Status Line

The bundled statusline plugin (version 0.1.2) adds optional details below conversations in the Web UI and in elowen chat. An administrator can choose what to show in the plugin's detail view or with /statusline in the CLI. Changes apply immediately, and all options are off by default.

SettingKeyDefaultWhat it shows
ModelshowModelOffThe active model.
Context usageshowContextOffContext-window use as a percentage and token count.
Total tokensshowTokensOffThe conversation's cumulative token count.
SpeedshowSpeedOffMeasured model-output speed for the current turn, in tokens per second.
Cache hitshowCacheHitOffThe share of prompt input served from the provider's cache.
CostshowCostOffThe conversation's cumulative cost; API-key providers report it and subscriptions show $0.

In the CLI, use /statusline to choose the same display options. Settings apply across the instance. With every option off, no status line appears.

Administrators manage the plugin in Settings → Plugins; select it to open its detail view. Only an administrator can enable or disable it, and it does not need an individual user grant. Enabling or disabling it takes effect after Elowen restarts.
