Claude Code status lines written in bash
Bash status lines run anywhere Claude Code does, with jq usually the only dependency. That makes them the default choice when you do not want to install a runtime just for your terminal.
They range from three-line scripts to full dashboards, and the source on each page is short enough to audit before you paste it.
21 published status lines.
