A real statusline for Claude Code CLI — powerline-style, customizable widgets, real-time cost/usage tracking visible while you work.
ccstatusline replaces the bare prompt with a tmux/powerline-style statusline. Widgets show model, tokens spent, current cost, git branch, and more. Useful so you actually know what your session is costing.
When to use: You've been bitten by surprise bills.
Outcome: No more surprise Anthropic bills.
Statusline + safety hooks = better daily UX
