check-model-usage

check-model-usage is a skill for Claude Code from kellykampen/agent-skills. It costs 174 tokens per session (2,593 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line usage checker that combines quota, current usage, and session and weekly pacing data for several AI coding tools and providers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, GLM/Z.ai, Kimi, OpenRouter, xAI, or other CodexBar-supported providers from one Python command.
Why use it?
It avoids checking each provider separately and shows when a provider's data is not available through CodexBar.

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 A, and why

check-model-usage 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_model_usage.py), 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Check Model Usage

Runs scripts/check_model_usage.py (a single self-contained Python script, stdlib only), which prints one consolidated report covering current usage plus session (5h) and weekly pacing across the configured harnesses/providers. Just run it (takes ~20s; most of that is codexbar's Claude fetch):

python3 scripts/check_model_usage.py

Use --only= to check a subset (comma-separated): --only=claude,codex, --only=glm,kimi, etc. Accepted names: claude, codex, agy (alias for antigravity), glm (alias for zai), kimi, openrouter, xai/grok (if CodexBar exposes those provider IDs) -- plus any other codexbar provider id (e.g. gemini) if explicitly requested.

How it works

The only data source is CodexBar (brew install steipete/tap/codexbar), a community-maintained CLI that reaches each provider's usage data itself (OAuth token files, provider web APIs, API tokens) and returns clean JSON. If CodexBar does not yet expose xAI/Grok, OpenRouter, or GPT-5.6 split-out windows, report those pools as not visible to this quota checker rather than probing provider APIs directly. This skill never opens cmux panes, never drives any harness TUI, never calls provider APIs directly, and never writes codexbar config (no config enable, no set-api-key -- all 5 providers are already configured in codexbar; a piped set-api-key from an earlier version once corrupted a working stored key). If you're tempted to do any of those to fill a gap, stop: fix it inside codexbar instead (see references/data-sources.md). The script:

  1. Installs codexbar via Homebrew if missing (the only mutation it ever performs, and only when absent).
  2. Fetches codexbar usage --provider <x> --json for each requested harness in parallel -- read-only.
  3. Renders the report: each returned window (primary/secondary/tertiary, or Antigravity's extraRateWindows) is classified into session / daily / weekly / monthly buckets by actual window length -- not by slot name, because codexbar's slot naming doesn't map consistently across providers (z.ai's primary is weekly; see references/data-sources.md).

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.
