claude-code-craft-statusline: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claude-code-craft-statusline CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from derjochenmeyer/claude-code-craft-statusline. It costs 1,426 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Instructions for a bash status line plugin for Claude Code, showing session details such as the model, context usage, rate limits, and cost. It runs through the plugin manager and requires jq, a command-line tool for reading JSON.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the status line locally, render test input, check the environment, or display the installed version.
Why use it?
It gives developers a compact view of important Claude Code session information while they work in the terminal.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is derjochenmeyer/claude-code-craft-statusline's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-code-craft-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 claude-code-craft-statusline configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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

claude-code-craft-statusline CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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.

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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What this is

A bash statusline for Claude Code, shipped as an official Claude Code plugin. Zero Node, zero Python, no Nerd Fonts. The only hard runtime dependency is jq. Installation flows entirely through the plugin manager (/plugin marketplace add …, /plugin install craft-statusline). The renderer itself is a single bash script that consumes Claude Code's statusline JSON on stdin and prints an ANSI-colored line.

Commands

# Install the plugin locally for development (from a clone of this repo)
claude --plugin-dir ./

# Manual render test. Pipe fake Claude Code JSON into the renderer
echo '{"model":{"display_name":"Sonnet 4.6"},"context_window":{"used_percentage":42,"current_usage":{"input_tokens":1,"cache_creation_input_tokens":1000,"cache_read_input_tokens":150000}},"rate_limits":{"five_hour":{"used_percentage":15},"seven_day":{"used_percentage":30}},"cost":{"total_cost_usd":0.85}}' \

Architecture

Plugin-shaped repository. Three functional areas:

  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json: the manifest. Declares the plugin name, version, author, repository URL, and a userConfig block that enumerates every tunable (SHOW_* booleans, thresholds). Values entered by the user are exported to the renderer as CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_<KEY> environment variables and persisted in ~/.claude/settings.json under pluginConfigs."craft-statusline".options.*.

  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: the repo's own plugin marketplace. Users install via /plugin marketplace add derjochenmeyer/claude-code-craft-statusline and then /plugin install craft-statusline. No Anthropic approval required for this flow.

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.
