claude-code-quota CLAUDE.md

claude-code-quota CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from aweussom/claude-code-quota. It costs 2,557 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Claude Code Quota, two small libraries that read Claude's usage-quota service on Windows and Linux/WSL2 and show the results in a status line.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing quota fetching, cache handling, locking, or status-line behaviour in the project.
Why use it?
They document the rules needed for accurate quota displays, shared cache files, concurrent sessions, and different Windows and WSL2 environments.

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

claude-code-quota CLAUDE.md 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — working on claude-code-quota

Invariants and traps. Read before changing either library.

What this is

Two standalone libraries — quota-lib.ps1 (Windows) and quota-lib.sh (Linux/WSL2) — that read Claude's OAuth quota endpoint and expose the numbers to a statusline script. They must behave identically and write a byte-compatible cache. There is no daemon: everything happens inside a statusline refresh.

The core is small and should stay small. Most of the code is not capability, it is edge-case honesty: never show a figure we can prove is wrong, never corrupt a cache shared by several sessions, never hammer a failing endpoint.

Deployment reality (drives most of the design)

Several Claude Code sessions run at once — typically 3–5 on Windows plus 1–2 in WSL2. They all share one cache file per environment. Any change to cache reads, cache writes, or the fetch lock has to hold under concurrent access; assume 5 processes hit the same code path in the same second.

Windows and WSL2 do not share a cache: ~ is %USERPROFILE%\.claude\ in one and /home/<you>/.claude/ in the other. That is intended — see TODONT.md.

Traps that have already bitten us

PowerShell: ConvertFrom-Json turns ISO timestamps into local-time DateTime

This is the nastiest one. Reading the cache with ConvertFrom-Json does not give you the ISO string you wrote. It gives a DateTime in local time, and casting that with [string] renders it in locale format with the UTC marker gone. Re-parsing the result is then wrong by the machine's UTC offset.

On UTC+2 this made a bucket two hours from resetting look already reset, which under the rollover rule blanked the percentage and displayed 5h:?⚠ on a perfectly healthy account. It also silently skewed rollover detection in the stale carry-forward path for as long as that code existed.

Rule: never [string]-cast a timestamp read from the cache. Route every timestamp through _QL_DateToIso, which normalises both DateTime and string inputs to ISO 8601 UTC. _QL_IsPast, _QL_GetTimeUntil and _QL_SameInstant each call it internally and take an untyped value precisely so a caller cannot reintroduce this — do not add a [string] type constraint to their parameters.

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.
