# Custom Statusline Installer

Installs a custom Claude Code statusline with:
- 📁 Project directory
- 🌿 Git branch with sync status: `develop(ok)`, `feat/foo(~2|+1)`
- 🧠 Context usage with color-coded progress bar (green/yellow/red)
- 4-tier adaptive layout for any screen size

## Install

Run the install script — it copies the statusline and updates settings.json:

```bash
bash ~/.claude/skills/custom-statusline/scripts/install.sh
```

Then restart Claude Code.
