oh-my-posh¶

The prompt is oh-my-posh. Two configs ship in this repo:

Main prompt¶

The prompt is a two-line, multi-segment design with a cyberdream palette baked in. Top line shows OS, path, and Git status (left) plus language version segments (right). Bottom line is a minimal ╰─ continuation with an exit-code-colored arrow.

Layout¶

╭─  user   ~/Repos/dotfiles    main ✔                              Lua 5.4
╰─ ❯

Palette¶

The palette: block at the top of prompt.yaml defines every color used in the prompt. The cyberdream-anchored values:

palette:
    base: "#16181A" # background
    text: "#FFFFFF"
    blue: "#5EA1FF"
    mauve: "#FF5EA0"
    green: "#5EFF6C"
    red: "#FF6E5E"
    yellow: "#F1FF5E"
    peach: "#FFBD5E"
    teal: "#5EF1FF"
    lavender: "#BD5EFF"
    flamingo: "#FFACF6"
    pink: "#FF5EF1"
    sapphire: "#007CDE"
    # ...

These names are referenced from segments as p:blue, p:mauve, etc.

Segments shipped¶

Transient and secondary prompts¶

secondary_prompt:
    template: "❯❯ "
    foreground: p:red

transient_prompt:
    template: "❯ "
    foreground_templates:
        - "{{if gt .Code 0}}p:red{{end}}"
        - "{{if eq .Code 0}}p:subtext_1{{end}}"

The transient prompt collapses past prompts down to a single ❯ after each command, keeping scrollback readable. Color reflects the exit code of the previous command.

Claude Code status line¶

.config/oh-my-posh/claude.yaml powers the status line at the bottom of the Claude Code TUI. It's wired up via .claude/settings.json:

"statusLine": {
  "type": "command",
  "command": "oh-my-posh claude --config ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/oh-my-posh/claude.yaml"
}

oh-my-posh claude is a built-in subcommand that knows how to read Claude Code's session JSON from stdin.

What it shows¶

Left to right, the status line renders the OS icon, the current path, a claude segment, and the git segment. The claude segment packs six pieces of information:

The 7-day window aggregates usage across all models and all sessions on the account, so it's the limit most likely to surprise you during heavy use. The effort segment is conditional: models that don't expose a reasoning-effort level (.Effort.Level is empty) skip the • level suffix entirely.
