Show HN: Status lines in the Claude desktop app

Tags: claude-code, plugin, status-line, typescript, developer-experience

Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

A Claude Code plugin that renders custom status lines inside the Claude Desktop app, which lacks native support. It reuses existing statusLine scripts by emulating the JSON input Claude Code provides, adding a useful bridge for desktop users with carefully scoped permissions.

Target audience: developers using Claude Code, particularly AI-assisted coding workflows
