Developer ships open-source optimAIzr to track and cut Claude Code token waste; ~15% of 1.25B analyzed tokens flagged optimizable
A developer built and open-sourced optimAIzr, a fully local tool that analyzes Claude Code and Codex sessions to surface wasted token spend, such as oversized context, model mismatches, and error loops. The author analyzed ~1.25B tokens of their own sessions and found ~15% potentially optimizable. The tool has reached 2k+ npm downloads and now offers live recommendations inside Claude Code, with a hosted dashboard planned.

optimAIzr — open-source tool that flags wasted Claude Code/Codex usage from cache misses and context re-reading
optimAIzr is an open-source AI usage optimizer for Claude Code and Codex. It analyzes logs to find cost wasted on re-reading existing context and warns in real time when a prompt cache is about to expire. It targets developers running long AI coding sessions who pay API prices for redundant context re-reads.

claude-finops: local cost dashboard for Claude Code sessions
claude-finops is an npx-runnable CLI that reads Claude Code's local session transcripts (token counts, models, timestamps, tool calls) and computes what each session cost. It builds a local SQLite warehouse and serves a dashboard showing spend per project, waste detection, model-switch savings, and budget forecasts, entirely on-machine.

optimAIzr: local AI usage analyzer that finds token waste and cost savings
optimAIzr is a CLI tool that analyzes a developer's AI usage, identifies wasted tokens, and recommends ways to save tokens and money. It runs entirely locally, so usage data never leaves the machine. It targets developers spending on LLM APIs who want to reduce costs. Planned features include live recommendations.

Dev open-sources Token Harness, a local tool that cuts Claude Code / Codex token waste via optimizers and model routing
A developer open-sourced Token Harness, a local tool (Apache 2.0) that reduces token consumption by Claude Code and Codex agents. It installs optimizers that trim tool output, lazy-loads MCP tool definitions, and routes subtasks to cheaper models. The author reports 62.5% less tool output overall and 88.4% on Claude Code alone.
