Writing RepoQL-Powered Status Lines
A status line is a one-line dashboard Claude Code renders under the prompt, fed the live session as JSON on stdin. RepoQL lets it blend the session transcript with the indexed graph — surfacing cost, cache-hit ratio, per-tool footprint, index state, imports, and a clickable dashboard link. This skill encodes the contract, the query toolkit, and the rules you can't derive from first principles.
