cost-track

Capture token usage from Claude Code session logs, calculate USD costs using the supplied pricing reference, and save structured records to AgentDB. Review totals by model and tier, and provide data for cost reports.

OriginalShow the original description

Auto-capture per-session token usage from the Claude Code session jsonl and persist to the cost-tracking namespace

See how to install

Good for

  • Record costs after a block of work
  • Save final usage totals at session end
  • Capture usage periodically during long sessions
  • Preview a session cost summary without saving

Cost Track

Reads the active Claude Code session jsonl (~/.claude/projects/<encoded-cwd>/<session>.jsonl), tallies assistant-message usage per model, computes USD cost using REFERENCE.md pricing, and writes a structured record to the cost-tracking AgentDB namespace. This is the producer that gives cost-report and cost-optimize real data to consume.

When to use

  • After a meaningful chunk of work, to capture spend for the report.
  • At session-end to persist the final tally.
  • Periodically during long sessions (cron-friendly — see /loop 30m).

Steps

  1. Run the tracker from the project root:

    node plugins/ruflo-cost-tracker/scripts/track.mjs
    

    The script auto-discovers the session jsonl from the current working directory. To pin a specific session: TRACK_SESSION=/path/to/session.jsonl. To dry-run (no memory write): TRACK_DRY_RUN=1.

  2. Inspect the markdown summary — total cost, per-model and per-tier breakdowns, and the persisted memory key.

  3. Verify persistence — mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search({ query: "session-", namespace: "cost-tracking" }) should list the new record. cost-report step 1 reads from this namespace.

Pricing source of truth

The script's PRICING constant mirrors REFERENCE.md "Model pricing (USD per 1M tokens)". Update both together when prices change. Cache-write tokens are billed at cache_write rate; cache-read tokens at cache_read (per Anthropic billing docs).
