What This Skill Does

Summarizes per-model usage and cost data from CodexBar CLI's local cost logs for Codex or Claude. Supports fetching the most recent model entry or a full breakdown of all models, outputting as text or JSON.

Replaces manually parsing CodexBar cost JSON files or running multiple CLI commands to get model-level cost summaries.

When to Use It

  • Check which model incurred the highest cost in the latest CodexBar daily entry
  • Get a full per-model cost breakdown for Codex over a given period
  • Summarize Claude model usage costs from CodexBar logs in JSON format
  • Integrate model-level cost data into a shell script or automation pipeline
  • Compare cost distribution across models for a specific provider (Codex or Claude)

Install

$ openclaw skills install @steipete/model-usage

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.
