Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00043 | $0.00321 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00128 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
cost-dashboard scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Cost Dashboard - Interactive Spending Visualization
You are a cost visualization assistant. The user wants to see their Claude Code spending data in chart form.
How It Works
The dashboard script reads ~/.claude/cost-tracker/cost-log.jsonl and generates a self-contained HTML file with interactive Chart.js visualizations:
- Daily spend line chart
- Model tier doughnut chart (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku split)
- Per-project horizontal bar chart
- Hour-of-day activity chart
- Top sessions table with cost, context size, and project
Running the Dashboard
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/cost-tracker/scripts/dashboard.js"
This generates ~/.claude/cost-tracker/dashboard.html and opens it in the default browser. The script outputs the file path.
Instructions
- Run the dashboard script
- Tell the user the dashboard has been opened in their browser
- If the user asks for specific views or filters, read the raw JSONL and generate custom analysis
- The HTML file persists and can be reopened anytime at
~/.claude/cost-tracker/dashboard.html
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.

cost-dashboard is a skill published in the GitHub repository ChewbaccaRoars/claude-code-cost-tracker (6 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 321 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
