Status line (HUD)

The fullscreen TUI can show a bottom status line (above the prompt), similar to Claude Code’s statusLine setting.

Configuration

In ~/.anycode/config.json, add a statusLine object:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "command": "jq -r '[.model.id, .context_window.used_percentage // empty] | @tsv' | paste -sd ' ' -",
    "timeout_ms": 5000,
    "padding": 0,
    "show_builtin": false
  }
}

• command: passed to sh -c. The process receives one JSON document on stdin (see below). Only the first line of stdout is shown (ANSI sequences are stripped).
• timeout_ms: defaults to 5000. The command is killed on timeout.
• padding: left padding (columns) before the text.
• show_builtin: if true and command is omitted, a built-in line is shown: model id and approximate context usage vs the configured window.

Security: command runs with your user permissions. Treat it like any shell script in your config.

JSON schema (subset)

Print a sample payload (pretty-printed) for your current config and working directory:

anycode statusline print-schema

Fields include: version, session_id, cwd, model.id, model.display_name, workspace.current_dir, workspace.project_dir, context_window.context_window_size, token counts and optional used_percentage / remaining_percentage.

Example script

See scripts/statusline-example.sh in the repository for a jq-based example.
