- Claude Code's status line can be customized to display key information in two rows for quick reference.
- Row 1 shows the working directory, git branch, model being used, and session name to provide project context.
- Row 2 includes contextual data like remaining context window percentage, total tokens used, lines added/removed, and rate limit budgets with reset times.
- The status line uses color coding (green to red) to indicate remaining budget levels, allowing for easy visual monitoring.
- The setup requires saving a shell script, making it executable, and updating settings.json to point to the script.
