Status lines are customizable and let you display almost anything in your terminal. Display contextual info that helps your workflow, like git branch or local directory. You can even display the weather or a digital buddy that keeps you company while coding.

Claude Code rapidly became the most important anthropic product. @OpenAI when are you guys going to dedicate the needed recourses to make Codex truly competitive?

When will we be able to easily run claude code from mobile?

More evidence to support my hypothesis that Claude Code is a new shell, in the vein of bash and zsh

Ohh.. It's a little bit similar of what I created here:

It’d be interesting to hear how y’all arrived at this (and other features when announced)—e.g. to solve an internal need for x, user requests to use for y, etc

An integration with Tmux status bar would be awesome

this is huge for debugging production workflows being able to track token usage, model switching, and context state in real-time saves hours of guesswork we need this level of transparency in all ai dev tools when your agent breaks at 3am, every second of debugging context matters

Yes! Definitely need a `/statusline always show claude's current working directory` so I can guide if (when) it gets lost.

I love Claude Code and it's 10x'd the quality of the dev work I've used it on But I can't for the life of me stop it from first trying to search using a home folder called "felipeedorado" when mine is called "felipeedoardo". It's frustrating to waste tokens, every session, on something so trivial. I've already written the correction in my global is there somewhere better I should put that instruction in?

Wen "easy git commit with easy rollback of both the commit AND the conversation", like a workflow with checkpoints? That's what I do anyway, but using two windows. It would be amazing.

my gut reaction would be to complain about scope screep but then I got nerd sniped by the customization opportunities 😝

Those quality-of-life features make a big difference for daily focus. It's often the small, thoughtful touches that really improve flow.

The statusline doesn't seem to work with terminal. Not sure if that's an issue with CC or them.

is there a way to always show the context used indicator at bottom of the command line instead of it showing up when its 20% or less

How do i change terminal in claude code? It is using git bash by default on windows 11. I'm running it through powershell.

Looks great. FR: support showing plan and weekly usage limits. Also, Claude can’t browse user-shared existing solutions when configuring this - understandable for safety, but restrictive for power users

Respectfully, please consider moving all these people off new feature development onto sub projects of: “Turning Claude Code into a Top 1% Coder.” The core value proposition is broken: writing code that people want.
