Requirements

  • Claude Code v1.0.60+
  • Nerd Fonts for icons (brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font)

Platform Support

Supported Platforms

  • macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon)
  • Linux (x86_64 & ARM64)

Windows Not Supported

Windows is not currently supported due to me not caring about development on windows:

  • Uses Unix-style paths (~/.local/bin, /tmp)
  • Relies on Unix file permissions
  • Hook system designed for Unix shells

Windows users: Consider using WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) which provides full compatibility.

Configuration

Customize what appears in your statusline using the interactive configuration:

claude-code-personalities config

This opens a multi-select menu where you can toggle. When you open the configuration menu, your current settings are pre-selected with checkboxes, making it easy to see what's currently enabled versus disabled:

  • Show Personality - Text-face emoticons (ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ, (╯°□°)╯, etc.)
  • Show Activity - Current activity (editing, coding, debugging, etc.)
  • Show Activity Context - Current file or command being executed
  • Show Git Branch - Current git branch name
  • Show Git Status - Working tree status with file count (±5 dirty, ✓ clean)
  • Show Current Directory - Working directory path
  • Show Model Indicator - Claude model (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku)
  • Use Icons - Nerd Font icons for visual appeal
  • Use Colors - ANSI color formatting
  • Show Separators - Dot separators between elements
  • Compact Mode - Reduced spacing for tighter display
  • Debug Info - Show error counts and session info

Settings are saved to ~/.claude/personalities_config.json and take effect immediately.
