Are there different styles besides standard Powerline?

Yes, you can choose between 'powerline', 'minimal', and 'capsule' styles depending on how much visual density you prefer in your terminal.

How do I enable the Powerline status line?

Simply ask Claude to 'configure powerline' or 'set up my status line' to initiate the automated configuration and installation process.

Can I revert changes if I don't like the new theme?

Yes, the skill creates automatic backups (.backup files) and provides a restoration workflow to roll back changes immediately if they don't meet your expectations.

What information can the status line display?

It can show current directory paths, Git branch and commit info, AI model details, token burn rates, and response time metrics.

Does this require manual editing of JSON files?

No, the skill uses jq and shell commands to safely modify your configuration files based on your natural language instructions.
