llm-cli-telemetry: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

llm-cli-telemetry CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Mizune/llm-cli-telemetry. It costs 1,192 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A project guide for collecting activity data from Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI through shell wrappers. It covers local Docker-based monitoring and sending data to a remote endpoint.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up, running, checking, or removing telemetry for these command-line coding assistants, or when changing how their data is exported.
Why use it?
It gives developers one place to understand the telemetry system, its configuration, and its main commands. This reduces the need to trace the setup through many files.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is Mizune/llm-cli-telemetry's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on llm-cli-telemetry 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 llm-cli-telemetry 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 B, and why

llm-cli-telemetry CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 2 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 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

- **Codex CLI** OTEL is configured via `~/.codex/config.toml` `[otel]` section (set by install.sh).

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- **OTEL Collector image** (`otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib`) is distroless: no shell, wget, or curl. Healthcheck is disabled in compose; use `./status.sh` (external curl) instead.

Project Overview

Telemetry collection stack for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI via shell function wrappers. Supports two modes: local (Docker Compose stack with Prometheus/Loki/Tempo/Grafana) and remote (direct OTLP export to any endpoint, no Docker required). Data flows through OTEL Collector or directly to remote endpoints.

Architecture

  • Shell functions wrap claude/codex/gemini commands, injecting OTEL env vars transparently
  • telemetry.yaml drives all configuration; scripts/generate.sh produces collector config and compose overrides (local mode only)
  • Data collection: automatic OTEL export + optional local log file ingestion via filelog receiver
  • Env var prefix: LLM_CLI_TELEMETRY_*
  • .setup-mode file stores current mode/protocol/endpoint/headers (pipe-delimited)

Key Files

File Purpose
setup.sh Entry point: interactive setup (calls scripts/install.sh)
start.sh Start local Docker stack with auto-generate
stop.sh Stop Docker services (--clean for volumes)
status.sh Mode-aware health check
uninstall.sh Entry point: remove integration (calls scripts/uninstall.sh)
scripts/lib.sh Shared utilities: logging, .setup-mode readers, common variables
scripts/shell-integration.sh Shell functions (claude/codex/gemini) with OTEL env vars
scripts/install.sh Interactive setup: mode selection, prerequisites, CLI configs
scripts/uninstall.sh Remove shell integration, restore configs from .bak
scripts/generate.sh telemetry.yaml -> collector-config.yaml + docker-compose.override.yml
.env.example Environment variables template (Grafana creds, OTEL endpoint)
.setup-mode Generated: setup state (mode|protocol|endpoint|headers)
telemetry.example.yaml User config template (copied to telemetry.yaml on install)
otel-collector/collector-config.yaml Generated OTEL Collector pipeline config
docker-compose.yml Service definitions (collector, prometheus, loki, tempo, grafana)

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.
