## What it is
A minimal shell-based statusline setup for Claude Code that displays usage limits, current directory, and git branch information. It installs via npx, backs up any existing statusline, and configures Claude Code settings automatically.

## Use cases
- show Claude Code usage limits in the statusline
- display current directory and git branch in Claude Code
- set up a custom statusline for Claude Code
- restore or back up an existing Claude Code statusline
- uninstall and clean up a Claude Code statusline

## When to choose
- you use Claude Code and want a lightweight statusline with limits, directory, and git info
- you want a one-command install with automatic backup and restore

## When to avoid
- you need a highly customizable or themable statusline
- you don't use Claude Code
- you can't install jq, curl, and git dependencies
