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 | $0.00890 | $0.00890 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00445 | $0.00445 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00178 | $0.00178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00089 | $0.00089 |
Grade A, and why
claude-code-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.

CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
Overview
A real-time terminal application that monitors Claude service connection status and usage statistics, providing clear visual display of service status, conversation information, and historical usage trends.
Architecture
- Main Program:
claude_monitor.py- ContainsNetworkMonitorclass - Launch Scripts:
start_monitor.sh- Basic shell launcherclaude_monitor.command- macOS launcher with Node environment setup
- macOS App:
Network Monitor.app- AppleScript wrapper (currently points to wrong path: network_monitor.py instead of claude_monitor.py)
Commands
Run Monitor
# Direct execution
python3 claude_monitor.py
# Using shell script
./start_monitor.sh
# macOS double-click (auto-configures Node environment)
open claude_monitor.command
Dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Test ccusage Commands
# Token-based usage calculation
npx ccusage@latest blocks --mode calculate
# Daily statistics
npx ccusage@latest daily --mode calculate
# Update ccusage (used for auto-recovery)
npx --yes ccusage@latest --version
Core Features
Network Monitoring
- Pings google.com for latency testing
- HTTP request speed testing
- Real-time connection status indicators (🟢/🔴)
- macOS desktop notifications on connection state changes
Claude Usage Monitoring
- Uses
ccusage blocks --mode calculatefor token-based statistics - Displays active/completed conversation status
- Calculates 5-hour conversation reset timer
- Real-time remaining time display
- Token usage and cost tracking (uses LiteLLM pricing data)
Historical Billing
- Primary:
ccusage daily --mode calculatefor daily cost analysis - Fallback:
ccusage blocksaggregation if daily fails - 7-day trend visualization with colored bars (red/yellow/green)
- Cumulative total and daily average costs
- All costs calculated from actual tokens, not cached values
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.

claude-code-monitor CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository vincequant/claude-code-monitor (40 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 890 tokens to every session, about $0.0044 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.
