To display research progress in your terminal statusline, you need a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that tracks project name, research stage, and checkpoint completion. This HUD Skill updates the statusline dynamically by running a local setup script and configuring the terminal integration.

A research statusline is a persistent terminal display showing current project status, research stage, and checkpoint progress. It works by reading project metadata and rendering updates to the statusline bar, allowing you to glance at the terminal to see how many checkpoints are completed.

Yes, you can customize the terminal HUD display using multiple presets. The HUD supports switching between 'research', 'checkpoint', 'memory', and 'minimal' display modes, allowing you to tailor the statusline information to suit your current workflow needs.

Yes, the research HUD requires local script execution to function. It relies on running a setup command and updating configuration files to achieve automatic integration with the Claude Code environment and render the real-time statusline updates in your terminal.

You can monitor AI memory health during a research project using the HUD's memory health indicator. It visualizes the health of your AI's context and memory directly in the terminal statusline, showing metrics like a healthy memory level at 85%.

A limitation of using a terminal statusline for research tracking is that it requires constant local script execution and configuration file updates to maintain real-time integration. If the terminal environment or statusline configuration is disrupted, the HUD updates may cease to display.
