ccc-cost

ccc-cost is a command for coding agents from KevinZai/commander. It costs 8 tokens per session (325 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dashboard that reads spending and token-use data from an Agent HQ service and groups it by day, agent, or model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check recent and total costs, compare agents or models, view message counts, and configure a budget alert.
Why use it?
It makes the cost of running multiple AI coding sessions visible so you can monitor spending and set a daily warning threshold.

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

ccc-cost scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

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.
