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.

status-line-live

Custom status line renderer adding live session data to Claude Code: token metrics, session titles, git state, and cost tracking.

Distinguished from the built-in /status_line command -- this is the renderer and its supporting scripts.
