# Clawdbot Cost Tracker
Track token usage and estimate API costs across all Clawdbot sessions.
## Quick Start
### Get Current Usage
```bash
# Use sessions_list to get token data
sessions_list --limit 20 --messageLimit 0
```
Extract `totalTokens` and `model` from each session.
### Calculate Cost
Model pricing (USD per million tokens):
| Model | Input | Output | Avg Ratio |
|-------|-------|--------|-----------|
| claude-opus-4-5 | $15 | $75 | 30/70 |
| claude-sonnet-4 | $3 | $15 | 30/70 |
| codex-mini-latest | $1 | $5 | 30/70 |
| gpt-4o | $2.5 | $10 | 30/70 |
| gpt-4o-mini | $0.15 | $0.6 | 30/70 |
Cost formula (assuming 30% input, 70% output):
```
cost = tokens * (0.3 * input_price + 0.7 * output_price) / 1,000,000
```
## Daily Tracking
### Save Usage Snapshot
Store daily snapshots in `memory/usage/YYYY-MM-DD.json`:
```json
{
"date": "2026-01-29",
"timestamp": "2026-01-29T08:20:00+08:00",
"sessions": {
"session_key": {
"model": "claude-opus-4-5",
"totalTokens": 123456,
"channel": "discord"
}
},
"summary": {
"totalTokens": 250000,
"byModel": {
"claude-opus-4-5": 220000,
"codex-mini-latest": 30000
}
}
}
```
### Calculate Daily Cost
Compare consecutive days to get daily usage:
```
daily_tokens = today.totalTokens - yesterday.totalTokens
daily_cost = estimate_cost(daily_tokens, model)
```
## Scripts
### `scripts/snapshot-usage.js`
Creates a usage snapshot from current session data.
```bash
node scripts/snapshot-usage.js [output-dir]
# Default output: memory/usage/YYYY-MM-DD.json
```
### `scripts/calculate-cost.js`
Calculates cost for a date range.
```bash
node scripts/calculate-cost.js [date]
# Default: today
# Output: JSON with token delta and estimated cost
```
## Integration with Daily Report
Add to HEARTBEAT.md:
1. Call `sessions_list` to get current tokens
2. Load previous day's snapshot from `memory/usage/`
3. Calculate delta and estimate cost
4. Include in daily report format:
```
💰 **Clawdbot Cost** (yesterday)
• Used: 45.2k tokens
• Estimated: ~$1.23
```

habit-tracker
Build habits with streaks, reminders, and progress visualization
flight-tracker
Flight tracking and scheduling. Track live flights in real-time by region, callsign, or airport using OpenSky Network. Search flight schedules between airports. Use for queries like "What flights are over Switzerland?" or "When do flights from Hamburg arrive in Zurich?" or "Track flight SWR123".
flight-tracker-2
Track flights in real-time with detailed status, gate info, delays, and live position. Use when user asks to track a flight, check flight status, look up flight information by flight number (e.g., "track AA100", "what's the status of United 2402", "check my flight BA123"), or wants to display flight data in a formatted view similar to Flighty app.
finance-tracker
Track personal expenses with natural language. Log spending, view reports, search transactions. Works with any AI model.
expense-tracker-pro
Track expenses via natural language, get spending summaries, set budgets
deepwork-tracker
Track deep work sessions locally (start/stop/status) and generate a GitHub-contribution-graph style minutes-per-day heatmap for sharing (e.g., via Telegram). Use when the user says things like “start deep work”, “stop deep work”, “am I in a session?”, “show my deep work graph”, or asks to review deep work history.
crypto-tracker
Track crypto prices, set alerts, and search coins via CoinGecko API.
clawdbot-workspace-template-review
Compare a Clawdbot workspace against the official templates installed with Clawdbot (npm or source) and list missing sections to pull in, especially after upgrades.
clawdbot-skill-update
Comprehensive backup, update, and restore workflow with dynamic workspace detection
clawdbot-self-security-audit
Perform a comprehensive read-only security audit of Clawdbot's own configuration. This is a knowledge-based skill that teaches Clawdbot to identify hardening opportunities across the system. Use when user asks to "run security check", "audit clawdbot", "check security hardening", or "what vulnerabilities does my Clawdbot have". This skill uses Clawdbot's internal capabilities and file system access to inspect configuration, detect misconfigurations, and recommend remediations. It is designed to be extensible - new checks can be added by updating this skill's knowledge.
clawdbot-security
Security audit and hardening for Clawdbot/Moltbot installations. Detects exposed gateways, fixes permissions, enables authentication, and guides firewall/Tailscale setup.
clawdbot-release-check
Check for new clawdbot releases and notify once per new version.
