cc-skill-usage: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cc-skill-usage CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from FlorianBruniaux/cc-skill-usage. It costs 1,606 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository guidance for a small Python command-line tool that reads Claude Code's saved JSONL transcripts. It reports skill usage, timing, projects, and the messages that triggered skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying the CLI, its documentation, examples, prompts, or the skill that creates and interprets usage reports.
Why use it?
It records the project's structure and important rules, including which indexes must be updated when documentation changes.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is FlorianBruniaux/cc-skill-usage's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cc-skill-usage itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything cc-skill-usage configures →

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

cc-skill-usage CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

cc-skill-usage - Project Context

What this is

A single-file Python CLI. It reads Claude Code's own JSONL transcripts under ~/.claude/projects/ and reports Skill invocation analytics: counts, timing, project breakdown, and the message that triggered each call. Retroactive by design, it reads history already on disk instead of requiring a hook installed ahead of time.

Repository layout

cc-skill-usage    # the entire tool, one file, no package, no build step
README.md         # usage reference for humans
EXAMPLES.md       # goal-oriented scenarios mapped to the command that answers them
CHANGELOG.md      # every fix/feature with the bug it addressed and the verification
llms.txt          # compact index for LLM consumption (llmstxt.org format)
prompts/          # paste-into-a-session prompts. Two are about this tool (scenario
                  # smoke test, deep-dive report); project-reality-check.md is
                  # project-agnostic and works on any repo in any language
.claude/skills/   # skill-usage-report, a Skill that drives and interprets the CLI
LICENSE           # MIT

Adding a doc file means updating three indexes, not one: the README link list, llms.txt (its whole job is being the complete index), and the layout block above. All three drifted once already when EXAMPLES.md and prompts/ landed.

There is no src/, no test suite directory, no CI config. Keep it that way unless a real need forces otherwise: the entire value of this tool is that it is one file you can curl and run.

The one invariant that matters more than any feature

A Skill is invoked only when a transcript record's message.content[] contains a block with type == "tool_use" and name == "Skill". The skill name lives in input.skill. Nothing else counts, not a mention in prose, not a file path, not a human typing the skill's name in a sentence.

This was verified twice, independently, in the same session that built this tool: once by the Python parser, once by a from-scratch grep '"name":"Skill"' | jq '.message.content[]? | select(...) | .input.skill' pipeline. Both returned identical counts on the same data. If you touch the parsing logic in cc-skill-usage, re-run that same cross-check before trusting a new number. Do not assume a plausible-looking count is correct just because the code ran without error.

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.

cc-skill-usage CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository FlorianBruniaux/cc-skill-usage (7 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,606 tokens to every session, about $0.0064 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
