Cost Tracking
Use this skill to analyze Claude Code cost and usage history from a local SQLite
database. It is intended for users who already have a cost-tracking hook or
plugin writing usage rows to ~/.claude-cost-tracker/usage.db.
Source: salvaged from stale community PR #1304 by MayurBhavsar.
When to Use
- The user asks "how much have I spent?", "what did this session cost?", or
"what is my token usage?"
- The user mentions budgets, spending limits, overruns, or cost controls.
- The user wants a cost breakdown by project, tool, session, model, or date.
- The user wants to compare today against yesterday or inspect a recent trend.
- The user asks for a CSV export of recent usage records.
How It Works
First verify prerequisites:
command -v sqlite3 >/dev/null && echo "sqlite3 available" || echo "sqlite3 missing"
test -f ~/.claude-cost-tracker/usage.db && echo "Database found" || echo "Database not found"
