mkdir -p .claude/skills && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dvcrn/openclaw-skills-marketplace/HEAD/plugins/aligurelli--claude-usage-checker/skills/claude-usage/SKILL.md -o .claude/skills/claude-usage.md

Drops the SKILL.md into .claude/skills/claude-usage.md. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any agent that loads SKILL.md files from .claude/skills/.

Claude Usage Checker

Launches the Claude CLI interactively (PTY) and reads the /usage output to report your Claude Code / Claude Max quota.

Prerequisites

  • Claude CLI must be installed (npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code) and logged in
  • If running claude shows "Missing API key", the user must log in manually first: open a terminal, run claude, and complete the browser login flow
  • Requires an interactive PTY — the agent will launch a local process and read its output (quota info only)

Steps

  1. Launch claude with PTY
  2. Wait for the welcome screen (poll until it appears)
  3. Send /usage + Enter
  4. Read the output (poll until usage data appears)
  5. Close with Escape then /exit
  6. Report the results

Commands

# Launch claude with PTY
exec pty=true command="claude"

# Wait and check log
process action=poll sessionId=XXX timeout=5000

# Send /usage
process action=send-keys sessionId=XXX literal="/usage"
process action=send-keys sessionId=XXX keys=["Enter"]

# Read output
process action=poll sessionId=XXX timeout=5000

# Exit
process action=send-keys sessionId=XXX keys=["Escape"]
process action=send-keys sessionId=XXX literal="/exit"
process action=send-keys sessionId=XXX keys=["Enter"]

Notes

  • If you see "Missing API key" → tell the user to log in; browser-based login won't work headlessly
  • Allow a few seconds between polls — Claude CLI starts slowly
  • "Current week" = weekly reset, not daily

Output Format

Report in a table:

Usage Resets
Current session X% used today at HH:MM (timezone)
Weekly (all models) X% used HH:MM (timezone)
Weekly (Sonnet only) X% used HH:MM (timezone)
Extra usage X% used / $X of $Y spent date (timezone)

Always show reset times. The CLI displays them as "Resets Xpm" — convert to HH:MM format.
