Claude Code adds customizable terminal status line for session info

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Claude Code users can now configure a custom status line in their terminal to display real-time session information. This feature, accessible via the `/statusline` command or by editing settings.json, allows users to see context window fill percentage, estimated session cost, and plan usage directly in their terminal. The status line runs locally, does not consume API tokens, and can be customized with scripts that process JSON input to show details like model name, directory, and context fill. AI
