# Status Line Live > Customize or troubleshoot the live status line. Use when modifying statusline.sh, debugging token display, or understanding the rendering pipeline. The status line runs passively -- this skill is for working on it, not using it.

Distinguished from the built-in `/status_line` command -- this is the renderer and its supporting scripts. ## Components | File | Role | |------|------| | `scripts/statusline.sh` | Main renderer (called by Claude Code via stdin JSON) | | `scripts/get-session-tokens.sh` | Token data extraction from session JSONL | | `docs/architecture.md` | Data flow, caching, troubleshooting | ## Output Format ``` project branch (3) Opus 4.6 $0.66 +28 -5 (70+210K+1.6M):7K [1:267] | session title ``` ## Dependencies `jq`, `bc`, `git` ## Related - `/status_line` command -- verbose explainer with ASCII diagrams - `session-titles/` -- runtime data (titles + token cache) --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/fairchild) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
