Codeburn — Token Cost Observability

Reads directly from ~/.claude/projects/ (no API keys, no wrappers) and renders a TUI dashboard showing where tokens go.

Complementary to rtk: rtk reduces tokens spent (efficiency); codeburn shows which tasks need optimization most (observability). Together they close the feedback loop.

Key Commands

codeburn                          # Interactive TUI dashboard (keyboard navigation)
codeburn today                    # Today's sessions only
codeburn report -p 30days         # 30-day rolling window
codeburn report --project <name>  # Filter by project
codeburn export --format csv      # Export for further analysis
codeburn export --format json     # JSON output

What It Measures

MetricWhy it matters
Tokens by task type (13 categories)Find which work type is most expensive
One-shot rate per task type% tasks done in 1 API call vs retry loop
Per-model breakdownCost difference between Opus and Sonnet for your actual tasks
USD cost estimateReal spend per session / project
Input vs output token splitOutput tokens cost 3-5× more than input

The 13 Task Categories

refactor · bug-fix · feature · test · docs · review · debug · config · migration · research · security · cleanup · other

Optimization Feedback Loop

codeburn report → find low one-shot rate task type
  → add context/rules for that category in CLAUDE.md or claude/*.md
  → rtk reduces token output on those commands
  → re-run codeburn to verify improvement

Signal: If one-shot rate < 50% for a task type, it needs more upfront context or better rules.

Install

npm install -g codeburn      # Global install
npx codeburn                 # One-shot without global install

Requires Node.js 18+.
