# Cost Tracking

Use this skill to analyze Claude Code cost and usage history from the metrics log
that ECC's `stop:cost-tracker` hook writes.

## Where the data lives

The tracker appends one JSON object per session-stop to
`~/.claude/metrics/costs.jsonl`. Each row is a **cumulative snapshot for that
session**, so to total spend you take the **latest row per `session_id`** and
sum across sessions — summing every row multiply-counts.

ECC also maintains internal per-session files under
`~/.claude/metrics/cost-snapshots/` so runtime hooks can read the current
