What is claudemd-statusline?

A command that adds a terminal-style status line to Claude Code. The line can show the user, computer, folder, Git branch, model, context usage, and time-based quota usage.

Use it to detect, install, refresh, inspect, or remove the claudemd status line, with an optional force mode for taking over a slot owned by another provider.

It puts useful session and usage information in one visible place, while checking whether another status line already owns the configuration.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.01427
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00714

Security

Grade B, and why

claudemd-statusline 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 8d 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.

Usage: /claudemd-statusline | /claudemd-statusline --force | /claudemd-statusline check | /claudemd-statusline remove

Step 0 — detect (deterministic, no writes)

Run: node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/statusline-adopt.js detect --json

Branch on verdict:

absent → slot is free. Continue to Step 1 (adopt).
claudemd → already configured. Report the stable path ~/.claude/claudemd-statusline.sh and dest.matchesShipped. If false, offer to re-run adopt (refreshes the renderer copy). STOP unless the user wants a refresh.
foreign → another provider owns the slot (report current). Do NOT write. Tell the user their existing statusline is untouched and that /claudemd-statusline --force will take it over (saving the current command so remove can restore it). Continue to Step 1 ONLY if the user passed --force.
host → the slot is owned by a composite host (host, e.g. code-graph) that renders multiple providers. Do NOT clobber it. Run detect --json and read providers + guestRegistered:
- guestRegistered: true → claudemd is already a segment. Report and STOP unless the user wants a refresh (re-run adopt).
- guestRegistered: false → claudemd will register as a guest so both segments show (claudemd | code-graph). Read the psCandidates array from detect --json — each entry is a hand-made PS1 (a bash script under ~/.claude/ that isn't a plugin, e.g. user-ps1) claudemd can supersede. If it is non-empty, list those ids and ASK: supersede one (adopt --supersede=<id>, saved for restore) or keep both (adopt). Continue to Step 1.

`check` mode (no writes)

Run Step 0. Report verdict, current, and whether ~/.claude/claudemd-statusline.sh exists and matches the shipped renderer (dest.matchesShipped). STOP.

`remove` mode

Show the transition first: run detect --json; if verdict is claudemd, state what settings.statusLine will become (restored prior command if one was saved, else removed) and that ~/.claude/claudemd-statusline.sh will be deleted. If verdict is host and guestRegistered, remove unregisters claudemd from the host's registry (restoring a superseded provider if one was saved) and deletes the renderer; the host keeps the slot. Then run: node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/statusline-adopt.js remove --json Report the action (removed / restored / unregistered / not-ours). For unregistered, cite restored if any. If not-ours, nothing was changed.

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.
