statusline-vocablisted

Manage the statusline-vocab feature — a `Stop` hook picks one English word worth learning from each conversation and renders `{emoji} {word} /IPA/ pos. {translation}` on the Claude Code statusline (translation language configurable; Chinese by default). Trigger on "/statusline-vocab" or when the user asks to install / configure / check / uninstall / switch language / debug the vocab statusline. Do NOT auto-trigger — explicit invocation only.

# statusline-vocab Put a "word of the conversation" segment on the Claude Code statusline so the user passively learns English vocabulary from their own work. Three moving parts: 1. **`~/.claude/hooks/vocab/extract.sh`** — `Stop` hook. Each time the assistant finishes a turn, this hook reads the last ~30 transcript entries, calls `claude -p --model claude-haiku-4-5` to pick one English word worth learning (lemma + US IPA + POS + translation + emoji; target language configurable), and writes JSON to `~/.claude/vocab/current.json`. A 3-minute cooldown prevents the word from churning every single turn within one conversation. 2. **`~/.claude/vocab/current.json`** + **`~/.claude/vocab/history.jsonl`** — current word plus an append-only wordbook history of everything that's been picked. 3. **`~/.claude/statusline-command.sh`** — reads `current.json` and appends a vocab segment to the statusline output. Rendered example (with default Chinese; swap to any language via `--lang`): ``` ➜ skills git:(develop) · Opus 4.7 ctx:12% · 📝 transcript /ˈtrænskrɪpt/ n. 誊本,逐字记录 ``` ## When to use this skill The user has typed `/statusline-vocab` or otherwise referenced this feature. Likely intents: - **Install** on a fresh machine — set everything up (optionally with `--lang`) - **Status / diagnose** — "why isn't a word showing up?", "what's installed?", "what language am I on?" - **Switch language** — "translate to Spanish", "use Japanese definitions" → `install.py confi
