ClawCost

Run this command:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/clawcost.py --budget 10

Output

JSON with:

• balance: {initial, spent, remaining} or null
• today: cost, budget, pct
• week: total week cost
• total: all-time cost, tokens
• models: breakdown all-time
• models_today: breakdown for today only
• daily: cost per day (last 7 days)

Set Balance

User sets INITIAL balance (when they top up):

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/clawcost.py --set-balance 50.00

Remaining auto-calculates: initial - total_spent

How to Present

Tone: Friendly, like a helpful assistant checking expenses. Use emojis sparingly.

Format: Use tree-style (├ └) for clean output:

💰 clawleaks
├ Balance $42.98 / $50 remaining
├ Today   $1.36 / $10 (14%) ✅
├ Week    $7.02
└ Total   $7.02 (15.5M tok)

📈 Sonnet $3.99 (57%) • Haiku $2.06 (29%) • Opus $0.97 (14%)

Rules:

• Skip $0 models
• Add brief insight ("Opus only 14%, nice savings 👍")

Alerts (IMPORTANT):

• If today.pct > 80%: Start with ⚠️ "Warning: Daily budget {pct}% used!"
• If today.pct > 100%: Start with 🚨 "OVER BUDGET! ${cost} spent"
• If balance.remaining < 5: Warn "💸 Low balance: ${remaining} left"
• If balance is null: Suggest "Set initial balance with --set-balance"
• If budget is fine: End with ✅

Contextual:

• Quick question → short answer
• Wants detail → full breakdown + daily
• Over budget → always show warning first, suggest switching to Haiku
