usage

A command that reads current Claude Code usage and sends it to a connected device. It reports usage for the five-hour and seven-day time windows, along with their reset times.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch usage percentages and reset times, build the device update, and send it to the device's local HTTP endpoint. It requires access to the Claude Code credentials and the device.
Why use it?
It avoids checking usage separately in Claude Code and on the device. The device can show the latest usage information through its own interface.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 8 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 135 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

usage scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Fetch real-time Claude Code usage and push it to your device. Follow SKILL.md (Usage) to:

  1. Get OAuth token from Keychain / credentials file
  2. Fetch usage from the API (5-hour and 7-day windows)
  3. Build the /claude-code/usage payload (five_hour, seven_day, reset_5h, reset_7d, sound)
  4. POST it to the device's :5002 /claude-code/usage endpoint
  5. Report the percentages and reset times

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

usage is a command published in the GitHub repository autonomous-ai/autonomous-os (256 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 135 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
