Is it safe to install if I have custom Claude settings?

Yes. The installer automatically creates a backup of your settings.json file (~/.claude/settings.json.bak) before making any modifications and only updates the statusLine configuration key.

How do I activate the status line after installation?

Once installed via the plugin, you can activate it by restarting your Claude Code session or by running the /clear command to refresh the interface.

What information does the PBR status line display?

It displays the current project phase (from STATE.md), plan progress, phase status keywords, active git branch with dirty indicators, and a visual bar showing Claude's context window usage.

Does it work outside of Plan-Build-Run projects?

Yes. While it is optimized for PBR projects, the status line will still function in any directory, displaying git information and context usage metrics.

Can I customize the look of the status line?

Yes, you can customize the displayed sections and branding text by adding a 'status_line' configuration object to your project's .planning/config.json file.
