A clean zsh theme with git status and command failure status. Based on af-magic (I liked it, but wanted something simpler).

Madas is a nice Oh My Zsh theme with a clear point of view: keep the prompt clean, show Git status, and make command failures obvious without adding a lot of visual noise. I like that the actual madas.zsh-theme file is tiny enough to read in one glance. For a shell prompt, that matters. Users can quickly understand what it is doing, tweak the colors, or remove pieces they do not want.

The README gets the basics right: it explains what the theme is, shows a screenshot, and gives simple installation steps. I would expand it just a bit, though. A short list of what the prompt displays would help people decide faster: current folder, Git info, dirty working tree marker, success/failure prompt color, and right-side user@host. The theme is based on af-magic, so it would also be helpful to say what you intentionally simplified or changed.

The main thing I would fix is the screenshot URL. It currently points to a different GitHub owner path, which may work now but makes the repo feel a little less self-contained. I would also consider adding a tiny CI check with zsh -n madas.zsh-theme, not because this project needs heavy testing, but because one small syntax mistake can break someone’s shell prompt.

Overall, this is a simple, practical theme that does not try to be more than it is. With a slightly more descriptive README and a repo-local screenshot link, it would feel more polished and easier to trust.
