hours

A preview command for tracked work hours that have not yet been added to an invoice. It calculates billable totals using the client’s rate without writing an invoice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review unbilled hours, line items, totals, timer records, skipped time, and agent-hour calculations before creating an invoice.
Why use it?
It shows what would be billed while keeping the billing records unchanged, including running, unbillable, or already billed time.

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

hours 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 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.

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

Task

billing hours $ARGUMENTS --json

This is the preview of what billing invoice new --from-timer would bill. Same filters, same grouping, same arithmetic — it writes nothing.

Reading the response

  • items[] — the line items, each with description, quantity (in the rate's own billing unit), unitPriceMajor, amount, hours and timerIds.
  • unit — what quantity is measured in: hours, or agent-hours when the rate is priced per agent.
  • hours / units / subtotal — the totals.
  • skipped{ running, unbillable, alreadyBilled }.

Rules

  • Always read skipped.running back to the user. Those hours are not missing, they are on a clock that is still ticking and become billable the moment it stops. "Nothing to bill" is misleading when the real answer is "stop the clock first".
  • Exit 3 means no unbilled hours matched, or the client does not exist. Read the message; it distinguishes them.
  • When unit is agent-hours, explain the multiplier if the user seems surprised: 3 hours with 2 agents is 6 agent-hours. quantity * unitPrice always equals amount.
  • If there is no rate, the error says so and names the command that sets one. Do not invent a rate to get past it.

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.

It adds 14 tokens to every session and 391 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
