Claude Code Status Line
Configurations to customize the status bar at the bottom of the Claude Code terminal. Maintained by Shan Raisshan (Claude Certified Architect, Anthropic Community Ambassador). Includes examples from Boris Cherny (Claude Code creator) and community templates to display context, model and session cost.
Strengths
- Copy-ready templates for settings.json, zero manual configuration
- Official examples from Boris Cherny, patterns validated by the Claude Code creator
- Small scope, isolated change in settings.json, no impact elsewhere
Limitations
- Cosmetic, improves comfort without changing Claude performance
- Niche repo, less active than the main shanraisshan Best Practice repo
Best for
- Claude Code power users wanting permanent visual feedback (context, cost, model) without opening a menu
- Teams wanting to standardize the status line display across their development environment
