## The Hook

Starship is the minimal cross-shell prompt when you want git/lang context without writing a theme engine.

## What's Good

ISC. Works across shells, fast Rust binary, module config in TOML. Shows git status, language versions, and more with almost no shell glue.

## The Catch

Prompt only — not a shell, not Zellij. Needs a Nerd Font for the glyph set. Config is yours to keep sane.

## Verdict

ISC prompt. Free forever; font + shell still yours.
