What is statusline-wizard?

A setup wizard for Claude Code’s status line, the small information area shown during work. It helps configure displays such as token count, progress, model name, effort level, current directory, and Git details.

It is for setting up a customised status line on macOS, Linux, or Windows, including progress bars and selected project or session details.

It removes the need to manually write shell or PowerShell scripts and edit Claude Code’s settings file. It also checks for an existing configuration and can offer to back it up.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00024	$0.12407
Opus 5.5	$0.00010	$0.04963
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.02481

Security

Grade D, and why

statusline-wizard scanned grade D with 2 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

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

Status Line Wizard

Set up a custom status line for Claude Code with visual progress bars and configurable display options.

Instructions

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

Follow the Setup Workflow defined in this skill (see the "Status Line Setup Skill" section below) to:

Detect the operating system (Mac/Linux/Windows)
Check for existing statusLine configuration and offer to back up if present
Run the configuration wizard using AskUserQuestion to gather preferences
Create the appropriate script file (.sh for Mac/Linux, .ps1 for Windows)
Update ~/.claude/settings.json with the statusLine configuration
Make the script executable on Mac/Linux using chmod +x

Wizard Questions

Use AskUserQuestion with these grouped questions:

Question 1 - Context Display (multiSelect: true):

Token count (50k/100k) - default selected
Progress bar - default selected
Model name - default selected
Effort level (low/medium/high/xhigh/max/ultracode) - default selected

Question 2 - Project Display (multiSelect: true):

Current directory - default selected
Git branch - default selected
Sandbox indicator - NOT selected by default. Description: "Shows 'Sandbox' in orange after the effort level while Claude Code's Bash sandbox is on for this session, whether /sandbox, a settings file or claude --settings turned it on. Hidden when it's off."

On Windows, leave out the Sandbox indicator option. The sandbox doesn't run on native Windows, so the PowerShell script has no sandbox segment.

Question 3 - Session Display (multiSelect: true):

Session duration - default selected
Current time - default selected
Claude Code version - default selected
Session cost - NOT selected by default

Question 4 - Usage Limits (multiSelect: true):

Rate limit usage (5h/7d) - default selected. Description: "Only shown on plans with rolling rate-limit windows (Pro/Max). Enterprise and API seats billed against a monthly spend cap have no rate limits, so the segment stays hidden — pick Monthly spend budget instead."
Monthly spend budget (mo:$47.20/$2000 2.4%) - NOT selected by default. Description: "Month-to-date spend across all Claude Code sessions on this machine, as estimated locally by Claude Code. Counts only sessions rendered after setup."

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.
