Description
Startup time is ~10ms with Zig, which is why I built this small CLI tool for Claude Code that shows context usage, git branch, and model info in the status line.The original JavaScript version took ~143ms to start. Reducing this to ~10ms matters since the tool runs frequently during editor use.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a lightweight CLI utility that reads environment variables, executes basic git commands, and prints formatted text, easily scaffolded and refined via LLM assistance.
