install

install is a command for Claude Code from cwf818/creditgauge. It costs 30 tokens per session (385 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that installs the creditgauge statusline wrapper into Claude Code's settings. A statusline is the text display shown by the coding tool while it runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Adding credit and token-cost information to Claude Code's statusline, while preserving an existing statusline command for reuse or later uninstall.
Why use it?
It connects creditgauge's latest cached information to that display, backs up the previous setting, and keeps the original command available. It runs locally without network access.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

install 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 5d 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

creditgauge :install

The wrapper writes the latest-cache-dir command into statusLine.command, backs up any pre-existing statusLine to settings.json.bak.<ISO-timestamp>, and preserves the original command in <claude-root>/plugins/creditgauge/state/upstream-cmd.sh (sibling of config.json, stable across /plugin install rolls and cache wipes) so it can be re-invoked as the upstream. Re-running on an already-owned statusLine (the statusLine.command string still points to our wrapper) is a no-op — the check uses isOurWrapperCommand(), not the _creditgauge_managed marker (which is informational only).

Also seeds config.tokenPrices.json (sibling of config.json) if absent, providing a global default price entry for the cost modules (m_tokenCost / m_accTokenCost / m_sumTokenCost). Existing files are never overwritten.

The script runs locally with no network access and never prints ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN.

Uninstalling: v0.9.x dropped the legacy --uninstall flag that this command used to forward. Use the dedicated /creditgauge:uninstall slash command (which calls scripts/uninstall.sh directly — the source of truth).

Execute the install script with whatever arguments were passed to this command:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/install.sh" $ARGUMENTS

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.
