Configure claude-statusline Terminal Width & Path Display

FIRST: Use the Read tool to load ~/.claude/plugins/claude-statusline/config.json if it exists. Store the current config values (especially terminalWidth, pathLevels, display.showProject).

---

Step 1: Detect Current State

Run these commands to understand the current environment:

macOS/Linux:

# Detect actual terminal width
echo "Terminal columns (tput): $(tput cols)"
echo "Terminal columns (env): ${COLUMNS:-unset}"
echo "CWD: $(pwd)"

# Show current config if exists
if [ -f "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/plugins/claude-statusline/config.json" ]; then
  echo "--- Current config ---"
  cat "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/plugins/claude-statusline/config.json"
fi

Record:

• Actual terminal width from tput cols
• Current terminalWidth config value
• Current pathLevels and display.showProject

---

Step 2: Interactive Configuration

Use AskUserQuestion. Ask all questions in one batch.

Q1: Terminal Width (PRIMARY)

The statusline subprocess cannot detect the real terminal size (stdout.columns/COLUMNS are unavailable), so config.terminalWidth is the authoritative width source. When unset, the HUD falls back to a narrow width and truncates aggressively.

• header: "Width"
• question: "Set the terminal width. Your terminal is currently: [show tput cols result]."
• multiSelect: false
• options with previews:
  • "Auto-detect (Recommended)" — sets terminalWidth to detected value (e.g. 120) Preview: pitpat-server │ tools: 3 │ (feat/nacos_2.5.2*) │ [GLM-5.1]
  • "80 (Standard)" — standard terminal Preview: pitpat-server (feat/nacos_2.5.2*) │ [GLM-5.1]
  • "120 (Wide)" — modern wide terminal
  • "160 (Ultra-wide)" — very wide or side panel

Q2: Project Path Visibility

• header: "Path"
• question: "Show project path in the HUD?"
• multiSelect: false
• options:
  • "Show path (Recommended)"
  • "Hide path"

Q3: Path Depth (only if "Show path")

• header: "Depth"
• question: "How many directory levels to show?"
• multiSelect: false
• options:
  • "1 level" (e.g., pitpat-server)
  • "2 levels" (e.g., linzikg/pitpat-server)
  • "3 levels" (e.g., professional/linzikg/pitpat-server)

---

Step 3: Preview & Confirm

Show preview of HUD at different widths:

• 40: (feat/nac... │ [GLM-5.1]
• 80: pitpat-server (feat/nacos_2.5.2*) │ [GLM-5.1]
• 120: pitpat-server │ tools: 3 │ (feat/nacos_2.5.2*) │ [GLM-5.1]

Summarize changes and ask: "Apply these settings?"

---

Step 4: Write Configuration

Write to ~/.claude/plugins/claude-statusline/config.json. Merge with existing config — do NOT overwrite other settings.

Setting	Config Key	Values
Terminal width	terminalWidth	number (e.g. 80, 120) — authoritative width; the statusline subprocess cannot detect terminal size
Path visibility	display.showProject	true / false
Path depth	pathLevels	1 / 2 / 3

---

Step 5: Verify

cat "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/plugins/claude-statusline/config.json" | grep -E '(terminalWidth|showProject|pathLevels)'

Tell the user the changes are applied immediately — no restart needed.
