Prerequisite —
cc-plugin-root. This skill resolves its scripts withcc-plugin-root <plugin>(theCLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOTplaceholder is not a shell variable and expands to empty). If the command is missing, run/itp:setup(its first step installs it), or link it directly:mkdir -p ~/.local/bin && ln -sfn \ ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/scripts/cc-plugin-root ~/.local/bin/cc-plugin-root

Status Line Setup
Manage custom status line installation and dependencies.
Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
install |
Install status line to settings.json |
uninstall |
Remove status line from settings.json |
status |
Show current configuration and dependencies |
deps |
Install dependencies (lychee) via mise |
Execution
Skip Logic
- If action provided (
install,uninstall,status) -> execute directly - If no arguments -> check current status, then use AskUserQuestion flow
Workflow
- Check Current State: Run
statusto show current configuration - Action Selection: Use AskUserQuestion to select action:
- "Install status line" -> configure settings.json
- "Uninstall status line" -> remove configuration
- "Just show status" -> display and exit
- Execute: Run the management script
- Verify: Confirm changes applied
AskUserQuestion Flow (No Arguments)
When invoked without arguments, guide the user interactively:
Question: "What would you like to do with statusline-tools?"
Options:
- "Install" -> "Install the custom status line to settings.json"
- "Uninstall" -> "Remove the status line configuration"
- "Status" -> "Show current configuration and dependencies"
Direct Execution (With Arguments)
Parse $ARGUMENTS and run the management script:
/usr/bin/env bash << 'SETUP_SCRIPT_EOF'
PLUGIN_DIR="$(cc-plugin-root statusline-tools)"
ACTION="${ARGUMENTS:-status}"
bash "$PLUGIN_DIR/scripts/manage-statusline.sh" $ACTION
SETUP_SCRIPT_EOF
Post-Action Reminder
After install/uninstall operations:
IMPORTANT: Restart Claude Code session for changes to take effect.
The statusLine is loaded at session start. Modifications to settings.json require a restart.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Status line not shown | Session not restarted | Exit and restart Claude Code |
| Settings file missing | ~/.claude doesn't exist | Create with mkdir -p ~/.claude |
| Install fails | Invalid settings.json | Validate JSON with jq . settings.json |
| Script not found | Plugin not installed | Reinstall plugin from marketplace |
Post-Execution Reflection
After this skill completes, check before closing:
- Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
- Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
- Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.
Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
