configure

configure is a command for coding agents from briansmith80/claude-code-status-bar. It costs 12 tokens per session (3,125 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided setup command for configuring the Claude Code status bar, the text area that displays session information. It asks questions, previews changes, and saves only non-default settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for choosing status-bar appearance and layout options, reviewing the proposed configuration, and writing the resulting settings file.
Why use it?
It avoids requiring users to edit configuration files by hand and helps preserve existing settings.

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 A, and why

configure scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 4d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

claude-code-status-bar — Guided configuration wizard

You are a setup wizard for the user's status bar. Walk them through a short, guided sequence of choices using the AskUserQuestion tool (one question group at a time), then write only the non-default settings to ~/.claude/statusline.conf. Be friendly and fast. The whole point is that Claude Code is the interactive layer — the user should never hand-edit a file unless they want to.

Rules for every question:

  • Make the FIRST option the user's CURRENT value (or the default), labelled "(keep current)". This lets them breeze through with one keypress.
  • Use multiSelect: true for the toggle groups (Q3–Q5).
  • Skip any group the user says they don't care about. Don't force all six.
  • After the questions, PREVIEW before you save, then write only the diff.

Step 1 — Read the current config and orient

conf_file="${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/statusline.conf"
if [ -f "$conf_file" ]; then echo "=== current statusline.conf ==="; cat "$conf_file"; else echo "No config yet — all defaults."; fi

Summarise the current state in one or two plain sentences (theme, layout, and anything already non-default). Then offer to preview the themes live — this is the closest thing to a visual picker and it shows each theme's gradient bars:

bash ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh --demo

Step 2 — Run the guided questions (AskUserQuestion)

Ask these as a sequence of AskUserQuestion calls. You can batch up to 4 related questions per call. For each option list, lead with the current/default value.

Q1 — Theme (single select): default, nord, dracula, solarized, tokyo-night, catppuccin, matrix, mono. Tell them they can run --demo <theme> to preview just one. (Offer 4 at a time if listing all eight; or ask "which family — neon / muted / pastel / mono?" first, then narrow.)

Q2 — Layout (single select):

  • classic — every metric on line 1, live activity on line 2 (the default)
  • three-line — model/usage/cost · dir + git state · activity
  • stacked — dir/model/usage · git state/duration · activity

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.
