One of Claudible's most useful features is the statusline - a real-time display of your balance and current conversation cost directly in Claude Code.
What the Statusline Shows
The statusline displays two lines of information:
Line 1: Context Info
- Working directory - Your current project path
- Git branch - Current branch and number of changed files
- Model - Which Claude model is active (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku)
Line 2: Usage Info
- Context usage - Progress bar showing token usage
- Estimated cost - How much this conversation has cost
- Balance - Your remaining credits
Tips for Using Statusline
Monitor Expensive Operations
Watch the cost indicator when doing operations that use many tokens - like reading large files or getting detailed explanations. If costs are climbing fast, you might want to be more concise in your prompts.
Choose the Right Model
The statusline shows which model is active. For simple tasks, switch to Haiku to save credits. For complex reasoning, stick with Opus.
Track Context Usage
The context progress bar helps you know when to start a new conversation. When it gets high, Claude has less room for new information.
Example Output
📁 ~/projects/myapp 🌿 main (3) 🤖 Opus-4
