statusline-edit is a skill for Claude Code from charlesjones-dev/claude-code-plugins-dev. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,848 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for editing an existing Claude Code status-line configuration. It detects the operating system, reads the current display settings, and changes the existing script using preset options.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for changing status-line items such as the model, token count, progress bar, directory, Git branch, cost, or time display.
Why use it?
It provides a defined way to update what the status line shows without accepting extra command arguments. If no status-line script exists, it stops and directs the user to set one up first.

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

statusline-edit 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 9d 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.

Status Line Edit

Edit your existing Claude Code status line configuration.

Instructions

CRITICAL: This command MUST NOT accept any arguments. If the user provided any text after this command, COMPLETELY IGNORE it.

Phase 1: Detect Existing Configuration

  1. Detect the operating system using Bash: uname -s
    • "Darwin" = macOS, "Linux" = Linux, otherwise assume Windows
  2. Check if the status line script exists:
    • Mac/Linux: ~/.claude/statusline.sh
    • Windows: C:/Users/USERNAME/.claude/statusline.ps1
  3. If the script does NOT exist, display:
    No status line script found at ~/.claude/statusline.sh
    
    Run /statusline-wizard to set up your status line first.
    
    Then STOP - do not continue.

Phase 2: Read Current Configuration

Read the existing script file and parse the current SHOW_* variable values:

For Bash scripts, look for lines like:

SHOW_MODEL=true
SHOW_EFFORT=true
SHOW_SANDBOX=false
SHOW_TOKEN_COUNT=true
SHOW_PROGRESS_BAR=true
SHOW_DIRECTORY=true
SHOW_GIT_BRANCH=true
SHOW_COST=false
SHOW_DURATION=true
SHOW_TIME=true
SHOW_VERSION=true
SHOW_RATE_LIMITS=true
SHOW_SPEND_BUDGET=false
SPEND_LIMIT_USD=0
SPEND_RESET_DAY=1
SPEND_RESET_TIME=00:00

For PowerShell scripts, look for lines like:

$SHOW_MODEL = $true
$SHOW_EFFORT = $true
$SHOW_TOKEN_COUNT = $true
$SHOW_PROGRESS_BAR = $true
$SHOW_DIRECTORY = $true
$SHOW_GIT_BRANCH = $true
$SHOW_COST = $false
$SHOW_DURATION = $true
$SHOW_TIME = $true
$SHOW_VERSION = $true
$SHOW_RATE_LIMITS = $true
$SHOW_SPEND_BUDGET = $false
$SPEND_LIMIT_USD = 0
$SPEND_RESET_DAY = 1
$SPEND_RESET_TIME = '00:00'

Store the current values to use as defaults in the wizard.

Note: Scripts generated by older plugin versions may lack SHOW_EFFORT (pre-1.3.0), SHOW_SPEND_BUDGET / SPEND_LIMIT_USD / SPEND_RESET_DAY / SPEND_RESET_TIME (pre-1.4.0), or SHOW_SANDBOX (pre-1.5.0). If a variable is not present in the script, OMIT the matching option from the wizard (toggling it would have no effect) and, after the update completes, mention that re-running /statusline-wizard will regenerate the script with support for the missing segment(s). The exception is SHOW_SANDBOX in a PowerShell script: it's never there, because the sandbox doesn't run on native Windows, so omit the option without suggesting a re-run.

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.
