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.

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 | $0.01575 | $0.01575 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00788 | $0.00788 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00315 | $0.00315 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00158 | $0.00158 |
Grade A, and why
ai-usage-widget AGENTS.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 2d 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.

Goal
Implement and maintain a desktop widget for Windows, Ubuntu Desktop, and macOS that monitors AI coding tool usage through local CLIs.
The expected result is:
- A functional Tauri desktop application.
- A TypeScript frontend.
- A compact, floating, always-on-top, borderless widget.
- Local integration with Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini.
- Working builds for Windows, Ubuntu Desktop, and macOS.
- A simple, modular base that is ready to distribute.
Working Principles
- KISS: keep the code simple and direct.
- Avoid overengineering.
- Separate responsibilities by module.
- Do not add dependencies unless they solve a real limitation.
- Do not use the network or external APIs to obtain usage data.
- Prioritize fault tolerance: if one provider fails, the widget must keep working.
- Do not block the UI while querying CLIs.
Workflow
- Initialize or review the Tauri + frontend project.
- Implement CLI detection.
- Implement safe command execution.
- Implement provider adapters.
- Implement parsers with tests.
- Implement the unified data model.
- Implement the minimal UI.
- Integrate the refresh scheduler.
- Validate detection, parsing, and UI behavior.
- Prepare builds and installers for Windows, Ubuntu Desktop, and macOS.
- Document the result.
Do not skip phases unless the repository already has that phase completed.
Technical Constraints
- Frontend: TypeScript.
- Desktop framework: Tauri.
- Local backend: Node.
- CLI execution:
child_processand, when a real TTY is required, a pseudo-terminal. - Do not use Electron.
- Do not use heavy UI libraries.
- Do not use external APIs to query usage.
- Do not implement history, multi-user support, or browser extensions.
Codex Integration
Codex must not be queried with codex status, because current versions do not expose status as a subcommand.
Correct flow:
- Detect installation with
where.exe codexon Windows orwhich codexon Unix/macOS. - Open
codex --no-alt-screeninside a pseudo-terminal. - Send
/status. - Capture output.
- Exit with
/quit.
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.

ai-usage-widget AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository odrasile/ai-usage-widget (7 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,575 tokens to every session, about $0.0079 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
