Claude Code status lines that track cost
Claude Code reports the running cost of a session in the JSON it sends your status line. These configs surface it in the terminal, some as a plain number, some as thresholds that change color when a session gets expensive.
If you care about cost because of rate limits rather than dollars, the usage-limit status lines overlap with these; several configs show both.

A boxed multi-line panel with auto-sizing borders: a context section with a gradient bar and status word, a stats section (tokens, cost, duration, lines changed), and a repo section (model, git branch with file counts, clock, vim mode), in a terracotta Claude-brand palette.
