Token chart
Generate token-usage charts from the database or from session files.
Modes
default — daily stacked token-usage bars across the last N daysprovider-model — stacked usage grouped by provider + model for attribution by model familyprovider-model-cost — estimated cost grouped by provider + model using the pricing reference bundled with the script
Examples
Default chart:
bun /workspace/piclaw/runtime/skills/operator/token-chart/token-chart.ts
Provider + model chart:
bun /workspace/piclaw/runtime/skills/operator/token-chart/token-chart.ts --mode provider-model
Estimated provider + model cost chart:
bun /workspace/piclaw/runtime/skills/operator/token-chart/token-chart.ts --mode provider-model-cost
Post to the web chat via IPC:
bun /workspace/piclaw/runtime/skills/operator/token-chart/token-chart.ts --ipc
Post via IPC and allow a Pushover nudge:
bun /workspace/piclaw/runtime/skills/operator/token-chart/token-chart.ts --ipc --nudge
Data sources
- default source:
token_usage rows in ${PICLAW_STORE}/messages.db
--source sessions: read usage from session files under ${PICLAW_DATA}/sessions instead of SQLite--sessions-dir <dir>: override the session-file location explicitly
Use --source sessions when DB-backed token usage is unavailable or when you want to inspect raw session-file history directly.
Output behaviour
--ipc writes an IPC message JSON file and, if needed, an SVG media file so piclaw posts the chart to the web timeline.- without
--ipc, the script writes markdown to stdout with an embedded SVG data URL plus summary text.
--output-svg <path> writes the SVG to a file in either mode.
Notes
- Numbers are formatted with compact
K / M labels.
- The estimated cost mode uses
provider-model-pricing-reference.ts and the human-readable note provider-model-pricing-reference.md.
- Use this on demand unless you intentionally wire it into a scheduled task.
