Install genuine per-session cost tracking for Claude Code by wiring bundled logger scripts into the user's statusline — preserving any existing statusline and hooks. Use when the user asks to set up, install, enable, or repair cost tracking / cost logging / session cost capture. Idempotent; safe to re-run.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Setup Cost Tracking Installs genuine cost capture for every Claude Code session on this machine. Cost data (`cost.total_cost_usd` etc.) is computed by Claude Code itself and is available **only** in the statusline payload — hooks never receive it. So this skill wires a logger into the statusline path while preserving whatever statusline and hooks the user already has. ## What gets installed Bundled in this skill's `scripts/` directory, copied to `~/.claude/scripts/`: | Script | Role | |---|---| | `cost-logger.js` | Capture engine. Silent, crash-proof. Writes the log files below. | | `statusline-wrapper.js` | Used when the user already has a statusline: logs cost, then delegates the payload to their original command and passes its output through untouched. | | `statusline-command.js` | Used when the user has no statusline: full display (model, context bar, cost, cache stats) that also logs. | | `turn-logger.js` | Stop hook: stamps turn boundaries so cost samples can later be grouped into turns for analytics. No cost data itself. | Log outputs (created lazily, no setup needed): - `~/.claude/cost-log.jsonl` — one row per session, exact cumulative totals (upserted). …

How to install
mdr add foyzulkarim/skills/setup-cost-tracking@sha256:a5f85f62aba27f7fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260724.cdb1a53, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
