Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

  • Native tips (Ctrl+P, Ctrl+O reminders)
  • Custom metrics (costs, git status, context usage)

Proposed Solution

A feature where Claude Code keeps its native contextual tips area AND allows a second custom line below/above it.

Alternative Solutions

_No response_

Priority

Low - Nice to have

Feature Category

CLI commands and flags

Use Case Example

  • Ctrl+O hints
  • Ctrl+P to toggle thinking
  • Other keyboard shortcut reminders
  • new shotcuts

The issue: claude-powerline replaces the native status line, so those tips get overwritten by the usage/git info display.
