The three-level prompt separates previous output, key information, and command input, reducing clutter and improving readability as explicitly described in the README's prompt structure section.
Displays current Git action, short commit hash, file changes (A/M/U), and branch, providing comprehensive repository context without extra commands, a key feature highlighted in the README.
SSH indicator only appears during remote sessions, and exit status is right-aligned with color coding, ensuring relevant information is shown minimally when needed, as detailed in the features list.
Integrates seamlessly with popular Zsh frameworks like Oh My Zsh, Zim, and zcomet, and offers lightweight manual installation, providing flexibility for different user preferences.
For optimal appearance, the README strongly recommends Ghostty or Wezterm with the Guezwhoz color scheme and JetBrains Mono font, which limits flexibility and may not suit all terminal setups.
To access enhanced shell behaviors like improved ls and completion, users must install Veil, adding complexity compared to standalone theme installation, as noted in the recommended installation section.
As a minimalist theme, it prioritizes a fixed structure with no built-in options for tweaking elements like prompt symbols, requiring source code modifications for personalization.
