Model, folder, and git branch — nothing else. Example statusline inspired by the Claude Code docs (code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline).

What it does

One plain line with the model name, the current folder and the git branch you are on, joined by a dot.

Written in
Bash
Network access
None requested
Works in
Terminal

How it works

  1. Reads model.display_name and workspace.current_dir from the stdin JSON with jq.
  2. Keeps the last folder name and asks git branch --show-current for the branch.
  3. Adds "on <branch>" only when there is one, so a non-git folder shows just scratch.
  4. In a worktree it shows the worktree folder and its branch: feature on worktree-feature.

Source

#!/usr/bin/env bash
json=$(cat)
model=$(echo "$json" | jq -r ".model.display_name")
dir=$(echo "$json" | jq -r ".workspace.current_dir")
branch=$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null)
printf "%s · %s%s" "$model" "${dir##*/}" "${branch:+ on $branch}"
