Install Statusline

Context

• Duet statusline script: !cat statusline/statusline-command.sh
• Current user statusline config: !jq -r '.statusLine // empty' ~/.claude/settings.json 2>/dev/null || echo "(none)"
• Current user statusline script: !cat ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh 2>/dev/null || echo "(none)"

Your Task

Install the duet statusline script to ~/.claude/ and configure it in ~/.claude/settings.json.

1. Check current state:

   • Does ~/.claude/settings.json already have a statusLine field?
   • Does ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh already exist?
   • Categorize: no existing statusline, identical, or different

2. If identical: Report "Statusline already up to date" and stop.

3. If different or new:

   • If a statusline script already exists, show the diff between duet's version and the existing one
   • Ask the user whether to install (replace) or skip
   • Make clear this will overwrite their current statusline

4. Install:

   • Copy statusline/statusline-command.sh to ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh
   • Make it executable: chmod +x ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh
   • If ~/.claude/settings.json lacks a statusLine field, add it:

     "statusLine": {
       "type": "command",
       "command": "bash ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh"
     }
     

   • Use jq to merge the statusLine field without disturbing other settings

5. Verify:

   • Confirm the script exists and is executable
   • Confirm settings.json has the statusLine field
   • Report success — note that the statusline will appear on next Claude Code session start

Note

To disable the statusline, delete the statusLine key from settings.json entirely. Setting it to null causes a settings validation error.
