LLM¶

Recipes for managing Claude Code usage and configuration.

Usage Tracking¶

token-usage runs ccusage to show token consumption and costs across sessions. Useful for understanding how much you've used over a period, which sessions were expensive, and which models consumed the most.

The statusline already shows 5-hour and 7-day usage bars in real time. token-usage gives you the historical breakdown.

Settings¶

settings opens ~/.claude/settings.json in your editor. Common things to tweak: model (opus, sonnet), effort level, status line config, and permission rules.

Cache¶

cache-clear removes the statusline usage cache (/tmp/claude_usage_cache). The statusline caches API responses for 60 seconds to avoid hitting the network on every render. Clear it if the bars look stale or after changing accounts.
