Design-Engineer Status Line

Interaction Method

If AskUserQuestion is available, use it for all prompts below.

If not, present each question as a numbered list and wait for a reply before proceeding.

Step 1: Detect Current Configuration

Read ~/.claude/settings.json. Check whether the statusLine field exists.

If it exists, extract the command value and determine the source:

• Contains de-statusline.js → design-engineer status line (already installed)
• Contains gsd-statusline.js → GSD status line
• Anything else → unknown third-party status line

Display what was found.

Step 2: Determine Action

If the command was invoked with an argument:

• install → go to Step 3
• uninstall → go to Step 4
• status → go to Step 5

Otherwise ask:

question: "What would you like to do with the status line?"
header: "Action"
options:
  - label: "Install"
    description: "Install the design-engineer status line (replaces any existing one)"
  - label: "Uninstall"
    description: "Remove the design-engineer status line from settings"
  - label: "Check status"
    description: "Show current status line configuration"

---

Step 3: Install

3a. Warn if replacing

If a different status line is currently configured, display:

A status line is already configured:
  {current command value}

Installing the design-engineer status line will replace it.
The previous script file will NOT be deleted – only the settings.json pointer changes.

Then ask for confirmation:

question: "Replace the existing status line?"
header: "Confirm"
options:
  - label: "Yes, replace it"
    description: "Install the design-engineer status line"
  - label: "Cancel"
    description: "Keep the current status line"

If cancelled, stop.

If the design-engineer status line is already installed, inform the user that it will be updated with the latest version from the plugin.

3b. Copy the script

Create directories if needed:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/hooks ~/.claude/cache
