Does this work on Windows?

Yes, the skill automatically detects your operating system and generates either a Bash script for Mac/Linux or a PowerShell script for Windows users.

Do I need to manually edit script files after installation?

No, the skill generates the scripts, sets the necessary executable permissions, and updates your settings.json file automatically based on your wizard preferences.

Will it overwrite my existing Claude Code settings?

No, the skill intelligently checks for existing configurations and offers to back up your current settings file before applying any new updates.

Can I choose which information is displayed in the status line?

Absolutely. The skill includes a configuration wizard that lets you toggle specific elements like token count, git branch, session cost, time, and version info.

How does the token progress bar work?

It calculates your current token usage relative to the total context window and renders a color-coded visual bar (green for low usage, red for high) directly in your terminal.
