docs: include clone path in install prompt#28
Merged
Conversation
The README's suggested install prompt previously read 'Clone ... and configure it as my status bar', which left the target directory ambiguous. Claude Code had to infer the path and could pick the wrong one (e.g. a projects folder instead of ~/.claude/statusline/). Bake the path and an explicit pointer to INSTALL.md into the prompt so the user's copy-paste lands the clone where the rest of INSTALL.md assumes it is.

Summary
The README's suggested install prompt read Clone ... and configure it as my status bar, which left the target directory ambiguous. When a user copy-pastes that prompt, Claude Code has to guess where to clone — and it can easily pick the wrong place (e.g. a projects folder) instead of
~/.claude/statusline/, where the rest ofINSTALL.mdassumes the repo lives.Code changes
README.md— Update the suggested install prompt to include the target clone path (~/.claude/statusline/, or the Windows equivalent) and an explicit pointer toINSTALL.md. Trim the surrounding sentence since the path is no longer only mentioned there.How to test
README.md.INSTALL.md.~/.claude/statusline/rather than the cwd.
