Setup Status HUD

The user wants to configure the claude-status-hud status line.

Instructions

  1. Detect which tool is running:

    • Check if ~/.codebuddy/settings.json exists — if so, the user is likely on Codebuddy Code
    • Check if ~/.claude/settings.json exists — if so, the user is likely on Claude Code
    • If both exist, ask the user which one they want to configure (or configure both)
    • Set settingsHome to ~/.codebuddy or ~/.claude accordingly

  2. Find the plugin's statusline script path:

    • Read <settingsHome>/plugins/installed_plugins.json
    • Look for the claude-status-hud entry
    • Extract the installPath value
    • For Claude Code: <installPath>/scripts/statusline.js
    • For Codebuddy Code: <installPath>/scripts/statusline-codebuddy.js
    • Verify the file exists
    • If not found in the primary home, also check the other home directory (~/.claude or ~/.codebuddy)

  3. Read the user's current <settingsHome>/settings.json

  4. Add or update ONLY the statusLine field:

    • For Claude Code: 
      {
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "node \"<installPath>/scripts/statusline.js\""
  }
}
    • For Codebuddy Code: 
      {
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "node \"<installPath>/scripts/statusline-codebuddy.js\""
  }
}

  5. IMPORTANT: Do NOT modify any other settings. Specifically:

    • Do NOT touch env settings
    • Do NOT touch includeCoAuthoredBy
    • Do NOT touch any other existing fields
    • Only add/update the statusLine field

  6. Show the user the change and confirm.

  7. Tell the user to restart the tool or start a new session for the statusline to take effect.

Troubleshooting

If the plugin is not found in installed_plugins.json:

  • The user may have installed from a local directory
  • Ask them for the path to the plugin, or search for statusline.js / statusline-codebuddy.js under ~/.claude/plugins/ or ~/.codebuddy/plugins/
  • As a fallback, the user can manually set the command to:
    • Claude Code: node /path/to/claude-status-hud/scripts/statusline.js
    • Codebuddy Code: node /path/to/claude-status-hud/scripts/statusline-codebuddy.js
