Usage Dashboard

The Usage Dashboard breaks down how your Claude Code sessions consume tokens, which tools and skills they call, and what it costs. Open it from the Usage Dashboard button in the bottom toolbar.

It reads Claude Code’s own transcripts from ~/.claude/projects, from CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR if you set one, and from every profile you have added. While it scans, a progress bar reports Analyzing N of M sessions…; results are cached so later opens are fast. Quests on other agents are not included.

Tabs

Section titled “Tabs”

Tokens

Section titled “Tokens”

Shows aggregate token counts across all sessions:

  • Input tokens — Tokens sent to the model
  • Output tokens — Tokens generated by the model
  • Cache write tokens — Tokens written to prompt cache
  • Cache read tokens — Tokens served from prompt cache

A By Project table shows how usage is distributed across your projects.

Tools

Section titled “Tools”

Displays tool usage with a sortable table and stacked bars:

  • Count — How many times each tool was called
  • Time — Total execution time per tool
  • Tokens — Tokens consumed per tool
  • Cost — Estimated cost per tool

Bars are stacked by model, and the legend names each model with its version (for example Opus 4.6, Sonnet 5) so you can tell generations apart.

Skills

Section titled “Skills”

Same layout as the Tools tab but for Claude Code skill invocations. Shows which skills are used most and how much they cost.

Cost Estimator

Section titled “Cost Estimator”

Estimates your total spend based on token usage and model pricing:

  • Time Range — 1 day, 1 week or all available. Changing it reloads every tab.
  • Per-model pricing — Editable price per million tokens for each token type. Defaults are fetched from public pricing data with built-in fallbacks.
  • Subtotal per model and a Total Estimated Cost.

The cost estimator is an approximation based on token counts and published pricing. Actual billing may differ depending on your plan.

Live Stats

Section titled “Live Stats”

For the quest you are looking at right now, open the Live Stats extension panel (⌘5 by default). It shows input, output and cache-read tokens, an estimated cost, the quest’s Token budget bar if it has one, and the same Tools / Skills breakdown for that session only.
