How It Works

1. statusline-segment.sh — Parses TASKS.md on each status bar refresh (30-second cache). Installed globally (~/.claude/) since it auto-detects the current project's TASKS.md.
2. hooks/tasks-status-writer.js — Immediately invalidates the cache whenever TASKS.md is edited. Installed per-project (.claude/hooks/) since it should only activate in projects that have TASKS.md.
