What happens if I'm not in a Git repository?

The status line is context-aware; it will automatically hide Git-specific information when you are working in a directory that is not part of a Git repository.

Is the API usage data real-time?

The usage data is fetched from the Anthropic API and cached for 60 seconds to ensure high terminal performance and prevent API spam.

Does this skill require special fonts?

Yes, you must have a Nerd Font (such as JetBrains Mono, Hack, or FiraCode) installed and configured in your terminal for the icons to render correctly.

How do I install the required dependencies?

This skill requires 'jq' for JSON parsing and 'curl' for API requests. On macOS, these can be installed via Homebrew using 'brew install jq curl'.

How do I change which elements appear in the status line?

You can run the /custom-statusline command to access an interactive configuration menu where you can toggle elements like Git status, model name, and usage metrics.
