 - **Startup header** - Shows shortcuts (`/hotkeys` for all), loaded AGENTS.md files, prompt templates, skills, and extensions
 - **Messages** - Your messages, assistant responses, tool calls and results, notifications, errors, and extension UI
 - **Editor** - Where you type; border color indicates thinking level
-- **Footer** - Working directory, session name, total token/cache usage, cost, context usage, current model
+- **Footer** - Working directory, session name, total token/cache usage (`↑` input, `↓` output, `R` cache read, `W` cache write, `CH` latest cache hit rate), cost, context usage, current model
 
 The editor can be temporarily replaced by other UI, like built-in `/settings` or custom UI from extensions (e.g., a Q&A tool that lets the user answer model questions in a structured format). [Extensions](#extensions) can also replace the editor, add widgets above/below it, a status line, custom footer, or overlays.
