A terminal status display for Claude Code that shows context usage, costs, session activity, caching, compactions, and rate limits. It adjusts its layout to fit the terminal width.

Use it to monitor token flow, subagent spending, response speed, context checkpoints, prompt-cache timing, compactions, and rate-limit burn rate.

It puts session and resource information in one place instead of requiring separate checks. This helps you see how much context, time, and usage capacity remain while working.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

statusline 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

{
  "name": "statusline",
  "description": "Multi-line Claude Code statusline with a discrete heat-track context bar tied to per-model checkpoint thresholds, one deduplicated cost ledger covering subagent spend, per-session telemetry (tok/s, compactions, prompt-cache countdown), rate-limit gauges with burn-rate pacing, terminal-width fitting, and a verbatim per-session JSON snapshot for external readers. Words, not emoji: every value is named. Ships an installer that keeps every file under ~/.claude/statusline (code at the top, runtime state under state/) and wires settings.json.",

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 1 skill travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 67 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.
