Tokscale is a CLI tool that tracks token usage and costs across AI coding agents including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and more. Built with a native Rust core for high-performance processing, it provides detailed breakdowns of input, output, cache, and reasoning tokens with real-time pricing calculations via LiteLLM data. Features include interactive 2D/3D contribution graphs, web visualization dashboards, global leaderboards, and JSON export for cost analysis.

Tokscale brings visibility to the often-opaque world of AI coding agent costs. As developers adopt tools like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Cursor, token consumption can escalate quickly without clear insight into where the spend is going. Tokscale reads JSONL conversation logs from these tools and breaks down usage into input, output, cache read, cache write, and reasoning tokens with precise cost calculations using LiteLLM pricing data.

The tool is built with a native Rust core that delivers processing speeds roughly ten times faster than pure JavaScript alternatives, making it practical even for developers with months of accumulated conversation logs. A web-based visualization layer renders interactive contribution graphs in both 2D and 3D, along with filterable dashboards that help identify the most expensive sessions, models, and time periods. JSON export supports integration with spreadsheets or BI tools for deeper analysis.

Beyond individual tracking, Tokscale includes community features like a global leaderboard where developers can compare token usage and a profile system with contribution statistics. The tool supports flexible time-period filtering covering all-time, monthly, and weekly views. For teams and individuals looking to optimize their AI tooling budgets, Tokscale provides the data foundation needed to make informed decisions about which models and agents deliver the best value for their workflows.

Minimal terminal coding harness

Pi Coding Agent is an MIT-licensed Node.js CLI from earendil-works for building and running coding agents in a local terminal. The current package describes a read/bash/edit/write toolset and session management, while the repo positions Pi as a unified LLM API, agent loop, TUI, and coding-agent CLI. It is best framed as a lean, self-extensible BYO-model toolkit rather than a managed IDE.
