Explain the project statusline. The script lives at .claude/scripts/statusline/statusline-command.mjs
and produces up to 3 lines. Walk through every field with concrete examples.
Layout overview:
Claude Sonnet 4.6 | VBA-projects (dev) | style:default | v2.1.123
ctx:10% (100k/1M) | think:off | effort:high | +45/-12
5h:30% ↻22:40 | 7d:5% ↻Sat 17:00 | dur:12m30s | ~$0.48
Line 1 - identity:
- Model name. From
model.display_name. Examples: Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Sonnet 4.6.
- Directory plus git branch in parentheses. Examples:
VBA-projects (dev), VBA-projects (main).
If git fails, branch is hidden.
- Optional
session:NAME when user set a custom session name with --name or /rename.
- Optional
agent:NAME when running a subagent.
style:NAME - current output style. Examples: style:default, style:explanatory.vX.Y.Z - Claude Code CLI version.
Line 2 - work state:
ctx:N% (Xk/Yk) - context window usage. Computed from input + cache_creation + cache_read tokens.
Warning zone above 80%, use /compact when needed. Example: ctx:45% (450k/1000k).200k+ - appears only when exceeds_200k_tokens === true.think:on or think:off - extended thinking state.effort:LEVEL - reasoning effort. Values: low, medium, high, xhigh, max.+A/-R - cumulative lines added and removed in the session from every Edit and Write.
Line 3 - limits and cost:
5h:N% ↻HH:MM - 5-hour rolling rate limit. Hits 100% means throttled until reset.7d:N% ↻Day HH:MM - 7-day rolling rate limit. Pro/Max only.dur:Xh Ym or dur:Xm Ys - wall-clock session duration.~$N.NN - estimated session cost. The ~ marks it as estimate; actual billing is in Anthropic Console.
Field absence: every optional field auto-hides when its source is null or missing.
