Verify Installation

Test your statusline:

# If installed via pip
echo '{"model":{"display_name":"Test"}}' | claude-statusline

# Python script (manual copy)
echo '{"model":{"display_name":"Test"}}' | python3 ~/.claude/statusline.py

# Windows (Python)
echo {"model":{"display_name":"Test"}} | python %USERPROFILE%\.claude\statusline.py

You should see output like: [Test] directory

Restart Claude Code to see the status line.
