# Status Line
> Display custom information in the footer using a shell command.
The status line lets you run a shell command whose output is displayed in the footer's left section. The command receives structured JSON context via stdin, so it can show session-aware information like the current model, token usage, git branch, or anything else you can script.
```
With status line (default approval mode — 1 row):
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ user@host ~/project (main) ctx:34% 🔒 docker | Debug | 67% │ ← status line
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
With status line + non-default mode (2 rows):
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ user@host ~/project (main) ctx:34% 🔒 docker | Debug | 67% │ ← status line
│ auto-accept edits (shift + tab to cycle) │ ← mode indicator
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
When configured, the status line replaces the default "? for shortcuts" hint. High-priority messages (Ctrl+C/D exit prompts, Esc, vim INSERT mode) temporarily override the status line. The status line text is truncated to fit within the available width.
## Prerequisites
- [`jq`](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) is recommended for parsing the JSON input (install via `brew install jq`, `apt install jq`, etc.)
- Simple commands that don't need JSON data (e.g. `git branch --show-current`) work without `jq`
## Quick setup
The easiest way to configure a status line is the `/statusline` command. It launches a setup agent that reads your shell PS1 configuration and generates a matching status line:
```
/statusline
```
You can also give it specific instructions:
```
/statusline show model name and context usage percentage
```
## Manual configuration
Add a `statusLine` object under the `ui` key in `~/.qwen/settings.json`:
```json
{
"ui": {
"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "input=$(cat); model=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.model.display_name'); pct=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.context_window.used_percentage'); echo \"$model ctx:${pct}%\""
}
}
}
```
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ----------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `type` | `"command"` | Yes | Must be `"command"` |
| `command` | string | Yes | Shell command to execute. Receives JSON via stdin, first line of stdout is displayed. |
## JSON input
The command receives a JSON object via stdin with the following fields:
```json
{
"session_id": "abc-123",
"version": "0.14.1",
"model": {
"display_name": "qwen-3-235b"
},
"context_window": {
"context_window_size": 131072,
"used_percentage": 34.3,
"remaining_percentage": 65.7,
"current_usage": 45000,
"total_input_tokens": 30000,
"total_output_tokens": 5000
},
"workspace": {
"current_dir": "/home/user/project"
},
"git": {
"branch": "main"
},
"metrics": {
"models": {
"qwen-3-235b": {
"api": {
"total_requests": 10,
"total_errors": 0,
"total_latency_ms": 5000
},
"tokens": {
"prompt": 30000,
"completion": 5000,
"total": 35000,
"cached": 10000,
"thoughts": 2000
}
}
},
"files": {
"total_lines_added": 120,
"total_lines_removed": 30
}
},
"vim": {
"mode": "INSERT"
}
}
```
| Field | Type | Description |
| ------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `session_id` | string | Unique session identifier |
| `version` | string | Qwen Code version |
| `model.display_name` | string | Current model name |
| `context_window.context_window_size` | number | Total context window size in tokens |
| `context_window.used_percentage` | number | Context window usage as percentage (0100) |
| `context_window.remaining_percentage` | number | Context window remaining as percentage (0100) |
| `context_window.current_usage` | number | Token count from the last API call (current context size) |
| `context_window.total_input_tokens` | number | Total input tokens consumed this session |
| `context_window.total_output_tokens` | number | Total output tokens consumed this session |
| `workspace.current_dir` | string | Current working directory |
| `git` | object \| absent | Present only inside a git repository. |
| `git.branch` | string | Current branch name |
| `metrics.models.<id>.api` | object | Per-model API stats: `total_requests`, `total_errors`, `total_latency_ms` |
| `metrics.models.<id>.tokens` | object | Per-model token usage: `prompt`, `completion`, `total`, `cached`, `thoughts` |
| `metrics.files` | object | File change stats: `total_lines_added`, `total_lines_removed` |
| `vim` | object \| absent | Present only when vim mode is enabled. Contains `mode` (`"INSERT"` or `"NORMAL"`). |
> **Important:** stdin can only be read once. Always store it in a variable first: `input=$(cat)`.
## Examples
### Model and token usage
```json
{
"ui": {
"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "input=$(cat); model=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.model.display_name'); pct=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.context_window.used_percentage'); echo \"$model ctx:${pct}%\""
}
}
}
```
Output: `qwen-3-235b ctx:34%`
### Git branch + directory
```json
{
"ui": {
"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "input=$(cat); branch=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.git.branch // empty'); dir=$(basename \"$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.workspace.current_dir')\"); echo \"$dir${branch:+ ($branch)}\""
}
}
}
```
Output: `my-project (main)`
> Note: The `git.branch` field is provided directly in the JSON input — no need to shell out to `git`.
### File change stats
```json
{
"ui": {
"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "input=$(cat); added=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.metrics.files.total_lines_added'); removed=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.metrics.files.total_lines_removed'); echo \"+$added/-$removed lines\""
}
}
}
```
Output: `+120/-30 lines`
### Script file for complex commands
For longer commands, save a script file at `~/.qwen/statusline-command.sh`:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
input=$(cat)
model=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.model.display_name')
pct=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.context_window.used_percentage')
branch=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.git.branch // empty')
added=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.metrics.files.total_lines_added')
removed=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.metrics.files.total_lines_removed')
parts=()
[ -n "$model" ] && parts+=("$model")
[ -n "$branch" ] && parts+=("($branch)")
[ "$pct" != "0" ] 2>/dev/null && parts+=("ctx:${pct}%")
([ "$added" -gt 0 ] || [ "$removed" -gt 0 ]) 2>/dev/null && parts+=("+${added}/-${removed}")
echo "${parts[*]}"
```
Then reference it in settings:
```json
{
"ui": {
"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "bash ~/.qwen/statusline-command.sh"
}
}
}
```
## Behavior
- **Update triggers**: The status line updates when the model changes, a new message is sent (token count changes), vim mode is toggled, git branch changes, tool calls complete, or file changes occur. Updates are debounced (300ms).
- **Timeout**: Commands that take longer than 5 seconds are killed. The status line clears on failure.
- **Output**: Only the first line of stdout is used. The text is rendered with dimmed colors in the footer's left section and truncated if it exceeds the available width.
- **Hot reload**: Changes to `ui.statusLine` in settings take effect immediately — no restart required.
- **Shell**: Commands run via `/bin/sh` on macOS/Linux. On Windows, `cmd.exe` is used by default — wrap POSIX commands with `bash -c "..."` or point to a bash script (e.g. `bash ~/.qwen/statusline-command.sh`).
- **Removal**: Delete the `ui.statusLine` key from settings to disable. The "? for shortcuts" hint returns.
## Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Status line not showing | Config at wrong path | Must be under `ui.statusLine`, not root-level `statusLine` |
| Empty output | Command fails silently | Test manually: `echo '{"session_id":"test","version":"0.14.1","model":{"display_name":"test"},"context_window":{"context_window_size":0,"used_percentage":0,"remaining_percentage":100,"current_usage":0,"total_input_tokens":0,"total_output_tokens":0},"workspace":{"current_dir":"/tmp"},"metrics":{"models":{},"files":{"total_lines_added":0,"total_lines_removed":0}}}' \| sh -c 'your_command'` |
| Stale data | No trigger fired | Send a message or switch models to trigger an update |
| Command too slow | Complex script | Optimize the script or move heavy work to a background cache |
