shelltime-statusline

The ShellTime statusline as a Claude Code mod. It draws the ShellTime statusline in a band above the prompt. It runs in the terminal and in the Code tab of the Claude desktop app, where the statusLine command from settings.json is not drawn.

In the terminal it is the same line as shelltime cc statusline, in Claude Code's theme colors, so it follows /theme:

🌿 main* | 🤖 Opus 5.5 | 💰 $1.23 | 📊 $12.50 | 🚦 5h:23% 7d:45% | ⏱️ 1h5m | 📈 42%

In the desktop app it is one flat row, with no borders or padding, in tones that read on the light and the dark theme. Quota and context get a thin bar beside each percentage. The model is left out there, since the composer's footer already shows it.

🌿 main*   💰 $1.23   📊 $12.50   🚦 5h ━━── 23%  7d ━━━─ 45%   ⏱️ 1h5m   📈 ━━── 42%

| Segment | Shows | Color | Link | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 🌿 | Git branch, with * when the tree is dirty | green, gray - outside a repo | | | 🤖 | Model (terminal only) | | | | 💰 | This session's cost | cyan | the session on shelltime.xyz | | 📊 | Today's Claude Code cost | yellow (amber on desktop), gray - with none | your coding agent page | | 🚦 | 5-hour and 7-day quota used | green, yellow from 50%, red from 80%; on desktop each bucket has its own bar and color | claude.ai usage | | ⏱️ | Today's AI agent time | magenta, gray - with none | your profile | | 📈 | Context window used, with a bar on desktop | green, yellow from 50%, red from 80% | |

Install

claude plugin marketplace add shelltime/claude-code-mods
claude plugin install shelltime-statusline@shelltime

Desktop sessions on the same machine load the same installed plugins.

Configuration

There is nothing to configure in the mod. It reads the ShellTime CLI's own config file, ~/.shelltime/config.yaml (or .yml / .toml, with config.local.* merged over it), in the same order the CLI does. Run shelltime init once and the mod picks up your token. Changes to the file are picked up on the next refresh.

The mod doesn't need the shelltime binary or its daemon. Without a token it still shows git, model, session cost, quota and context. Daily cost and agent time show -, and nothing is sent to ShellTime.

Where the numbers come from

| | shelltime cc statusline | this mod | | --- | --- | --- | | git | the daemon runs git | runs the same git commands (GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0) | | model, session cost, context | Claude Code's statusline JSON | the same figures, from Claude Code directly | | quota | the daemon calls Anthropic's usage API with the OAuth token from the Keychain | the rate limits Claude Code already read from its last API response. No Keychain access, works on any OS | | daily cost, agent time | the daemon queries ShellTime's API | the same GraphQL query, at most once every 15 s | | session → project mapping | sent to ShellTime's API | the same request, once per session and directory |

Like the native statusline, it refreshes as the conversation changes: when you send a prompt, after each tool call, and when a turn ends. It doesn't poll while the session is idle.

Terminal

If ~/.claude/settings.json also has a statusLine running shelltime cc statusline, the terminal shows both lines. Keep both, or remove one.
