Claude vs Codex Statuslines

The Claude and Codex TUI coding agents both render a status line at the bottom of the interface. Configuring Claude’s status line works like configuring a shell prompt. The status line for Codex can only be configured to use a fixed set of built-in fields.

Claude

Claude executes a configured command on each render, pipes its session state as JSON on stdin (model, cwd, and more), and renders whatever it writes to stdout. Mine prints the Git branch, model, token count, and number of running claws, nodes, etc.
