statusLine entry to ~/.cursor/cli-config.json pointing at any executable script or inline command; its stdout renders above the prompt. - Rich JSON session payload: The command receives session data on stdin including model info, context window usage percentages, working directory, vim mode, and worktree details. - Flexible rendering: Supports multi-line output, ANSI color codes, configurable padding, update intervals (minimum 300ms), and timeouts. - Use Case: Create a bash script using jq that displays the current model name, a context-usage progress bar, and the current git branch, so you always know your session state at a glance. ## Quick Start Set up a status line in my CLI config that shows the current model name and context window usage percentage using a bash script with jq.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Add a statusLine entry to ~/.cursor/cli-config.json with type set to "command" and a command field pointing to an executable script or inline command. The command's stdout is rendered above the prompt on each conversation update.
The command receives a JSON payload containing session_id, transcript_path, cwd, model details (id, display_name, param_summary), context window usage percentages, version, output style, and optionally vim mode and worktree information.
Yes, each line of stdout renders as a separate row in the status area, and ANSI color codes are fully supported. You can use chalk, tput, or raw escape sequences like \033[32m for coloring.
If the command exits non-zero with empty stdout, the previous text is kept. Commands that exceed the timeout (default 2000ms) or overlap with a new update are killed, so keep scripts fast and ensure they exit zero.
Pipe a mock JSON payload into your script, for example: echo '{"model":{"display_name":"Opus"},"context_window":{"used_percentage":25}}' | ./statusline.sh. This simulates the stdin input the CLI provides.
No, the status line runs entirely locally and does not consume API tokens. Updates are debounced at the configured interval, clamped to a minimum of 300ms between invocations.
