Overview

The Statusline tool, graded 'A' for security, is a plugin for Claude Code that installs or configures the PBR status line. This status line displays live project information, such as phase, plan, status, git branch, and context usage, directly in the Claude Code terminal status bar. The tool allows users to install, uninstall, or preview the status line configuration. It operates by executing a script (status-line.js) located in the Claude plugin directory. The installation process involves resolving the script's absolute path, reading and updating the user's settings.json file, and configuring the status line. The tool ensures a backup of the original settings.json file is created during installation.
