Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00069 | $0.00561 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00280 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00112 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00056 |
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 yesterday.
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.
This is a copy
88% identical to model-usage — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
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
modelsUsedwhen 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.mdfor CLI flags and cost JSON fields.
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.
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 understudy-ai/understudy (456 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 561 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to model-usage, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
