- 🌏 中文版 (Chinese): ccstatusline-zh
# Run the configuration TUI with npm
npx -y ccstatusline@latest
# Or with Bun (faster)
bunx -y ccstatusline@latestBoth commands launch the same TUI. During the initial setup flow, choose Pinned global install if you want Claude Code to stay on the ccstatusline version you are running instead of following @latest; the TUI will install that version globally with npm or Bun and write the pinned ccstatusline command to Claude Code settings. After a pinned install, you can run ccstatusline directly to launch the TUI in the future.
Configure ccstatusline
The interactive configuration tool provides a terminal UI where you can:
- Configure multiple separate status lines
- Add/remove/reorder status line widgets
- Customize colors for each widget
- Configure flex separator behavior
- Configure Claude Code status line refresh interval when supported
- Edit custom text widgets
- Install/uninstall to Claude Code settings
- Preview your status line in real-time
💡 Tip: Your settings are automatically saved to
~/.config/ccstatusline/settings.json
🔧 Custom Claude Config: If your Claude Code configuration is in a non-standard location, set the
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIRenvironment variable:# Linux/macOS export CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/custom/path/to/.claude
🌐 Usage API proxy: Usage widgets honor the uppercase
HTTPS_PROXYenvironment variable for their direct API call to Anthropic.
🪟 Windows Support: PowerShell examples, installation notes, fonts, troubleshooting, WSL, and Windows Terminal configuration are in docs/WINDOWS.md.
Claude Code settings.json format
When you install from the TUI, ccstatusline writes a statusLine command object to your Claude Code settings:
{
"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "npx -y ccstatusline@latest",
"padding": 0,
"refreshInterval": 10
}
}refreshInterval is written only when your Claude Code version supports it (>=2.1.97). The TUI can set it to 1-60 seconds, or remove it by leaving the input empty.
Other supported command values are:
bunx -y ccstatusline@latestccstatusline(for self-managed/global installs)
For pinned installs, launch the TUI with npx -y ccstatusline@latest or bunx -y ccstatusline@latest, then choose Pinned global install. The TUI pins the active version by installing it globally and writing "command": "ccstatusline" to settings.json; afterward, you can run ccstatusline directly to open the TUI.
