Claude Code status line tools & resources

The one you'll see recommended most. You configure it from a terminal UI that writes your settings for you, pick a powerline theme, and add widgets for context and usage limits.

Vim-style powerline segments, with themes and usage tracking. If you would rather click than edit config, its Powerline Studio (under generators below) builds the setup visually.

Written in Rust, configured through a terminal UI. Git integration and usage tracking come built in.

One command to install on macOS, Linux, or Windows. Shows context, usage limits, cost, and reasoning effort.

Built for speed above all else: its own benchmarks put a full render under 20 microseconds.

Themes, cost tracking, and context usage, configured in a TOML file instead of a terminal UI.

Another Rust option. Borrows its configuration style from starship, so it will feel familiar if you use that.

Leans into cost visibility: token usage and spend update in real time next to directory, git status, and model.

Start here if you haven't customized anything yet. Tell Claude Code what you want in plain English and it writes the script and updates your settings itself.

The visual configurator for claude-powerline. Click segments in a live preview, switch themes, copy the config out.

Ten ready-made /statusline prompts to paste straight into Claude Code, plus a builder for assembling your own.

The standard tool for tracking Claude Code spend. Its status line mode reads the same stdin JSON as any other script and shows session cost, the day's total, burn rate, and when your block resets.

Anthropic's own reference. Covers the statusLine setting, every field your script receives, and working example scripts.

One gist documenting every payload field, with scripts you can lift as-is.

A build log of a custom status line that tracks git worktrees and usage limits.

An opinionated take on what belongs in a status line and what doesn't.

A hands-on write-up of replacing the default with something better.

Community documentation for Claude Code. Its ccstatusline page is a decent orientation if you're choosing a tool.

The big community list for everything Claude Code, including a status lines section. Useful for spotting tools newer than this page.
