Set up the status line

The status line is a script Claude Code runs for the bottom line of the screen. A plugin cannot switch a status line on by itself, so this skill does it: it copies the scripts to ~/.claude/scripts/, records what the user wants to see, and points statusLine in ~/.claude/settings.json at the script.

Talk to the user in their language. The option labels below are in English; translate them.

1. Look at what is there

• Read ~/.claude/settings.json if it exists. If statusLine.command is set and does not contain statusline-codex.sh, the user already has a different status line. Tell them which command it is and ask whether to replace it. Stop if they decline: nothing has been changed.
• Read ~/.claude/codex-status/config if it exists. It holds the current choice, one key=value a line (show=, countdown=, icons=, light=). Offer the current values as the starting point. Without the file everything is shown.

2. Ask what to show

Ask both in one AskUserQuestion call. Where that tool is not available, ask the same in plain text and wait for the answer.

1. Session (several can be chosen): Folder name · Model and effort · Context gauge
2. Usage (several can be chosen): Claude usage gauge · Codex usage gauge · Time until a window resets · In-use light

Say with the questions, briefly, that the Codex gauge only appears on a machine where the Codex CLI is logged in.

The gauges are labelled with icons (the OpenAI and Claude logos and a speech bubble). That is not a question: do not offer words instead.

At least one of the five segments (folder, model, context, Claude gauge, Codex gauge) has to be chosen. If none is, say so and ask again.

3. Apply

Turn the answers into three values:

• show: the chosen segments out of folder model codex claude ctx, in that order
• countdown: on if "Time until a window resets" was chosen, else off
• light: on if "In-use light" was chosen, else off

Then run, with the values filled in:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/install.sh" --plugin --show "folder model codex claude ctx" --countdown on --icons on --light on

The script fetches jq into ~/.local/bin if it is missing, backs up settings.json before changing it, and prints what it did. If it fails, show its output and stop.

4. Report

In a few lines: what is shown now, and that the line appears at the bottom within a couple of seconds — in a new session at the latest. To change the choice, run /usage-statusline:setup again. /usage-statusline:refresh fetches the usage numbers on the spot, /usage-statusline:uninstall removes everything this skill set up.

Add that the icons need a terminal font with Nerd Fonts 3.5 glyphs — without one they show as empty boxes — and the one line Ghostty needs, from the "Your choice" section of the plugin's README (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/README.md).
