# soffit

Customizable statusline manager for [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code).
Desktop editor with drag-and-drop, live preview, and a widget system for custom statusline extensions.
## Features
- **9 built-in widgets**: context bar, cost, git, version, duration, vim mode, agent, quota, session
- **Configurable theme**: custom colors, icons, and bar styles via config or the desktop editor
- **Desktop editor**: drag-and-drop widget ordering, live preview, per-widget component configuration
- **Custom widgets**: create your own widgets as shell scripts or compiled binaries
- **Auto-detection**: widgets declare components via JSON output for full editor integration
- **Terminal-width aware**: automatic wrapping and responsive bar widths
## Install
### Pre-built binary (recommended)
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/noxcraftdev/soffit/main/install.sh | sh
```
### Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
```bash
brew tap noxcraftdev/soffit
brew install soffit
```
### From source
```bash
cargo install soffit
```
### System dependencies (Linux, build from source only)
```bash
sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libxdo-dev libsoup-3.0-dev libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev
```
### Supported platforms
- Linux (x86_64)
- macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon)
## Setup
Run the setup command to configure Claude Code automatically:
```bash
soffit setup
```
Or add manually to `~/.claude/settings.json`:
```json
{
"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "soffit render",
"padding": 0
}
}
```
## Usage
```bash
soffit setup # Configure Claude Code to use soffit (writes settings.json)
soffit render # Render statusline (reads Claude Code JSON from stdin)
soffit edit # Open the desktop config editor
soffit widgets # List available widgets (built-in + custom)
soffit widget # Test a single widget
```
## Configuration
Config lives at `~/.config/soffit/config.toml` (falls back to `~/.config/claude-statusline/config.toml`):
```toml
statusline_line1 = ["vim", "agent", "version", "context_bar", "quota", "duration", "cost"]
statusline_line2 = ["git", "insights"]
statusline_line3 = []
cost_target_weekly = 300.0
autocompact_pct = 100
[statusline_widgets.cost]
compact = false
components = ["session", "today", "week"]
```
### Theme
Override semantic color roles using ANSI 256-color indices:
```toml
[palette]
success = 114 # green tones (context bar ok, git clean)
warning = 215 # orange tones (quota approaching, cost high)
danger = 203 # red tones (quota critical, over budget)
muted = 242 # dimmed text (secondary info)
subtle = 250 # light gray (tertiary info)
primary = 111 # blue tones (main accent)
accent = 183 # purple tones (secondary accent)
```
All 7 roles have built-in defaults.
Unset roles use the defaults.
### Icons
Override icons per widget under `[statusline_widgets.NAME.icons]`:
```toml
[statusline_widgets.cost.icons]
cost = "$ " # instead of 💸
[statusline_widgets.duration.icons]
duration = "T " # instead of ⏱
[statusline_widgets.git.icons]
git_branch = " " # nerd font branch icon
[statusline_widgets.agent.icons]
agent = "> " # ASCII fallback
```
Available icon keys per widget are shown in `soffit edit` under the widget's appearance panel.
### Bar style
Choose a preset for the quota progress bar:
```toml
bar_style = "block" # ◎◉● density (default)
bar_style = "dot" # ●○
bar_style = "ascii" # #-
```
### Unicode text
Superscript/subscript rendering in the version widget can be toggled:
```toml
use_unicode_text = false # plain text instead of ¹·²·³ / ₛₒₙₙₑₜ
```
## Custom Widgets
Drop scripts in `~/.config/soffit/plugins/`:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# ~/.config/soffit/plugins/weather.sh
INPUT=$(cat)
COMPACT=$(echo "$INPUT" | python3 -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin).get('config',{}).get('compact',False))" 2>/dev/null)
TEMP="22°C"
COND="sunny"
if [ "$COMPACT" = "True" ]; then
echo "{\"output\": \"$TEMP\", \"components\": [\"temp\", \"condition\"]}"
else
echo "{\"output\": \"☀ $TEMP $COND\", \"components\": [\"temp\", \"condition\"]}"
fi
```
Make it executable: `chmod +x ~/.config/soffit/plugins/weather.sh`
### Widget input format
Widgets receive JSON on stdin:
```json
{
"data": {
"session_id": "abc123",
"version": "1.2.16",
"model": {"display_name": "claude-sonnet-4-6"},
"context_window": {"used_percentage": 42.0},
"cost": {"total_duration_ms": 4830000, "total_cost_usd": 0.42},
"vim": {"mode": "NORMAL"},
"agent": {"name": "worker-1"}
},
"config": {
"compact": false,
"components": ["temp", "condition"]
},
"palette": {
"primary": "\u001b[38;5;111m",
"accent": "\u001b[38;5;183m",
"success": "\u001b[38;5;114m",
"warning": "\u001b[38;5;215m",
"danger": "\u001b[38;5;203m",
"muted": "\u001b[38;5;242m",
"subtle": "\u001b[38;5;250m",
"reset": "\u001b[0m"
}
}
```
### Widget output format
Return JSON with `parts` so the framework reorders components per user config:
```json
{"parts": {"temp": "22°C", "condition": "sunny"}, "components": ["temp", "condition"]}
```
Or return a pre-composed string (component reordering won't apply):
```json
{"output": "22°C sunny", "components": ["temp", "condition"]}
```
Or return plain text:
```
22°C sunny
```
### Widget metadata (optional)
Create a `.toml` sidecar for richer editor integration:
```toml
# ~/.config/soffit/plugins/weather.toml
description = "Current weather conditions"
components = ["temp", "condition"]
has_compact = true
```
## Marketplace
The marketplace subcommand manages a list of named widget sources (GitHub repos that publish a `registry.json`).
By default soffit ships with the official `noxcraftdev/soffit-marketplace` source.
```bash
# Add a community source
soffit marketplace add community alice/soffit-extras
# List registered sources (no network)
soffit marketplace list
# List sources with widget counts (fetches or uses cached registry)
soffit marketplace list --verbose
# Remove a source
soffit marketplace remove community
# Refresh the cached registry for all sources (or one with --source)
soffit marketplace update
soffit marketplace update --source community
```
### Installing from the marketplace
Once sources are configured, install by widget name — soffit searches all sources:
```bash
soffit install # resolves from marketplace sources
soffit install owner/repo # installs all widgets from a repo directly
soffit install owner/repo/name # installs a single widget from a specific repo
```
### Publishing a marketplace source
Create a `registry.json` at the root of any public GitHub repo:
```json
{
"plugins": [
{
"name": "weather",
"description": "Current weather conditions",
"repo": "alice/soffit-extras",
"file": "weather.sh"
}
]
}
```
Then share the source with: `soffit marketplace add your-source alice/soffit-extras`.
## Community Widgets
Install widgets shared on GitHub:
```bash
# Install all widgets from the official collection
soffit install noxcraftdev/soffit-plugins
# Install a specific widget
soffit install noxcraftdev/soffit-plugins/last-msg
# Remove an installed widget
soffit uninstall last-msg
# Overwrite an existing widget
soffit install noxcraftdev/soffit-plugins --force
```
Installed widgets land in `~/.config/soffit/plugins/` and are immediately available.
### Creating a widget repository
Lay out your repo as a flat directory of `{name}.sh` + `{name}.toml` pairs:
```
my-soffit-plugins/
weather.sh
weather.toml
stocks.sh
stocks.toml
```
soffit looks for this layout at the repo root first, then inside a `plugins/` subdirectory.
Multiple widgets per repo is the norm — a single repo can host an entire collection.
The `.toml` sidecar is optional but recommended: it supplies the description and component list shown in `soffit edit`.
## Editor
`soffit edit` opens a desktop GUI:
- **Lines tab**: drag-and-drop widgets across 3 statusline rows
- **Widgets tab**: configure built-in widgets (reorder components, toggle compact mode)
- **Widget management**: create, edit, preview, rename, delete custom widgets
- **Live preview**: see your statusline update in real-time
