A panicking token pet
Key point
Someone built a local virtual pet that shows token usage in the Claude Code status line.
Details
tokburn is a local extension that reads the Claude Code status line (stdin) to show session/weekly 5h·7d rate limits and reset countdowns, context usage, token in/out, and lines written.
The core is a pixel art pet called Tokemon that reacts to your status. When usage exceeds 85%, it switches to panic mode with X eyes, and it offers 3 starters (Flint / Pixel / Mochi), 152 quips, and 3-stage evolution.
Installation is simple:
npm i -g tokburntokburn init
It works with no proxy, no env vars, no cloud, and no telemetry, and rendering is claimed to take under 5ms.
