Step 1: Detect Platform & Runtime

IMPORTANT: Determine the platform from your environment context (Platform: value).

Platform	Command Format
darwin	bash (macOS)
linux	bash (all Linux distros)
win32	PowerShell

---

macOS/Linux (Platform: darwin or linux):

1. Get plugin path:

   ls -td ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-statusbar/claude-statusbar/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1
   

   If empty, tell user to install the plugin first:

   /plugin marketplace add KwCCCC/claude-statusbar
   /plugin install claude-statusbar@claude-statusbar
   

2. Get runtime absolute path (prefer bun for performance, fallback to node):

   command -v bun 2>/dev/null || command -v node 2>/dev/null
   

   If empty, stop and tell user to install Node.js or Bun.

3. Determine source file based on runtime: If runtime is "bun", use src/index.ts (native TypeScript support). Otherwise use dist/index.js.

4. Generate command:

   bash -c '"{RUNTIME_PATH}" "$(ls -td ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-statusbar/claude-statusbar/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1){SOURCE}"'
   

Windows (Platform: win32):

1. Get plugin path:

   (Get-ChildItem "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\plugins\cache\claude-statusbar\claude-statusbar" | Sort-Object LastWriteTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1).FullName
   

2. Get runtime:

   if (Get-Command bun -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { (Get-Command bun).Source } elseif (Get-Command node -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { (Get-Command node).Source } else { Write-Error "Neither bun nor node found" }
   

3. If bun, use src\index.ts. Otherwise use dist\index.js.

4. Generate command:

   powershell -Command "& {$p=(Get-ChildItem $env:USERPROFILE\.claude\plugins\cache\claude-statusbar\claude-statusbar | Sort-Object LastWriteTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1).FullName; & '{RUNTIME_PATH}' (Join-Path $p '{SOURCE}')}"
   

Step 2: Test Command

Run the generated command. It should produce output within a few seconds. If it errors, do not proceed to Step 3.

Step 3: Apply Configuration

Read ~/.claude/settings.json (or $env:USERPROFILE\.claude\settings.json on Windows). Merge in the statusLine config, preserving all existing settings:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "{GENERATED_COMMAND}"
  }
}

Step 4: Verify

Say: "Setup complete! The statusbar should appear below your input field."

If it doesn't work, debug:

1. Verify settings.json was written correctly
2. Test the command manually: {GENERATED_COMMAND} 2>&1
3. Check plugin path exists
4. Check runtime path is valid
