[FEATURE] Configurable Status Line

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 9, 2026 by scottf Closed Apr 10, 2026

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

The random status phrases are distracting and don't actually indicate what is happening. It would be nice to have an option to use more useful verbs like Thinking or Working that express what is actually being done instead just silly random phrases.

Proposed Solution

Have an option so the user can set the behavior.

Alternative Solutions

_No response_

Priority

Low - Nice to have

Feature Category

Configuration and settings

Use Case Example

I prompt Claude code and it begins work on a plan. The status shows "Bumfuzzling...". I'd rather see something functional

Additional Context

Sure I'm a dad and have made plenty of groaners, millions of fart jokes, but I'm trying to actually work here, I'm neurodivergent like a large amount of developers and this is distracting, meaningless, and uses my _brain_ tokens that could be better used for something else.
