Why use it?
They tell the coding agent how the project is structured and which commands to run before testing changes.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is chongdashu/cc-statusline's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cc-statusline itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything cc-statusline configures →

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

cc-statusline CLAUDE.md 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 6d 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.

Project Overview

cc-statusline is a TypeScript CLI tool that generates custom statuslines for Claude Code. It creates optimized bash scripts that display directory, git info, model name, usage costs, and session time in the terminal.

Development Commands

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project (required before testing)
npm run build

# Watch mode for development
npm run dev

# Test the CLI locally
./dist/index.js init --no-install
./dist/index.js preview ./test-statusline.sh

# Test as if installed globally
npx . init

# Test the generated statusline with mock data
./test_debug.sh

# Run installation tests
./test/test-installation.sh

Architecture

The codebase follows a modular ESM TypeScript architecture:

  • CLI Layer (src/cli/): Commander.js-based CLI with interactive prompts using Inquirer
  • Generator Layer (src/generators/): Creates optimized bash scripts based on user configuration
  • Feature Modules (src/features/): Isolated implementations for git, usage tracking, and colors
  • Utility Layer (src/utils/): Installation, validation, and testing utilities

Key design patterns:

  • Feature flags determine which bash code blocks are included in generated scripts
  • All bash generation is template-based with conditional sections
  • Mock testing simulates Claude Code's JSON input for preview functionality

Key Implementation Details

Build System: Uses tsup for ESM bundling with Node 16+ target. The #!/usr/bin/env node shebang is automatically added during build.

Generated Scripts: The bash statuslines are self-contained with graceful fallbacks when dependencies (jq, git, ccusage) are missing. Scripts execute in <100ms with minimal resource usage.

Installation Flow:

  1. Collects user preferences via inquirer prompts
  2. Generates optimized bash script with only selected features
  3. Writes to .claude/statusline.sh with execute permissions
  4. Updates .claude/settings.json to register the statusline command

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.
