goccc CLAUDE.md

goccc CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from backstabslash/goccc. It costs 984 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for goccc, a Go command-line tool that reads Claude Code's JSONL session logs and calculates API costs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building, testing, reviewing, or extending goccc, especially code that parses model usage, cache data, subagent logs, or request duplicates.
Why use it?
They give contributors the commands, log rules, and checks needed to change the tool without misreading its data or skipping verification.

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

goccc 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 4d 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

goccc

CLI tool that parses Claude Code JSONL logs from ~/.claude/projects/ and calculates API usage costs by model, day, project, and branch.

Stack

Go 1.26, stdlib only (zero external deps), GoReleaser for cross-platform builds

Commands

go build -o goccc .          # Build binary
go test ./...                # Run all tests
go vet ./...                 # Static analysis
go run . -days 7 -all        # Dev: run with flags directly

Verification

Run before every commit:

make check

JSONL Log Format

Claude Code stores logs at ~/.claude/projects/<project-slug>/. Sessions are <uuid>.jsonl with subagents in <uuid>/subagents/agent-<id>.jsonl. Workflow-spawned agents nest deeper, under <uuid>/subagents/workflows/wf_*/agent-<id>.jsonl.

  • Only type: "assistant" entries carry message.model and message.usage — skip all others
  • output_tokens already includes thinking tokens — no separate counter
  • cache_creation sub-object breaks down 5m/1h tiers; cache_creation_input_tokens is the flat total (fallback for older logs)
  • One API call produces multiple entries sharing the same requestId — dedup by keeping the last (highest output_tokens)
  • model: "<synthetic>" + isApiErrorMessage: true are rate-limit placeholders — filter out to avoid inflating counts

Conventions

  • Flat package — all code in package main, one concern per file
  • Externalized pricing — all pricing lives in pricing.json (embedded via //go:embed, remote-cached 24h). Adding a model or adjusting pricing = edit pricing.json only, no code changes. Cache fields are optional — fillCacheDefaults() derives from input price. Fast mode pricing lives in fast_models map — same structure as models, resolved when usage.speed == "fast"
  • Pricing resolution — exact model ID → longest family prefix → defaultPricing
  • Time-based pricing — a model's base price applies from the beginning of time; an optional schedule: [{ "from": "YYYY-MM-DD", ...prices }] adds dated overrides, and cost uses the entry with the greatest from ≤ the message timestamp. An entry is a diff over the base: omitted primaries (input/output, long-ctx) inherit the base — so a base bump keeps the long-context tier — but omitted cache tiers re-derive from the entry's own input, not the base's cache. from is midnight UTC, a billing boundary independent of the -utc display flag
  • Fast mode bucketing — parser appends :fast suffix to model key when speed == "fast", creating separate buckets. shortModel() and resolvePricing() strip the suffix for display/lookup
  • Local timezone everywhere — day bucketing/cutoffs use parseLocation (defaults to time.Local). Never UTC() for user-facing dates. The -utc flag is the one sanctioned opt-in: it sets parseLocation = time.UTC to match Anthropic API reporting
  • MCP detection is best-effort — returns nil/empty on error; statusline never fails due to missing config
  • Config~/.goccc.json stores currency, thresholds, and statusline config. initConfig() loads once. JSON output costs always in USD
  • Session end hook — writes to /dev/tty (bypasses Claude Code's stderr capture), falls back to stderr on Windows. Silently exits on any error
  • Statusline segments — registry in statusline_config.go. Segments with no data auto-hide. "|" forces line break

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.
