CodexBar

Check provider usage, limits, credits, and configuration health in JSON format.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/codexbar-steipete/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

CodexBar read. Provider usage, limits, credits, config health. JSON. No writes.

What this skill does

CodexBar

Read CodexBar. Never mutate config/auth.

Run

skill="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/codexbar"
"$skill/scripts/codexbar" doctor
"$skill/scripts/codexbar" providers
"$skill/scripts/codexbar" usage
"$skill/scripts/codexbar" usage --provider codex
"$skill/scripts/codexbar" usage --all

All stdout: JSON. Upstream CodexBar shape kept. Less drift, fewer tokens.

Rules

  • Start doctor when install/config unknown.
  • usage reads enabled providers. Prefer this.
  • usage --provider ID reads one provider.
  • usage --all expensive; use only when needed.
  • Identities hidden by default. --include-identities only when user explicitly needs them.
  • Secrets always hidden.
  • Helper read-only: fixed allowlist only. No config writes, auth repair, enable/disable, key storage.
  • Timeout means upstream stuck. Narrow provider or raise CODEXBAR_TIMEOUT (default 120 seconds).

Binary

Auto-find: CODEXBAR_BIN, PATH, app bundle, Homebrew cask. If missing: open CodexBar, Preferences > Advanced > Install CLI; or set CODEXBAR_BIN.

Each stdout/stderr stream capped at 1 MiB while fully drained. Timeout kills process group.
