ccstatusline-config

My ccstatusline setup for Claude Code: one compact line with project, branch, model and effort, context size, 5-hour session usage and weekly usage.

my-project  main  (+0,-0)  Sonnet 5.5 (Medium)  Ctx: 120.0k  ✻ Session: 42.0% · 3hr 10m · 18:50 ✻  Weekly: 31.0%

What is in it

Widget	Source
Repo, branch, changes	built-in git-root-dir, git-branch, git-changes (hidden outside git repos)
Model and effort	model-effort.sh: prints Sonnet 5.5 (Medium) as one block
Context	built-in context-length
Session	session-block.sh: usage, time left and local reset time of the 5-hour window
Weekly	built-in weekly-usage

Colors: every widget is one neutral gray (#d0d0d0 in settings.json; ccstatusline would otherwise give each widget its own color) so the line stays calm. The session block is the only one that reacts: default below 70%, bold yellow from 70%, bold red from 90% (YELLOW_AT / RED_AT in session-block.sh).

Install

Needs Node (for ccstatusline) and jq.

npm i -g ccstatusline
git clone https://github.com/cemtatli/ccstatusline-config
cd ccstatusline-config
./install.sh

The installer copies the files to ~/.config/ccstatusline (override with CCSTATUSLINE_DIR), backs up what was there, and replaces the {{HOME}} placeholder in settings.json with your home directory, because ccstatusline wants absolute script paths.

Then point Claude Code at it in ~/.claude/settings.json:

"statusLine": { "type": "command", "command": "ccstatusline", "padding": 0, "refreshInterval": 60 }

Notes

• The scripts read the JSON that Claude Code pipes to the status line (model, effort, rate_limits.five_hour), so they need a Claude Code version that sends those fields. When a field is missing they print nothing.
• model-effort.sh falls back to effortLevel from ~/.claude/settings.json when the status JSON has no effort.
• Tested with ccstatusline 2.2.22 on macOS (date -r in session-block.sh is the BSD form).
