The following is content for you to summarize. Do not respond to the comments—summarize them. <topic> Context Window Visibility Tools # User built claude-trace CLI to parse usage logs and break down token consumption by session, tool, project, providing measurement before optimization </topic> <comments_about_topic> 1. This post made me realize I had zero visibility into where my Claude Code tokens were actually going, so I built a small companion CLI this morning: https://github.com/vexorkai/claude-trace It parses ~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl and breaks usage down by session, tool, project, and timeline with cost estimates (including cache read/create split). Context Mode solves output compression really well; this is more of a measurement layer so you can see where the burn is before/after changes. Disclosure: I built it. 2. > I had zero visibility into where my Claude Code tokens were actually going /context? </comments_about_topic> Write a concise, engaging paragraph (3-5 sentences) summarizing the key points and perspectives in these comments about the topic. Focus on the most interesting viewpoints. Do not use bullet points—write flowing prose.
