/status-indicators
Toggles status indicators in the terminal title.
/status-indicators toggles whether the CLI's current status is shown in the terminal window title. The command doesn't take any arguments, but switches between on and off with every call.
With the display turned on, you can tell from the terminal tab or window title that something is currently running in this session, without having to click into it first. This helps especially when several terminal windows or tabs are open in parallel and you want to see at a glance which session is still busy. If you already use the terminal title for something else, for example via your own prompt or status line script, the status display overwrites that text โ in that case it's usually better to leave the command switched off.
โ WHEN TO USE IT?
Recognize agent status even with a minimized terminal window
/status-indicators โ on, while a long task is running in the background
Keep track of multiple terminal tabs in parallel
/status-indicators on, when you're running agent sessions in several tabs at the same time
โ WHEN NOT TO?
The terminal title is used for something else, e.g. via a custom script
The status display then overwrites your own title text.
Better: leave /status-indicators off
