statusline

A setup tool for Claude Code’s status line, the small session display that can show the model, context use, token count, folder, Git branch, and plan progress.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or update the devloop status line in Claude Code settings and handle an existing status-line configuration.
Why use it?
It puts useful session and project information in view, so the user does not need to inspect separate files or commands.

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 C, and why

statusline scanned grade C 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 2d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Devloop Statusline Setup

Configure the devloop statusline to display real-time session information.

What the Statusline Shows

  • Model: Current model name (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku)
  • Context: Progress bar + percentage of context window used
  • Tokens: Total session tokens (formatted as K/M)
  • Path: Current working directory (shortened)
  • Git Branch: Current branch name
  • Plan Progress: Tasks completed (X/Y) from .devloop/plan.md

Step 1: Read Current Settings

Read the user's Claude Code settings:

Read ~/.claude/settings.json

Step 2: Check Current Status

Analyze the settings to determine the current state:

  1. No statusLine field: Safe to configure
  2. Existing devloop statusline: May need path update
  3. Other statusline: Ask user what to do

Step 3: Get Plugin Path

The devloop statusline script path follows this pattern: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/cc-plugins/devloop/{version}/statusline/devloop-statusline.sh

Find the installed version by checking the plugin cache directory.

Step 4: Handle Based on State

If no statusline configured:

Add the statusLine field to settings.json:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "~/.claude/plugins/cache/cc-plugins/devloop/{version}/statusline/devloop-statusline.sh",
    "padding": 0
  }
}

If existing devloop statusline:

Check if path needs updating (version change). Update if necessary.

If other statusline configured:

AskUserQuestion:
  questions:
    - question: "You have an existing statusline configured. What would you like to do?"
      header: "Statusline"
      multiSelect: false
      options:
        - label: "Replace with devloop"
          description: "Use devloop statusline instead"
        - label: "Keep existing"
          description: "Don't change current statusline"

Step 5: Apply Configuration

Use the Edit tool to update ~/.claude/settings.json with the statusLine configuration.

Step 6: Confirm

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.

statusline is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zate/cc-plugins (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 751 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (asks for root, reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
