setup

A setup command that configures a two-line status display for Claude Code. The display can show the model, context window, cost, Git information, and rate limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing the matching status display binary on macOS, Linux, or Windows and connecting it to Claude Code's settings.
Why use it?
It avoids manually finding the right prebuilt program for your operating system and editing the Claude Code settings file yourself.

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.

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

setup 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 2d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are configuring the claude-code-plugin-hud statusline. Goal: detect the user's platform, pick the matching prebuilt binary bundled under this plugin's dist/, and write a statusLine entry into their settings.json pointing at it.

The plugin's root directory is available as the environment variable ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}. The prebuilt binaries live at:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/<rust-target-triple>/claude-hud[.exe]

Step 1 — Detect platform and architecture

Use the harness environment context (Platform:) plus a probe. Map to a Rust target triple and binary name:

Platform (uname/env) Arch Target triple Binary
macOS (darwin) arm64 aarch64-apple-darwin claude-hud
macOS (darwin) x86_64 x86_64-apple-darwin claude-hud
Linux (glibc) x86_64 x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu claude-hud
Linux (glibc) aarch64 aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu claude-hud
Linux (musl/Alpine) x86_64 x86_64-unknown-linux-musl claude-hud
Linux (musl/Alpine) aarch64 aarch64-unknown-linux-musl claude-hud
Windows (win32) x86_64 x86_64-pc-windows-msvc claude-hud.exe
Windows (win32) arm64 aarch64-pc-windows-msvc claude-hud.exe
  • macOS/Linux: run uname -sm to get OS and arch (arm64/aarch64 vs x86_64).
  • Linux glibc vs musl: prefer the -gnu build. Use -musl only when glibc is absent (e.g. Alpine) — a quick check is ldd --version 2>&1 | grep -qi musl.
  • Windows: usually x86_64; pick aarch64-pc-windows-msvc on ARM devices (Surface Pro X, etc). Claude Code may route the command through Git Bash or PowerShell — either launches the .exe directly.

Step 2 — Verify the binary exists

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.

setup is a command published in the GitHub repository sj817/claude-code-plugin-hud (3 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 1,169 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
