burnie 0.1.1

Claude Code session cost analytics: your tokens are burning

Some agents just want to watch your tokens burn.

---

burnie is a local cost analytics tool for Claude Code. It reads the session transcripts Claude Code stores on disk and gives you a clear picture of where your money is going: no API key, no cloud, just your files.

Features

• Report: visual HTML breakdown of token costs across all your Claude Code sessions: total spend, daily average, cache savings, cost by model
• Inspect: drill into any session to see what drove the cost: context growth over time, tool call patterns, agent spawns, repeated operations
• Analyze: the /burnie skill runs a condensed report through Claude for a written, reasoned take on where your cost is coming from and what (if anything) to do about it

Install

# run without installing
uvx burnie

# or install as a persistent command
uv tool install burnie

No uv? pip install burnie works too.

Then get the /burnie skill into Claude Code:

burnie --install-skill

Usage

# Generate HTML report
burnie

# Highlight a specific session in the report
burnie --session <session-id>

# Markdown report instead of HTML
burnie --markdown

# Condensed, LLM-readable report printed to stdout (what the `/burnie` skill uses)
burnie --raw --session <session-id>

The report is written to burnie-report.html in the current directory and opened in your browser. --markdown writes burnie-report.md instead. --raw prints straight to stdout with no file.

How it works

Claude Code writes every session to a JSONL file at:

~/.claude/projects/<encoded-project-path>/<session-id>.jsonl

Each assistant turn includes token usage. burnie reads those files, applies current model pricing from src/burnie/pricing.py, and surfaces the data.

Pricing

Stored in src/burnie/pricing.py, the single source of truth. Run /burnie-update to refresh from Anthropic's pricing page.

Burnie doesn't judge. It just burnies. 🔥
