statusline-install

statusline-install is a command for coding agents from SI-IC/backlog-skill. It costs 49 tokens per session (254 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A command that adds a backlog count, such as the number of open items, to Claude Code's status line. The status line is the information bar shown by Claude Code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update the status line, check whether the badge is already installed, or later remove it with the matching uninstall command.
Why use it?
It makes pending backlog work visible during coding while preserving an existing status line when one is already configured.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Install

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/si-ic/backlog-skill/statusline-install
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/SI-IC/backlog-skill

Or install backlog, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 7 commands, 1 hook.

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-install 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 3d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

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

description: Add the backlog badge (📋 N open items) to the Claude Code statusLine. Wraps an existing statusLine if you have one, creates it otherwise. Edits ~/.claude/settings.json (or $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR).

What it actually says

Below is the engine's output for the statusLine install. The raw output is NOT shown to the user: it is injected into your context only. The user sees only what you print in this reply.

Relay the result faithfully: what exactly happened (new statusLine created / badge added on top of an existing one / already wired / aborted because of invalid JSON), and the path to the wrapper script. If the engine mentioned a settings backup, mention it too.

Tell the user: the badge appears in a new Claude Code session (the statusLine is re-read at startup). Rollback: /backlog:statusline-uninstall.

If the output starts with error: — show the error text and do not claim success.

!python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/backlog.py" statusline install 2>&1 || true

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.
