model-usage

model-usage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from malue-ai/dazee-small. It costs 69 tokens per session (535 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of model-usage, MIT.

A script that summarises local CodexBar cost records by AI model for Codex or Claude.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review model usage and costs from CodexBar JSON data, either for the latest model or for all models.
Why use it?
It turns raw usage data into a current-model view or a breakdown across models, making model-level spending easier to inspect.

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

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 9d ago.

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

What it actually says

Model usage

Overview

Get per-model usage cost from CodexBar's local cost logs. Supports "current model" (most recent daily entry) or "all models" summaries for Codex or Claude.

TODO: add Linux CLI support guidance once CodexBar CLI install path is documented for Linux.

Quick start

  1. Fetch cost JSON via CodexBar CLI or pass a JSON file.
  2. Use the bundled script to summarize by model.
python {baseDir}/scripts/model_usage.py --provider codex --mode current
python {baseDir}/scripts/model_usage.py --provider codex --mode all
python {baseDir}/scripts/model_usage.py --provider claude --mode all --format json --pretty

Current model logic

  • Uses the most recent daily row with modelBreakdowns.
  • Picks the model with the highest cost in that row.
  • Falls back to the last entry in modelsUsed when breakdowns are missing.
  • Override with --model <name> when you need a specific model.

Inputs

  • Default: runs codexbar cost --format json --provider <codex|claude>.
  • File or stdin:
codexbar cost --provider codex --format json > /tmp/cost.json
python {baseDir}/scripts/model_usage.py --input /tmp/cost.json --mode all
cat /tmp/cost.json | python {baseDir}/scripts/model_usage.py --input - --mode current

Output

  • Text (default) or JSON (--format json --pretty).
  • Values are cost-only per model; tokens are not split by model in CodexBar output.

References

  • Read references/codexbar-cli.md for CLI flags and cost JSON fields.
Files

What ships with it

2 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.
