What is claude-tools CLAUDE.md?

A set of command-line tools for Claude Code, including a terminal dashboard that watches several coding sessions. The dashboard shows whether sessions are working, waiting, idle, or need permission, along with token use and cost.

Use it to monitor sessions running in tmux panes, filter which panes are shown, refresh the display, and track usage and cost.

It provides one place to see what multiple Claude Code sessions are doing instead of checking each terminal separately.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00717	$0.00717
Opus 5	$0.00358	$0.00358
Sonnet 5	$0.00143	$0.00143
Haiku 4.5	$0.00072	$0.00072

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-tools 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 8d 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.

Tools

claude-monitor

TUI dashboard for monitoring multiple Claude Code sessions across tmux panes.

Features:

Real-time status detection (waiting, working, permission required, idle)
Token usage and cost tracking per session (USD)
Auto-refresh with configurable interval
Filter to show only Claude Code sessions or all panes
Keyboard navigation

Usage:

claude-monitor              # Default: 2s refresh, Claude panes only
claude-monitor -a           # Show all panes
claude-monitor -i 5         # Refresh every 5 seconds
claude-monitor --help       # Full options

Status indicators:

>_ Green - Waiting for input
.. Yellow - Working/thinking
?! Red - Permission required
ok Gray - Idle/completed

Status Detection

Detection uses multiple signals for accuracy:

Pane title - Claude Code sets title with ✳ marker
Session files - ~/.claude/projects/{path}/*.jsonl for context (tool, model, stop_reason)
Debug logs - ~/.claude/debug/{session}.txt for real-time state (Stream started, idle_prompt)
Screen content - Fallback for permission prompts (Allow/Deny buttons)

Cost Tracking

Token usage and costs are calculated from session JSONL files:

Input tokens: Base input cost
Output tokens: Output cost
Cache writes (5m): 1.25x input cost
Cache writes (1h): 2x input cost
Cache reads: 0.1x input cost

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.
