Starship Prompt Configuration in Salchipapa.Dots

Starship is the cross-shell prompt used by both Fish and Zsh in Salchipapa.Dots. Its configuration lives in starship.toml at the repository root and is symlinked to ~/.config/starship.toml by the installer. The prompt uses the custom Solarized Osaka palette defined inside the same file, so colors are consistent with the rest of the environment.

Prompt format

The full format string defines two rows. The first row shows context modules left-aligned, a fill of spaces, then language/runtime modules right-aligned. The second row is the character prompt:

format = """
($directory)\
$os\
$git_branch\
$fill\
$nodejs\
$rust\
$golang\
$php\
$bun\
$java\
$c\
$conda\
$zig\
$cmd_duration\
$time\
\n$character\
"""

command_timeout = 5600000 (milliseconds) is set to avoid Starship silently skipping slow modules — particularly useful on WSL2 or network-mounted filesystems where git status checks can take longer than the default 500 ms timeout.

Module reference

[character] — prompt character

The prompt character on the second row of the format string.

State	Symbol
Success	`🛸` in green
Error	`🛸` in red
Vim normal mode	`N` in bold red
Vim replace mode	`R` in bold peach
Vim visual mode	`V` in bold mauve

[character]
success_symbol = "[ 🛸](fg:green)"
error_symbol   = "[ 🛸](fg:red)"
vimcmd_symbol  = "[N](bold red)"

[directory] — current path

Displays the path in bold blue, truncated to the last 2 components. Paths inside a repository are truncated relative to the repo root rather than $HOME. The read-only icon is .

[directory]
format           = "[$path](bold $style)[$read_only]($read_only_style) "
truncation_length = 2
style            = "fg:blue"
truncate_to_repo = true
read_only        = "  "
truncation_symbol = "…/"

Well-known folders get icon substitutions:

Folder	Substitution
`Documents`	`󰈙`
`Downloads`
`Music`
`Pictures`

[git_branch] — current branch

Shown in bold mauve with a nerd-font branch icon ( ) and a -> prefix arrow.

[git_branch]
format = "-> [$symbol$branch]($style) "
style  = "bold fg:mauve"
symbol = " "

[cmd_duration] — last command duration

Appears after a command that takes longer than 500 ms. Displayed in bold yellow.

[cmd_duration]
format   = " took [ $duration]($style) "
style    = "bold fg:yellow"
min_time = 500

[time] — current time

Shows the current time in HH:MM format in subtext0. Enabled by default.

[time]
disabled    = false
time_format = "%R"
format      = '[[   $time ](fg:subtext0)]($style)'

Language / runtime modules

All language modules follow the same pattern: a nerd-font icon, the version string in $raw format, and a theme color.

Module	Symbol	Color
`nodejs`	“	`fg:green`
`rust`	“	`fg:red`
`golang`	“	`fg:teal`
`java`		`fg:red`
`c`		`fg:blue`
`zig`	(default)	`fg:peach`
`bun`	(default)	`fg:text`
`php`	“	`fg:peach`
`conda`	(default)	(default)

Solarized Osaka palette

The solarized_osaka palette is defined directly in starship.toml and activated with palette = "solarized_osaka".

Token	Hex	Usage
`text`	`#839395`	Default text, foreground
`subtext0`	`#586e75`	Time display, muted labels
`subtext1`	`#839395`	Alternate muted text
`red`	`#db302d`	Error character, Rust, Java
`green`	`#849900`	Success character, Node.js
`yellow`	`#b28500`	Command duration
`blue`	`#268bd3`	Directory path, C
`mauve`	`#d23681`	Git branch
`pink`	`#d23681`	Git status background
`teal`	`#29a298`	Go
`peach`	`#c94c16`	Python, Zig, Bun, PHP
`rosewater`	`#9eabac`	Redirection color
`flamingo`	`#d23681`	Alias for pink/mauve
`lavender`	`#268bd3`	Alias for blue
`overlay0`	`#073642`	Deep background
`surface0`	`#001419`	Darkest surface
`base`	`none`	Transparent terminal background
