What it does

Tt Sidebar is an agent skill from stormzhang/token-tracker. Open a live Token Tracker sidebar for only the current Kimi Code session in a right-side terminal split at one-third width. Use when the user explicitly invokes /skill:tt-sidebar or asks to monitor the current session beside its terminal pane.

Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Kimi and Python. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code & Codex 本地 token 追踪 — 状态栏(Codex 业界首创伪 statusline)、GitHub 风格热力图、多模型成本分析。 | Local token tracker for Claude Code & Codex — status line (industry-first Codex faux…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user explicitly invokes /skill:tt-sidebar
  • Asks to monitor the current session beside its terminal pane

Example prompts

  • “/tt-sidebar”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ac54f9. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Tt Sidebar loads about 280 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 113 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~280

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.

TT Sidebar

<!-- token-tracker-managed -->

Run the installed launcher exactly once:

bash
__TT_SIDEBAR_COMMAND__

The launcher splits tmux, iTerm2, or Ghostty (macOS, ≥ 1.3.0) to open the sidebar pane, so it needs permission to control the terminal. If the runtime asks for approval, approve this exact command only; never approve Python generally.

Return the launcher's output directly. Do not run regular tt sidebar, inject a command into a transient shell, or open another sidebar in the current pane. If the launcher fails, report only its concise stage error.

The launcher must keep the source pane focused and open a right-side pane at one-third width. The split view is current-session-only and is intentionally independent from the regular all-session tt sidebar layout.
