CC Safety Net Status Line: Real-Time Mode Indicators

CC Safety Net can display its status in Claude Code’s status line, showing which protection mode is active at a glance. This gives you a persistent, at-a-glance view of whether the safety hook is running and exactly which modes are engaged — without having to run a separate diagnostic command.

Setup

Add a statusLine entry to your ~/.claude/settings.json. Choose the runner that matches your environment:

Bun (recommended)
Claude X
NPM
Pipe with existing command

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "bunx cc-safety-net statusline --claude-code"
  }
}

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "BUN_BE_BUN=1 claude x cc-safety-net statusline --claude-code"
  }
}

The claude x command is only compatible with the native (non-npm) version of Claude Code. If you installed Claude Code via npm, use bunx or npx instead.

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "npx -y cc-safety-net statusline --claude-code"
  }
}

If you already have a status line command, pipe CC Safety Net at the end so both outputs are shown together:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "your-existing-command | bunx cc-safety-net statusline --claude-code"
  }
}

Mode Indicators

The status line displays a different emoji depending on which environment variables are set. When multiple modes are active, their emojis are combined.

Status	Display	Meaning
Plugin disabled	🛡️ CC Safety Net ❌	The CC Safety Net plugin is not enabled
Default mode	🛡️ CC Safety Net ✅	Protection active with default settings
Strict mode	🛡️ CC Safety Net 🔒	`CC_SAFETY_NET_STRICT=1` — fail-closed on unparseable commands
Paranoid mode	🛡️ CC Safety Net 👁️	`CC_SAFETY_NET_PARANOID=1` — all paranoid checks enabled
Paranoid RM only	🛡️ CC Safety Net 🗑️	`CC_SAFETY_NET_PARANOID_RM=1` — blocks `rm -rf` even within cwd
Paranoid interpreters	🛡️ CC Safety Net 🐚	`CC_SAFETY_NET_PARANOID_INTERPRETERS=1` — blocks interpreter one-liners
Worktree mode	🛡️ CC Safety Net 🌳	`CC_SAFETY_NET_WORKTREE=1` — relax local git discards in linked worktrees
Strict + Paranoid	🛡️ CC Safety Net 🔒👁️	Both strict and paranoid modes enabled

Multiple mode emojis are combined when multiple environment variables are set. Mode flags use CC_SAFETY_NET_* names; legacy SAFETY_NET_* names are still accepted. For more information on what each mode does and when to use it, see Modes.

Changes to ~/.claude/settings.json take effect immediately — no restart of Claude Code is needed.
