Statusline Setup

Intelligently inject notify on/off indicator into any user's statusline.sh.

Indicator Format

• NOTIFY (green \033[32m) when notify server is running
• notify (dim gray \033[90m) when notify server is off

Code Block to Inject

This exact block must be inserted:

# --- claude-code-anywhere notify status ---
NOTIFY_STATUS=""
_NOTIFY_PORT=$(cat ~/.claude-code-anywhere/plugins/claude-code-anywhere/port 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$_NOTIFY_PORT" ] && curl -s --max-time 0.3 "http://localhost:$_NOTIFY_PORT/api/status" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    NOTIFY_STATUS=$(printf " │ \033[32mNOTIFY\033[0m")
else
    NOTIFY_STATUS=$(printf " │ \033[90mnotify\033[0m")
fi
# --- end notify status ---

Marker Comments

• Start: # --- claude-code-anywhere notify status ---
• End: # --- end notify status ---

These markers enable clean identification and removal.

Intelligent Injection Strategy

Every statusline.sh is different. Analyze the file structure carefully.

Step 1: Read and Understand

Read the entire ~/.claude/statusline.sh. Identify:

• Where variables are defined (usually top section)
• Where logic/computation happens (middle section)
• Where output happens (printf/echo at the end)
• The output method used (printf, echo, or other)

Step 2: Insert the Code Block

Insert the notify code block:

• AFTER all variable definitions and existing logic
• BEFORE the final output statement(s)
• Look for patterns like comments preceding output, or the first printf/echo

Use Edit tool to insert the block at the correct location.

Step 3: Append to Output

Find ALL lines that produce output and append "$NOTIFY_STATUS":

Pattern A - printf with format string:

# Before:
printf "...format..." "$VAR1" "$VAR2"
# After:
printf "...format..." "$VAR1" "$VAR2""$NOTIFY_STATUS"

Pattern B - echo:

# Before:
echo "$STATUS_LINE"
# After:
echo "$STATUS_LINE$NOTIFY_STATUS"

Pattern C - Multiple conditional outputs: If the file has if/elif/else with different printf/echo calls, append to EACH output line.

Pattern D - Here documents or complex output: Find the final output mechanism and append appropriately.

Step 4: Verify

After edits, the file should:

1. Contain the marker comments with code block
2. Have $NOTIFY_STATUS appended to all output paths

Removal Strategy

Step 1: Find and Remove Block

Locate everything from # --- claude-code-anywhere notify status --- through # --- end notify status --- (inclusive) and delete those lines.

Step 2: Remove $NOTIFY_STATUS References

Find and remove all occurrences of:

• "$NOTIFY_STATUS"
• $NOTIFY_STATUS

from output lines. Be careful to preserve the rest of the line.

Edge Cases

Case	Action
No statusline.sh	Tell user to set up a statusline first
Already has markers	Report "already enabled" for on
No markers found	Report "not currently enabled" for off
Complex conditionals	Append to every output path
Non-printf output	Adapt to echo, cat, or other methods
Multiple output lines	Append to ALL of them
