budget

budget is a command for Claude Code from ngocsangyem/MeowKit. It costs 0 tokens per session (610 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for viewing recorded AI usage costs, including recent tasks or totals grouped by month.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the last ten tasks, see total recent spending, or compare monthly task, token, and cost totals.
Why use it?
It makes model, token, and estimated cost information easier to inspect instead of searching the cost log manually.

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

budget 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.

Usage

/budget --reset

Behavior

Tracks and reports AI model usage costs. Reads from .meowkit/telemetry/cost-log.json.

Execution Steps

Default (no flags)
  1. Read .meowkit/telemetry/cost-log.json.
  2. Show the last 10 tasks with: task name, complexity tier, model used, estimated token count, estimated cost.
  3. Print as a table:
    🐱 Recent Cost Summary (last 10 tasks):
    ┌──────────────────────┬──────────┬───────────┬────────┬────────┐
    │ Task                 │ Tier     │ Model     │ Tokens │ Cost   │
    ├──────────────────────┼──────────┼───────────┼────────┼────────┤
    │ Add avatar upload    │ Standard │ claude-4  │ 12.4k  │ $0.18  │
    │ Fix login typo       │ Simple   │ haiku     │ 1.2k   │ $0.01  │
    │ Migrate auth service │ Complex  │ claude-4  │ 45.8k  │ $0.68  │
    └──────────────────────┴──────────┴───────────┴────────┴────────┘
    Total (last 10): $1.23
    
--monthly
  1. Read .meowkit/telemetry/cost-log.json.
  2. Aggregate entries by month.
  3. Print monthly totals:
    🐱 Monthly Cost Summary:
    ┌────────────┬───────┬────────────┬──────────┐
    │ Month      │ Tasks │ Tokens     │ Cost     │
    ├────────────┼───────┼────────────┼──────────┤
    │ 2026-03    │ 24    │ 156.2k     │ $12.45   │
    │ 2026-02    │ 31    │ 203.8k     │ $16.72   │
    └────────────┴───────┴────────────┴──────────┘
    
--reset
  1. Confirm with human: "This will clear all cost tracking history. Type 'yes' to confirm."
  2. If confirmed: clear .meowkit/telemetry/cost-log.json (reset to empty array).
  3. If not confirmed: abort.

Output

Formatted table of cost data from .meowkit/telemetry/cost-log.json. No files are modified (except --reset).

Changes

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.

budget is a command published in the GitHub repository ngocsangyem/MeowKit (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 610 tokens. 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.
