Set up the simple-claude-code-status-line status bar for Claude Code. Copies the statusline script to ~/.claude/ and patches settings.json. Use when the user says "set up status line", "install status line", "configure status bar", or invokes /statusline-setup.From its SKILL.md

Install the simple-claude-code-status-line status bar. Steps:

1. Detect paths

Home dir: process.env.HOME (Mac/Linux) or process.env.USERPROFILE (Windows)
Target script path: ~/.claude/statusline-command.js
Settings path: ~/.claude/settings.json

2. Copy the script

Read the file at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/statusline-command.js and write it to ~/.claude/statusline-command.js.

Use the absolute path (not ~/) in all file operations.

3. Patch settings.json

Read ~/.claude/settings.json. Add or replace the statusLine key:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "node /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/.claude/statusline-command.js"
  }
}

Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/ with the actual home directory path. Never use ~ in the command value — Claude Code does not expand it.

Merge carefully: preserve all existing settings. Only add/replace statusLine.

4. Confirm

Tell the user:

Script written to: ~/.claude/statusline-command.js
Settings updated: ~/.claude/settings.json
The status line will appear at the bottom of Claude Code after the next session start or /reset.

Notes

Requires Node.js installed and available on PATH.
On Windows with Git Bash, home path looks like /c/Users/username — use this form in the command value.
On Mac/Linux, use /Users/username or /home/username.
Do not hardcode any path — always derive from the actual home directory at install time.
