alt Hacker NewsDoes it also show usage? I think it's pretty ridiculous we have to install 3rd party packages/implement it ourselfs just to see how much gas is left in the tank basically. Or constantly check the usage tab on the web, but still.

Why not just /usage?

/status?
To clarify on what the others mentioned: `/usage` and `/status` in the CLI do give you basic session token counts.
But regarding khoury's original point about the actual "gas in the tank" (billing/account balance)—no, my tool doesn't show that either.
Since `claude-devtools` strictly parses your local `~/.claude/` logs and makes zero network calls, it doesn't have access to your Anthropic account to pull your actual dollar balance.
What it does provide is high-resolution context usage. Instead of just a total session count, it breaks down tokens per-turn (e.g., how many tokens were eaten by reading a specific file vs. the tool output). It helps you manage your context window locally, but for billing, you're unfortunately still stuck checking the web dashboard.
