cost-status

cost-status is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DeevsDeevs/agent-system. It costs 60 tokens per session (176 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A Claude Code status-line setup that displays session, monthly, and total costs along with context usage. It records cost data in a local tracking file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure cost tracking, show usage in the Claude Code status line, and verify the required command-line dependencies.
Why use it?
It makes resource use visible while working, so you can notice spending and remaining context during a session.

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

cost-status scanned grade B 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/show-cost.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

2. Add the status line command to `~/.claude/settings.json` as documented in `cost-status/README.md`.

What it actually says

Cost Status

This skill configures the Claude Code status-line plugin that reads session JSON from stdin and tracks costs in ~/.claude/cost-tracking.json.

Workflow

  1. Install the plugin if needed.
  2. Add the status line command to ~/.claude/settings.json as documented in cost-status/README.md.
  3. If the user needs the exact script path, use the find command in the README.
  4. Confirm dependencies: jq, awk, Bash 4+.
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
