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.

Live CodexBar CLI invocation is currently documented for macOS only. The bundled Python summarizer is portable: if you already have exported CodexBar JSON, --input mode works anywhere Python is available.

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>.
• macOS: use the bundled CodexBar CLI install path above for live local usage reads.
• Linux/other platforms: use --input with exported CodexBar JSON until this skill documents a supported local CodexBar install path for that platform.
• 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.

• Read references/codexbar-cli.md for CLI flags and cost JSON fields.
