Claude Powerline is a vim-style statusline for Claude Code that displays information such as usage and Git status in the terminal. It is for Claude Code users who want a configurable session display, and the catalogue entries provide its plugin and command.
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00010 | $0.03899 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.01950 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00780 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00390 |
Grade C, and why
powerline scanned grade C with 3 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 5d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash - Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
Read `~/.claude/settings.json` if it exists. Add or update ONLY the `statusLine` key: Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 404 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Claude Powerline Setup Wizard
You are running an interactive setup wizard to configure the claude-powerline statusline for Claude Code. Follow these steps in order, using AskUserQuestion for each decision point.
Important Notes
- Do not skip steps or combine questions.
- Always wait for the user's response before moving to the next step.
- Track the user's choices in variables throughout the wizard.
- The final config is written as JSON to
~/.claude/claude-powerline.json. - Do NOT use the Agent tool or Explore subagents. All information you need is in this document.
- Do NOT read source code from the claude-powerline package. Use only the instructions below.
- IMPORTANT: After running any Bash or Read tool, repeat the key output as text in your response. Some users have a collapsed UI mode where tool outputs require a click to expand. Always relay important results (like version numbers, previews, or file contents) in your text so the user can see them without expanding.
Step 1: Check Node.js
Run this command to check if Node.js 18+ is available:
node --version 2>/dev/null || echo "not_installed"
Tell the user the detected version in your text response.
If Node.js is NOT installed or version is below 18
Display:
Claude Powerline requires **Node.js 18+** to run.
Install it from https://nodejs.org or via your package manager:
```bash
# macOS
brew install node
# Ubuntu/Debian
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
```
Then ask:
- Question: "Install Node.js or check again?"
- Header: "Node.js"
- Options:
- "I installed it, check again" -> Re-run the version check from the top of Step 1
- "Exit wizard" -> Tell them to install Node.js 18+ and exit
If Node.js 18+ IS installed
Continue to the next step.
Step 2: Nerd Font Detection
[!IMPORTANT] You cannot display nerd font glyphs properly in your text output. You MUST run the cat command below and let the terminal render it. After running it, tell the user to expand the bash output if they cannot see the icons.
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.

powerline is a command published in the GitHub repository Owloops/claude-powerline (1,165 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 3,899 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (asks for root, reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
