I like this a lot An interesting next iteration would be to add a functionality that evaluates a user's work for inefficiencies and suggests where they can improve cut cost. Might be outside the scope of your project, but it could be interesting.

Just like Claude Code btw.
I'm working on a custom harness because I don't like or trust some of the ones out there, so I'm going to build one purely for myself and my own needs to see just how they work, and figure out some of what you've learned by looking at how Claude works, so I might add your project to my list of tooling to look at.
The $200/month plan throttles you when you hit limits - you just wait in a queue. API usage at $1400/week means unthrottled, parallel execution with no waiting. These are very different use cases, and for teams or heavy automation workflows the API cost can make sense if the time savings justify it.
you are right. thats cursor-agent (the CLI), not the Cursor IDE. CodeBurn only parses the IDE's state.vscdb right now. cursor agent keeps transcripts under ~/.cursor/projects/*/agent-transcripts/ which we dont read yet.
Made something similar a while back: https://www.clauderank.com/ Completely open source

already on that probably in an hour it will be published. will let you know once it does.

yeah Ink, it was the fastest path to something that felt native next to Claude Code itself
Very cool! I saw a similar product recently that I liked but I much prefer your approach to theirs[1]

"Built this after realizing I was spending ~$1400/week on Claude Code with almost no visibility into what was actually consuming tokens."
holy slop. the $200/month plan has NEVER hit rate limits for me and I often run 5+ tabs of concurrent agents in a large 300k LoC codebase

not $1,400 out of pocket, thats the API equivalent cost of the tokens. I am on the $200/month Max plan :D.
In my case I mostly consume every bit of the weekly subscription.
Doesn't seem to work with Cursor Agent (which may store its data in ~/.cursor).

filed an issue to add it: https://github.com/AgentSeal/codeburn/issues/55
cursor support only landed yesterday, so CLI is next. thanks for catching it.
Cursor Agent itself suggests that this probably won't be easy as some of the data is missing.
