setup

A command for installing the Slime statusline HUD, a small live display in Claude Code showing session information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect existing statusline settings, add Slime's display without overwriting custom refresh settings, and enable live updates after restarting Claude Code.
Why use it?
It offers a manual setup path when the automatic installation does not add the display or when the user wants to configure it directly.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

setup scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

Help the user enable the Slime HUD:

Claude Code only.

  1. Resolve the plugin root: the directory containing this command file, up one level.
  2. Read ~/.claude/settings.json. If a statusLine key exists, show it and ask before replacing.
  3. Set:
{ "statusLine": { "type": "command", "command": "node \"<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/statusline.js\"", "refreshInterval": 2 } }

(refreshInterval: 2 re-runs the HUD every 2s on top of event updates, so the ⏱ session clock ticks live instead of only on tool calls. If a statusLine already exists, preserve any refreshInterval the user set.)

  1. Tell the user to restart Claude Code to see the HUD. (Avoid suggesting /statusline — that command regenerates the statusLine config and would overwrite Slime's.)

Note: for most users this is optional — Slime's session-start hook auto-installs the statusLine on first run (unless ~/.claude/slime/config.json has "autoHud": false, or a statusLine is already set). /slime:setup is the manual fallback.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

setup is a command published in the GitHub repository bitqs/Slime (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 283 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
