Feature request: customize color (or hide) the auto-detected PR indicator below the statusline
Open 💬 0 comments Opened Jul 15, 2026 by balb-0
Context
When the current branch has an open PR on GitHub, Claude Code renders a second line below the custom statusline showing the PR link and an agent hint:
Opus 4.7 | bitlearns | feat-book-export-to-docx-pipeline* | ...
PR #2847 · ← for agents
This is useful (surfaces --from-pr context) but has no configuration surface I could find:
- Not documented in
claude --help. - No key in
~/.claude/settings.jsonthat toggles it. - Color of
#2847(magenta + underline) is hardcoded — notheme.prIndicatoror similar.
Request
Just letting me change the color would already solve this. The indicator itself is useful — the styling is what clashes with custom statuslines that use their own palette.
Ideal shape:
- Theme hook to recolor (preferred):
settings.json→"theme": { "prIndicator": "cyan" }or accepting an ANSI code. - Boolean to hide (fallback for people who don't want it at all):
settings.json→"showPrIndicator": false.
Either one unblocks the use case; (1) alone is enough for me.
Environment
- Claude Code v2.1.202
- macOS Darwin 25.0.0
- Custom statusline via
settings.json → statusLine.command
Workaround today
None that I could find without unauthing gh (which breaks other features).
