statusline

statusline is a skill for Claude Code from Bangs00/claude-media-control. It costs 152 tokens per session (6,199 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A command for arranging and styling the now-playing statusline, which is the small playback summary shown in the interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to show or hide track, app, time, volume, progress, and output-device details, then arrange or style them.
Why use it?
It lets you control which details appear, their order, their line layout, and their text styling instead of accepting one fixed display.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 346 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Requested arrangement or style (may be empty): $ARGUMENTS

Current items, in render order (/ starts a new line):

!"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/media.sh" config statusline.fields

Current settings — the style table below marks customized values *custom (see also display.statusline, statusline.multiline, statusline.color):

!"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/media.sh" config


How arrangement works

statusline.fields is an ordered list — the segment renders the items in exactly the order they are saved. A / in the list starts a new line (explicit layout: each line shows exactly the items placed on it; app directly after track folds into it as (App); a line with nothing to show disappears). Without /, items group automatically (app onto track, adjacent progressbar+time, output/volume onto a neighbor) and statusline.multiline on puts each group on its own line.

Numeric patterns — wherever an arrangement can be given ($ARGUMENTS, a typed reply, an "Other" answer): digits name the items, / starts a new line, digit order = display order, and digits left out are omitted:

digit item looks like
1 track ▶︎ Karma Police — Radiohead
2 app (Spotify)
3 volume 🔉 ▄ 45% (🔇 when muted)
4 progressbar ━━━━━━────
5 time 2:13/4:24
6 output 🎧 AirPods Pro (icon by device: 🔊 speakers · 🎧 Bluetooth/headphones · 📺 HDMI/DisplayPort · 📶 AirPlay)

123/456track,app,volume,/,progressbar,time,output (two lines); 45/126progressbar,time,/,track,app,output; 15track,time. Presets: Standard = 123456 one line, Stacked = 123/456 two lines (a "compact" wish maps to 15 by intent).

The style model

Every visible part has a style.* config key:

key part default
style.track.title track title bold
style.track.artist artist name italic
style.app app name (Spotify) dim
style.volume.icon volume icon glyph auto (🔈/🔉/🔊 by level)
style.volume.style volume bar shape block (▄ height bar)
style.volume.bar volume bar on/off on (draws in the accent)
style.volume.percent volume percent 45% dim
style.progressbar.playing bar fill + ▶︎ accent while playing green
style.progressbar.paused bar fill + ⏸ accent while paused yellow
style.progressbar.style progress bar characters line
style.progressbar.length progress bar width in cells (1–60) 20
style.progressbar.sprite sprite style: frames, cycling one per second ● ○
style.progressbar.trail sprite style: the walked track
style.progressbar.track sprite style: the track still ahead
style.time.elapsed elapsed time 2:13 bold
style.time.total total-time tail /4:24 dim
style.output.icon output device icon auto (by device kind)
style.output output device name dim

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.
