# Use the Claude Code status line

August 19, 2025

A couple of fun things you can do with the Claude Code status line:

1\. Show how much context is left in the window
2\. Run claude --model haiku -p to generate a summary of what it's currently doing
3\. Show project git status
4\. Use Dracula Pro colors 😍
