statusline-setup

A command that connects Claude Code’s main status line to the statusline@pardes plugin.

In plain words
What is it for?
It refreshes the launcher, updates Claude Code’s settings when allowed, and reports whether the plugin was wired or the existing custom setting was left unchanged.
Why use it?
It provides an on-demand way to install or refresh the status-line launcher while preserving a custom status line already configured by the user.

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

statusline-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.

What it actually says

statusline-setup

Explicitly install or refresh the main status line for the statusline plugin.

The subagent status line is wired automatically (it ships in the plugin's bundled settings.json). The main line cannot be set declaratively by a plugin, so it is wired by a SessionStart hook — and by this command, for an on-demand (re)install.

What to do

Run the plugin's setup in force mode. This refreshes the stable launcher at ~/.claude/statusline-pardes.sh so it points at the current plugin source, then points ~/.claude/settings.json's statusLine at that launcher:

STATUSLINE_PARDES_FORCE=1 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/session-start.sh"

Then report the outcome to the user based on what the script printed:

  • Wired / refreshed — the main status line now renders via this plugin. Tell the user it is active. It takes effect on the next status-line refresh; a new session guarantees it.
  • Custom status line left untouched — the user already has their own statusLine command in settings.json. The plugin will NOT overwrite it. To switch, tell the user to remove the existing statusLine key from ~/.claude/settings.json, then run /statusline-setup again.

How to revert

Tell the user they can remove the wiring at any time by deleting the "statusLine" key from ~/.claude/settings.json. The launcher file ~/.claude/statusline-pardes.sh is harmless to leave or delete; it is recreated whenever the plugin is active and a session starts.

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.
