Minimal Claude Code status lines
3 of the gallery's 23 status lines keep to a single quiet line. Updated 2026-07-06.
A status line does not have to be a dashboard. These configs stay on one line and show a handful of essentials, usually the model, the directory, and one number that matters to you.
They are also the easiest scripts to read end to end, which makes them good starting points if you plan to customize.
