Token Monitor is a local-first desktop widget that tracks token usage, costs, account limits, and session details across many AI coding tools. It is for developers who use tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode across multiple devices, with synchronized usage history and breakdowns.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00051 | $0.00051 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00026 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00010 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00005 |
Grade A, and why
token-monitor 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 12d 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.
What it actually says
CLAUDE.md
Project guidance for all coding agents is consolidated in AGENTS.md so Claude Code and Codex share one file. Edit AGENTS.md, not this file — the line below imports it.
@AGENTS.md
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.

token-monitor CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Javis603/token-monitor (2,089 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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.
