At a glance

Check current Claude usage limits (session and weekly) with ASCII progress bars.

  • The user asks about usage
  • Calls curl and claude
  • How much Claude theyve used

What it does

Claude Usage is an agent skill from MagicCube/agentara. Check current Claude usage limits (session and weekly) with ASCII progress bars. Trigger when the user asks about usage, quota, limits, rate limits, how much Claude they've used, remaining capacity, or phrases like "check usage", "usage status", "how much quota left", "am I close to the limit", "用量", "额度", "配额".

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Rate limiting. The repository describes itself as: Your 24/7 personal assistant powered by Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Multi-channel messaging, long-term memory, skills, task scheduling, session management, and more — all…

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about usage
  • How much Claude theyve used
  • Remaining capacity
  • Phrases like check usage

Example prompts

  • “ve used, remaining capacity, or phrases like”
  • “usage status”
  • “how much quota left”
  • “/claude-usage”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Fetch usage data
  2. Build ASCII progress bar
  3. Format reset time
  4. Output
  5. Rules

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5621a96. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • claude

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Claude Usage loads about 465 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 149 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~465

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 149 words (~465 tokens).

“Show the user their current Claude plan usage with ASCII progress bars.”
