Highlights
- ⚡ Reasoning effort & thinking — shows
/effort (high/xhigh/max) and extended thinking, live from Claude Code's official statusline JSON (and hidden on models that don't support effort).
- 📊 5h / 7d usage — limit bars from the official rate-limit API, so you can see how much budget is left.
- 🖥️ No Node, no Nerd Font — pure Bash + standard emoji, looks right out of the box.
- 📦 Auto-installs its dependencies (
jq, plus Git Bash on Windows) on macOS, Linux & Windows.
- 📐 Five size presets (
xs–xl) — pick how much you see with one word.
There are several great Claude Code statuslines out there — this one leans into reasoning-effort/thinking visibility and zero-setup, cross-platform install.
🚀 Quick Install
You don't need to install jq, Git, or anything first — the installer does it for you.
macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AwesomeJun/CC-statusline/main/install.sh | bash
Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AwesomeJun/CC-statusline/main/install.ps1 | iex
To choose a specific size, append it explicitly:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AwesomeJun/CC-statusline/main/install.sh | bash -s -- xl
Or clone and run:
git clone https://github.com/AwesomeJun/CC-statusline.git && cd CC-statusline
./install.sh # macOS / Linux
./install.ps1 # Windows PowerShell
Use any size explicitly — abbreviation or full name: xs/xsmall, s/small, m/medium, l/large, xl/xlarge.
Then restart Claude Code. That's it.
📐 Five Presets
One word picks how much you see. Smallest → largest:
| Size | Lines | At a glance |
|---|
xsmall (xs) | 2 | model · effort · thinking · path · branch · 3 tiny bars |
small (s) | 2 | + labels, percentages, output style |
medium (m) | 4 | classic layout, full-width context bar |
large (l) | 5 | + cost, session time, 20-block usage bars |
xlarge (xl) | 5 | everything: git ahead/behind, env, 40-block bars, resets |
