, how full my context is, how much the current session is costing me, what time it is, and which git branch I'm on.
It's a single bash script that needs only jq. Nothing more. Public on GitHub, fork it for yourself.
What you get
- I keep an eye on session cost in real time.
- Model, context, and git branch on one line.
- Zero dependencies, just one script.
- Public on GitHub, fork it for yourself.
How it works (under the hood)
- A single bash script, a single dependency: jq.
- Renders the model, context, cost, time, and git branch.
