ccstats

A command-line tool to analyze Claude Code usage statistics from local JSONL files.

Overview

ccstats parses Claude Code API usage data from ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl files and provides detailed usage reports including:

• Token usage (input, output, cache)
• Cost analysis in USD
• Daily and session-based aggregation
• Date range filtering
• JSON output for programmatic access

Installation

Using Go

go install github.com/dotcommander/ccstats@latest

From Source

git clone https://github.com/dotcommander/ccstats.git
cd ccstats
go build -o ccstats

Usage

Options

• --path <dir> - Custom path to Claude projects directory (default: ~/.claude/projects)
• --json - Output in JSON format instead of table
• --since YYYYMMDD - Filter records since this date
• --until YYYYMMDD - Filter records until this date

Examples

# Show daily usage for the current month
ccstats daily --since 20250501

# Get session report in JSON format
ccstats session --json

# Analyze specific date range
ccstats daily --since 20250101 --until 20250131

# Use custom data path
ccstats session --path /custom/path/to/.claude/projects

# Redirect errors to see clean output
ccstats daily 2>/dev/null

Data Source

The tool reads JSONL files from Claude Code projects with the following structure:

~/.claude/projects/{project}/{session}/*.jsonl

Each JSONL file contains entries with:

• Timestamp
• Token usage (input, output, cache creation, cache read)
• Cost in USD
• Message type and metadata

Output Formats

Table Format (Default)

Human-readable tables with:

• Aligned columns
• Summary totals
• Cost in USD with 4 decimal precision
• Local timezone for timestamps

JSON Format

Structured JSON output for integration with other tools:

[
  {
    "Date": "2025-05-20",
    "InputTokens": 7273,
    "OutputTokens": 817666,
    "CacheCreateTokens": 7073572,
    "CacheReadTokens": 267845636,
    "TotalTokens": 275744147,
    "TotalCost": 119.1664
  }
]

Cost Calculation

The tool uses the pre-calculated costs from Claude's API (costUSD field in JSONL), which already accounts for:

• Different model pricing (Opus 4, Sonnet 3.5, Haiku, etc.)
• Cache read discount (10% of normal input token price)
• Cache creation costs (25% of normal input token price)
• Standard input/output token rates per model

This ensures accurate cost reporting regardless of which Claude model was used.

Features

• Fast Performance: Streams files line-by-line to minimize memory usage
• Large File Support: Handles JSONL lines up to 10MB
• Error Resilience: Continues processing when encountering malformed data
• Cross-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows
• Zero Dependencies: Only requires Go standard library and Cobra for CLI
