Claude Code status line

A minimal bash script that shows model, context usage, lines changed, and rate limits.

sonnet-4.6 │ ctx ████░░░░░░ 42% │ +38 -12 │ 5h:31% (↺ 2h14m) │ 7d:67%

• ctx 42% - context window fill. Turns yellow at 60%, red at 85% (time to /compact)
• +38 -12 - lines added/removed this session (resets on new session, not on /clear)
• 5h:31% (↺ 2h14m) - 5-hour rate limit usage and time left to reset
• 7d:67% - weekly rate limit
