claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Expose active agent & background task counts in statusline JSON [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Modify the statusline script to include the requested "agents" field with "active_count" and "background_count" to display real-time agent and task state.

Guidance

• Identify the source of the agent and task state data to integrate it into the statusline JSON payload.
• Determine the best approach to update the "agents" field in real-time, considering the completion of agents and tasks.
• Consider adding logic to hide the "agents" segment when both "active_count" and "background_count" are 0.
• Review the current statusline script to ensure it can handle the new "agents" field and update the display accordingly.

Example

{
  "model": "...",
  "context_window": "...",
  "git": "...",
  "cost": "...",
  "rate_limits": "...",
  "workspace": "...",
  "agents": {
    "active_count": 3,
    "background_count": 2
  }
}

Notes

The implementation details of updating the "agents" field in real-time are not specified and may require additional development or infrastructure changes.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the statusline script to include the "agents" field, as this will provide the required functionality without relying on an upgrade to a potentially non-existent fixed version.
