A script that summarizes local CodexBar cost logs by AI model for Codex or Claude. It can show the most recent model or a breakdown of all models.

Use it with CodexBar output, a JSON file, or standard input to inspect current-model or all-model costs.

It turns raw usage and cost data into a model-by-model view, making it easier to see which models account for usage.

model-usage — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by spinabot/brigade

About the project

Brigade is an ecosystem for running crews of AI agents as a personal intelligence system, with local handling of credentials and support for exposing agent crews to the internet for testing. It is for people who want to organize and operate multiple AI agents using their own API keys or existing Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude Code, or Codex access. The catalogue skills provide workflows for using Brigade and its agent ecosystem.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00069	$0.00561
Opus 5.5	$0.00028	$0.00224
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00112
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00056

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 1mo 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

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

Fetch cost JSON via CodexBar CLI or pass a JSON file.
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.

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.

model-usage is a skill published in the GitHub repository spinabot/brigade (11,340 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 561 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
