Statuszeile mit Affen-Emoji zeigt in Claude Code, wie erschöpft die Session schon ist
Ein Entwickler hat die Statuszeile von Claude Code um die Figur Jitters erweitert: Ein Affe, der mit steigender Sitzungsdauer und wachsendem Kontextverbrauch von fröhlich über müde bis ausgebrannt immer schlechter aussieht.
Claude Code has one line under the prompt that you stare at all night. I gave it a face.

He starts every session fresh and gets more wrecked the longer you stay.
pipx install jitters-cli # or: uv tool install jitters-cli Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Then one line in ~/.claude/settings.json:
{ "statusLine": { "type": "command", "command": "jitters-cli statusline" } } Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Already have a status line? Keep it; he sits after it:
{ "statusLine": { "type": "command", "command": "jitters-cli statusline -- ~/.claude/statusline.sh" } } Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode The rules, first one that holds 85% of the context window or more: fried between 2 and 6 am on your clock: groggy, with a coffee 90 minutes or more in the session: wired anything else: fresh What it reads Only the JSON Claude Code pipes to a status line command ( cost.total_duration_ms and context_window.used_percentage ) and your local hour. No network call, no telemetry, the standard library only. About 25 ms a run, so the line never waits on him.
The word jitters links to him drawn in that state, like this; it is clickable in iTerm2, Kitty and WezTerm. --no-link turns that off. The package: pypi.org/project/jitters-cli.
