Statusline Setup

Statusline Setup

Install and configure the claude-2x-statusline for Claude Code.

Steps

1. Ask the user which tier they want using AskUserQuestion with these options:

   • Minimal — Peak status + model + CTX% + rate limit + git
   • Standard — + detailed tokens + cost + rate limit bar
   • Full (recommended) — + timeline + rate limits dashboard

2. Write the config file at ~/.claude/statusline-config.json:

{
  "tier": "<chosen_tier>",
  "mode": "<minimal for minimal/standard, full for full>",
  "schedule_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nadav-Fux/claude-2x-statusline/main/schedule.json",
  "schedule_cache_hours": 6
}

3. Find the plugin root directory (where engines/ lives). Use the CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT environment variable if available, otherwise find it via:

find ~/.claude -name "python-engine.py" -path "*/engines/*" 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs dirname | xargs dirname

4. Update ~/.claude/settings.json to set the statusLine command pointing to the plugin's statusline.sh:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "bash <plugin_root>/statusline.sh"
  }
}

5. Fetch the initial schedule:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nadav-Fux/claude-2x-statusline/main/schedule.json -o ~/.claude/statusline-schedule.json

6. Tell the user to restart Claude Code to see the new statusline. Peak hours auto-update from GitHub every 6 hours.
