feat(agents): a Claude Code status line that follows the Omarchy theme - #16
Merged
Conversation
The bottom bar for the Claude Code CLI, in two lines: where you are (model, effort, worktree, branch, uncommitted count, open PR and its review state), then what it costs (a context-window gauge, the 5-hour and 7-day quota windows, session spend and lines changed). Everything it shows comes from the JSON Claude Code writes to the command's stdin — no API poll, no `gh` call, no transcript parsing. It paints with the sixteen ANSI colors and nothing else. The palette then comes from the terminal, so the bar re-themes itself when Omarchy switches theme or flips light/dark, the same way starship and bat already do here. Truecolor would have meant a theme-set hook and a second copy of the palette. Two details the bar would be wrong without: Nerd Font icons come from the non-Mono family and take two cells, so the width budget counts them as two; and `COLUMNS` is not exported to the status line command while `tput cols` answers 80 whenever stdout is a pipe, which is always, so a wide bar would truncate at 80 — the fallback is a generous 200 instead. `--test` is the self-check: thresholds, the gauge ramp, a quiet session, narrow-terminal truncation, the Touch Bar hand-off, and empty or invalid stdin.

The assertions shipped inside `claude-statusline.sh --test`, where nothing ran them. This is the wrapper that makes `tests/*.sh` — the gate CI actually runs — call it.

The bottom bar for the Claude Code CLI, in two lines: where you are (model, effort, worktree, branch, uncommitted count, open PR and review state), then what it costs (context gauge, 5-hour and 7-day quota windows, spend, lines changed). Every value comes from the JSON Claude Code puts on the command's stdin — no API poll, no
ghcall, no transcript parsing.Why it belongs here rather than being one more npm status line: it paints with the sixteen ANSI colors and nothing else. The palette then comes from the terminal, so the bar re-themes itself when Omarchy switches theme or flips light/dark — exactly how starship and bat already behave on this machine. Truecolor would have meant a
theme-set.dhook and a second copy of the palette to keep in sync.It stays quiet: a quota window appears at 25 %, a cost at $0.10, the diff only when non-zero. A fresh session shows two short lines.
Two things it would be wrong without:
COLUMNSis not exported to the status line command, andtput colsanswers 80 whenever stdout is a pipe — which is always. Falling back totputtruncated a wide bar at 80; the fallback is a generous 200 instead.It also drops each session's context percentage in
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/macarchy-claude/<session id>, which macarchy/macarchy-touchbar#claude-context reads to put the fullest session on the Touch Bar. A no-op when nothing reads it.Test
bash agents/claude-statusline.sh --test— thresholds, the gauge ramp, a quiet session, narrow-terminal truncation, the Touch Bar hand-off, and empty or invalid stdin.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
