Custom Claude Code status line shows quota, cost, health in three lines

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created a JSON-driven script that displays Claude Code's plan quota, session cost, and automation health directly in the terminal status line. The script reads data from stdin, avoiding extra API calls. It helps users monitor resource usage at a glance, preventing unattended job failures.

Meridian48 take
A practical quality-of-life hack for heavy Claude Code users, but the underlying need highlights gaps in default monitoring tools.
