Manage `cs` (claude-statusbar) — switch theme/style/density, override severity colors, preview combinations, run doctor, reset config, install or remove the bar, toggle fast/daemon mode, show cost or prompt-cache age. Use whenever the user mentions cs, claude-statusbar, status bar, status line, 状态栏, 主题, theme switching, style switching, color customization, 余量颜色, 警告颜色, severity color, /statusbar, cs preview, cs doctor, fast mode, daemon, refreshInterval, 5h/7d window, context window display, prompt cache, or asks to install / configure / diagnose / customize the bottom status line in Claude Code.

From the source SKILL.md

Use this skill any time the user wants to inspect, change, customize, or diagnose the cs status bar. Replaces the older individual slash commands (/statusbar, /statusbar-theme, /statusbar-style, /statusbar-preview, /statusbar-doctor, /statusbar-reset) — they still work but this skill covers all of them with conversational intent.
