## Project history and usage

ccusage is a local CLI for analyzing token usage and estimated costs from coding-agent CLIs. It began as Claude Code usage analysis and expanded into unified reports for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Amp, Droid, Codebuff, Hermes Agent, pi-agent, Goose, OpenClaw, Kilo, Kimi, Qwen, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI.

### Project history

The official guide says the original cc stood for Claude Code usage and now also fits Codex CLI usage. GitHub metadata shows the repository was created in May 2025, and the package metadata describes ccusage as analyzing coding-agent CLI token usage and costs from local data.

The project has moved quickly: official releases show the v20 series in 2026, and the docs emphasize all-local, read-only analysis with JSON and table output.

### Adoption history

The official README highlights direct execution through npx, bunx, pnpm dlx, and Nix, plus a Homebrew package in the input facts. Its adoption is tied to the rise of agentic coding CLIs that store token and model usage locally.

### How it is used

Users run commands such as ccusage daily, weekly, monthly, session, or source-focused commands like ccusage codex daily. Configuration can come from CLI flags, a custom config, environment variables, .ccusage/ccusage.json, ~/.config/claude/ccusage.json, or ~/.claude/ccusage.json.

### Why package nerds care

ccusage is package-nerd significant as a fast-moving observability tool for local AI coding workflows. It turns scattered JSONL and state files from multiple CLIs into a packageable, scriptable cost and token accounting surface.

### Timeline

- 2025: Official GitHub repository created.
- 2026: v20 series releases published.
- 2026: Official docs describe unified reports across many coding-agent CLI data sources.

### Related projects

- Claude Code and Codex are core data sources described in the official guide.
- The README also lists OpenCode, Amp, Droid, Codebuff, Hermes Agent, pi-agent, Goose, OpenClaw, Kilo, Kimi, Qwen, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI as supported sources.
