About model-usage
Model usage is a skill that summarizes per-model costs from CodexBar logs for Codex or Claude. It supports current-model and all-model views, with text or JSON output.
Key features
- 01Summarize current or all models
- 02Read local CodexBar cost data
- 03Accept exported JSON or stdin
- 04Output text or formatted JSON
Use cases
- 01Check the latest model's cost
- 02Compare costs across models
- 03Summarize exported CodexBar data

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.
CodexBar ships CLI builds for macOS and Linux. When codexbar is on PATH, the skill reads local usage directly; the bundled Python summarizer also accepts exported CodexBar JSON through --input anywhere Python is available.
Quick start
- Fetch cost JSON via CodexBar CLI or pass a JSON file.
- 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
modelsUsedwhen breakdowns are missing. - Override with
--model <name>when you need a specific model.
Inputs
- Default: runs
codexbar cost --format json --provider <codex|claude>. - macOS and Linux: use the bundled Homebrew formula installer above for live local usage reads. Linux users can also use CodexBar's AUR package or official release tarballs.
- Other platforms: use
--inputwith exported CodexBar JSON. - 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.
