CC-StatusLine

CC-StatusLine turns your Claude Code terminal into a heads-up display. It's a zero-dependency Python plugin that renders a compact, color-coded 4-line dashboard directly in the status bar — giving you instant visibility into your environment, context usage, session cost, and git state without ever breaking your flow.

No pip installs. No virtual environments. Pure Python 3 stdlib with ~250ms execution time. It just works.

• ENV — Claude Code version, active model + context window size, count of loaded skills, MCP servers, and hooks
• CTX — Context window usage as a color-coded progress bar (green → yellow → red → blinking red as you fill up)
• USE — Running session cost, wall-clock and API duration, lines of code added and removed
• GIT — Repo name, current branch, time since last commit, modified/staged file counts, push/pull status

1. Add the Patchoutech marketplace: /plugin marketplace add hopchouinard/patchoutech-plugins
2. Install the plugin: /plugin install cc-statusline@patchoutech-plugins
3. Run the setup command: /cc-statusline:setup
4. Restart Claude Code — the dashboard appears on your next session

Resource counts are aggregated from three sources: global config (~/.claude/), project-level config (.claude/), and installed plugins. Git results are cached for 5 seconds per repo, resource counts for 60 seconds — keeping things snappy without hammering the filesystem.

Color thresholds are baked in: context turns yellow at 50%, red at 75%, and starts blinking past 90%. Cost goes green → yellow → red at the $1 and $5 marks. All subprocess calls use argument lists (no shell injection), and the whole thing is wrapped in fail-safe exception handling.
