Setup Enhanced Statusline

Install the statusline into your Claude Code settings.

Step 1: Find the plugin path

# Find where the plugin is cached
PLUGIN_PATH=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -name "statusline.sh" -path "*/statusline*" 2>/dev/null | head -1)
echo "Statusline script: $PLUGIN_PATH"

If not found, the script is at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/statusline.sh.

Step 2: Make executable

chmod +x "$PLUGIN_PATH"

Step 3: Update settings

Read ~/.claude/settings.json and add or update the statusLine key:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "<PLUGIN_PATH>",
    "padding": 0
  }
}

Use the Edit tool to add this to the user's ~/.claude/settings.json.

Step 4: Verify

Tell the user the statusline is configured. It will appear on the next prompt.
