# Headlines in your Claude statusline

**[daily.dev Changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/daily_updates)** · [@dailydevtips](https://daily.dev/dailydevtips) · 2 min read · 44 upvotes · 14 comments

## Summary

A new daily.dev plugin for Claude Code surfaces top developer news headlines directly in the terminal statusline while Claude is running. Headlines mix editorially curated top stories with the day's most-upvoted community posts, refresh every 10 minutes, and rotate roughly once a minute. In terminals with hyperlink support (iTerm2, Kitty, WezTerm, Ghostty), headlines are clickable to open the full post. Setup takes three slash commands inside Claude Code: adding the daily.dev marketplace, installing the plugin, and running the statusline command, which writes the configuration into Claude Code's own settings rather than plugin config. The statusline can be toggled off by re-running the same command, and Claude will prompt before overwriting an existing custom statusline.

## Content

Claude is off doing its thing. You're staring at a spinner, wondering how long "just one more tool call" takes. That dead time is now the best few seconds of dev news in your day. Our Claude Code plugin puts daily.dev headlines right at the bottom of your terminal, so you can keep an eye on the ecosystem without leaving your editor.

## Here's what's new:

- **Headlines in your statusline**: The day's top developer news, rotating right under your prompt.
- **Curated plus community-picked**: Major headlines interleaved with the most-upvoted posts of the day.
- **Always fresh**: Refreshed every 10 minutes, rotating about once a minute.
- **Clickable**: In terminals with hyperlink support (iTerm2, Kitty, WezTerm, Ghostty), click the headline to open the post.

## How to try it

Three steps inside Claude Code:

`/plugin marketplace add dailydotdev/daily`

`/plugin install daily.dev@daily.dev`

`/daily.dev:statusline`

Already have our plugin installed? Grab the latest version first:

`claude plugin update daily.dev@daily.dev`

Claude Code keeps its statusline in your own settings rather than in plugin config, so run `/daily.dev:statusline` and Claude writes it there for you. Run it again any time to turn the headlines off, and if you already have a custom statusline, Claude will check with you before swapping it.
