Creates and improves a Claude Code status line script and its settings registration. Use when authoring a status line, customizing what the status line shows, or wiring its settings entry.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/agent-skills-toolkit/askit-build-statusline@sha256:ab1925a00cd8457cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
