statusline SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

statusline from kensaurus/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add kensaurus/skills/statusline@git:20260923.68c095e

Configure a custom status line in the CLI. Use when the user mentions status line, statusline, statusLine, CLI status bar, prompt footer customization, or wants to add session context above the prompt.

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

# CLI Status Line

The CLI supports a user-configurable status line rendered above the prompt. A command is spawned on each conversation update, receives a JSON payload on stdin describing the session, and its stdout is displayed as the status line. The spec is aligned with [Claude Code's status line](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline).

## Configuration

Add a `statusLine` entry to `~/.cursor/cli-config.json`:

```json
{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "~/.cursor/statusline.sh",
    "padding": 2
  }
}
```

The `command` field supports full paths, `~` expansion, and shell-style argument splitting. You can point it at a script file or use an inline command like `jq -r '...'`.

| Field | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `type` | yes | — | Must be `"command"` |
| `command` | yes | — | Path to an executable or inline command. `~` is expanded. |
| `padding` | no | `0` | Horizontal inset (in characters) for the status line container. |
| `updateIntervalMs` | no | `300` | Minimum interval between invocations. Clamped to >= 300ms. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kensaurus/skills/statusline@sha256:a111865c7e243a6c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.68c095e, 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.
