Boris Cherny7/ Add a Status Line

When this pattern helps
Use this as a pattern to evaluate, not a universal rule. Check the current Claude Code documentation and your own workflow constraints, then keep the parts that measurably improve reliability, clarity, or delivery time.
这是一种值得评估的实践,不是放之四海皆准的规则。结合当前 Claude Code 文档和自己的工作约束验证,只保留确实改善可靠性、清晰度或交付时间的部分。
Custom status lines show up right below the composer, displaying model, directory, remaining context, cost, and anything else you want to see while you work.
Every team member can have a different statusline. Use /statusline to have Claude generate one based on your .bashrc/.zshrc.
