Cost & Branch
Color-coded model, branch, context %, and session cost. Example statusline inspired by the Claude Code docs (code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline).
Before you install
- This version was reviewed before it was listed on Jun 11, 2026
- Doesn't ask to connect to the internet
- Needs jq and git installed.
- Cost prints exactly as Claude Code sends it, with no fixed decimals, so you see $0 or $4.12.

Opus 4.8 - 22% $0.41What it does
A single colored line with the model, git branch, how full the context window is, and what the session has cost so far in dollars.
- Written in
- Bash
- Network access
- None requested
- Works in
- Terminal
How it works
- Pulls the model, context_window.used_percentage and cost.total_cost_usd with jq.
- Gets the branch from git branch --show-current, or prints - outside a git repo.
- Drops the decimals from the percentage and shows 0% until Claude Code reports one.
- Colors each field: cyan model, green branch, yellow percent, magenta cost.
