Installation

1. Ensure settings directory exists

mkdir -p ~/​.claude

2. Install status line script

Copy the status line script from this repository:

cp scripts/​status_line.sh ~/​.claude/​statusline.sh
chmod +x ~/​.claude/​statusline.sh

3. Apply settings

If ~/​.claude/​settings.json doesn't exist, create it:

echo '{}' > ~/​.claude/​settings.json

Update the settings using jq:

jq '. + {"includeCoAuthoredBy": false, "statusLine": {"type": "command", "command": "~/​.claude/​statusline.sh", "padding": 0}}' ~/​.claude/​settings.json > ~/​.claude/​settings.json.tmp && mv ~/​.claude/​settings.json.tmp ~/​.claude/​settings.json

Verify

cat ~/​.claude/​settings.json | jq '.includeCoAuthoredBy'

Should output: false

cat ~/​.claude/​settings.json | jq '.statusLine'

Should output the statusLine configuration object.

ls -la ~/​.claude/​statusline.sh

Should show the script with execute permissions.

Update

Re-run the installation steps to apply any new settings added to this skill.

Uninstall

Remove the settings or reset to defaults:

jq 'del(.includeCoAuthoredBy, .statusLine)' ~/​.claude/​settings.json > ~/​.claude/​settings.json.tmp && mv ~/​.claude/​settings.json.tmp ~/​.claude/​settings.json
