openusage CLAUDE.md

openusage CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from janekbaraniewski/openusage. It costs 2,303 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for OpenUsage, a terminal dashboard that monitors AI coding-tool usage and spending. It also documents the project’s commands, coding conventions, and test commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building, testing, formatting, linting, running, or changing the Go-based OpenUsage project.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent the project context and expected checks needed to make safe, consistent changes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

openusage 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 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What is this project?

OpenUsage is a terminal dashboard (TUI) for monitoring AI coding tool usage and spend. It auto-detects AI tools and API keys on the workstation and displays live data using Bubble Tea. Written in Go, requires CGO enabled (for mattn/go-sqlite3 used by the Cursor provider).

Commands

make build          # build binary to ./bin/openusage (includes version ldflags)
make test           # run all tests with -race and coverage
make test-verbose   # verbose test output
make lint           # golangci-lint (skips gracefully if not installed)
make fmt            # go fmt ./...
make vet            # go vet ./...
make run            # go run cmd/openusage/main.go
make demo           # build and run demo with dummy data (for screenshots)
make sync-tools     # regenerate all AI tool configs from canonical template

# Run a single test
go test ./internal/providers/openai/ -run TestFetch -v

# Run provider tests only
go test ./internal/providers/...

Code style

  • Standard gofmt with goimports. Tabs for indentation.
  • Import groups (separated by blank lines): stdlib, third-party, internal.
  • Bubble Tea aliased as tea.
  • Errors wrapped with provider prefix: fmt.Errorf("openai: creating request: %w", err).
  • Pointer fields for optional numerics: Limit *float64.
  • JSON tags use snake_case with omitempty for optional fields.

Architecture

Data flow

There are two runtime modes:

Direct mode (default):

main.go → config.Load() → runDashboard()
  → detect.AutoDetect() → registers providers from providers.AllProviders()
  → polls providers concurrently on a ticker
  → snapshots sent to TUI via tea.Program.Send(SnapshotsMsg)

Daemon mode (openusage telemetry):

daemon.Server polls providers → ingests into SQLite (telemetry.Store)
  → TUI connects via daemon.ViewRuntime over unix socket
  → daemon.ReadModel hydrates snapshots from stored events
  → telemetry events deduplicated, mapped to providers via ProviderLinks

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.
