# askit-build-statusline ## Purpose Author and improve a Claude Code status line, following the builder pattern ([../../docs/reference/builder-pattern.md](../../docs/reference/builder-pattern.md)). `create` scaffolds a status line script (it reads the session JSON Claude Code passes on stdin and prints one status line) and registers it under `statusLine` in settings; `improve` tightens an existing one. This is a Claude-only component (F-06 asymmetry): Codex has no shipped status line script - it configures a built-in picker via `config.toml` `tui.status_line` - so the script targets Claude only. Recipe in [references/statusline-recipe.md](references/statusline-recipe.md). ## When to use When authoring a status line, customizing what it displays, or wiring its settings registration. ## create mode 1. Decide what the line shows (model, cwd, branch, token/context budget) and keep it to a single fast line. 2. Author the script: read the session JSON on stdin, print one line, exit fast (it runs often; no slow calls). 3. Register it under `statusLine` in `settings.json` (or the plugin's settings), pointing at the script with `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`. ## improve mode 1. Read the script and its registration; tighten latency (no network/slow shells), correctness, and the displayed fields. ## Scope Claude-only (Standard sec 2.3): the script and its `statusLine` registration are a Claude Code feature; Codex's status line is a built-in picker set in `config.toml`, not a distributable
