How do I troubleshoot rendering issues?

The skill includes documentation on the architecture and data flow, specifically for debugging the scripts/statusline.sh rendering pipeline.

Can I track my spending with this skill?

Yes, it extracts session data to provide real-time cost estimations based on your token usage within the Claude Code environment.

What is the status-line-live skill?

It is a specialized capability that provides a custom renderer for the Claude Code CLI, allowing you to see real-time session data like token counts and costs.

What technical dependencies are required?

The skill requires jq for JSON parsing, bc for mathematical calculations, and git for repository state tracking.

How does it differ from the built-in status_line command?

While the built-in command provides a verbose explanation, this skill is the actual renderer and set of scripts used to generate and troubleshoot the live display.
