SessionStatusBar

Sessionai

Ambient session row — workspace, branch, model and integration-connection progress, docked above or below the transcript.

import { SessionStatusBar } from "@elabs-ai/components-ai";
Install
npm install @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui @elabs-ai/components-ai

Skipping the @source line is the most common first failure: Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so every component renders unstyled. The one-time wiring

Prompt for your coding agent

Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any other coding agent. Text in [brackets] is yours to fill in.

Add the brand-ui SessionStatusBar component (from @elabs-ai/components-ai) to this project.

1. Read https://elabs-ai.com/llms.txt first: it maps every package and the rules. If you can use MCP servers, connect https://elabs-ai.com/mcp and use its search, docs and tokens tools. If not, run the same lookups in the terminal: `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli search "<what you need>"` and `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli docs <Component>`.
2. Look SessionStatusBar up before writing code: `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli docs SessionStatusBar` prints its real props, variants, what it pairs with and what to avoid.
3. If @elabs-ai/components-ai is not installed yet: `pnpm add @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui @elabs-ai/components-ai` (or `npm install @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui @elabs-ai/components-ai`). If this is the first brand-ui package in the project, wire it once: import `@elabs-ai/components-tokens/styles.css` plus the `themes/light.css` and `themes/dark.css` stylesheets in the CSS entry, add one Tailwind `@source` line per installed @elabs-ai package (Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so without it everything renders unstyled), and wrap the app root in `ThemeProvider` from `@elabs-ai/components-tokens`.
4. Use it here: [the screen or file, and what it should show]
5. Rules: use only @elabs-ai/components-* components and the semantic tokens — no raw colours, no raw font sizes, no arbitrary Tailwind values. Look up each component's real props with the docs tool before you use it; never guess a prop.
6. Done means: the typecheck passes, `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli audit src --strict` reports nothing, and you have opened the app and looked at every screen you touched in the light and the dark theme.

Avoid

  • Re-implementing token or cost maths — dock the shipped Context component as a child instead; two answers to one question is worse than none.
  • Rendering an empty shell when every segment is absent — the bar renders nothing at all.
  • Putting the stop affordance here — stopping belongs to the running turn, not to ambient chrome.

Workspace Only

Only a workspace name — every other segment is independently optional.

Connecting Integrations

Integrations mid-handshake — a spinner replaces the connection icon.

Integrations Connected

Integrations resolved — a static connected/total count.

Empty

No segment supplied — the bar renders nothing at all, not an empty shell.

API

SessionStatusBar

PropTypeDescription
workspacestringCurrent workspace/project name.
branchstringCurrent git branch.
modelstringActive model id/label.
connectionsSessionStatusBarConnectionsIntegration/MCP connection progress; renders a spinner while connecting.
childrenReactNodeDocks another component alongside the ambient segments — most often `<TokenUsage />` (`@elabs-ai/components-ai`), so token usage/cost keeps its one owner (`token-usage.tsx`, tokenlens) instead of being re-implemented here. Rendered flush to the end of the bar.

Also accepts: ComponentProps<"div">

TokenUsage

Also accepts: ComponentProps<typeof HoverCard>, TokenUsageSchema

Theming

The tokens each state resolves to. Change the token and every theme follows.
