Tokscale

A opencode TUI sidebar plugin for tokscale. Shows token usage and costs for today, this week, and this month.

Tokscale
Today        1.2M    $3.45
This Week    5.6M   $12.34
This Month  12.3M   $45.67

Install

Paste this into your LLM agent (Claude Code, opencode, Cursor, etc.):

Install and configure opencode-tokscale by following the instructions here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stevejkang/opencode-tokscale/refs/heads/main/docs/installation.md

Prerequisites

tokscale must be installed:

npm i -g @tokscale/cli

If tokscale isn't found, the plugin shows an install prompt instead of stats.

Setup

One config file. Restart. Done.

~/.config/opencode/tui.json

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
  "plugin": [["opencode-tokscale", { "enabled": true }]]
}

opencode resolves the npm package on startup automatically.

Options

{
  "plugin": [["opencode-tokscale", {
    "enabled": true,
    "refreshInterval": 60,
    "showOpenCodeOnly": true,
    "tokenColor": "#FF5733",
    "costColor": "#AAAAAA",
    "labelColor": "#FFFFFF"
  }]]
}

Option	Default	Description
refreshInterval	60	Seconds between data refreshes
showOpenCodeOnly	true	Show only opencode usage. Set false for all clients. Automatically uses -c opencode on tokscale v4+ or --opencode on v3
tokenColor	#0073FF	Color of the "Tokscale" title and token count values
costColor	theme muted	Color of cost values (e.g., $0.00) and placeholder states (..., err, —)
labelColor	theme primary	Color of time period labels (e.g., "Today", "This Week")

How It Works

Shells out to tokscale models --json with --today, --week, and --month flags. Parses the JSON. Renders totals in the sidebar. Detects the installed tokscale version at startup and uses the matching client filter flag (-c opencode on v4+, --opencode on v3).

setInterval(60s) → tokscale models --json --today -c opencode --no-spinner → parse → render
                 → tokscale models --json --week  -c opencode --no-spinner → parse → render
                 → tokscale models --json --month -c opencode --no-spinner → parse → render

Three parallel CLI calls per refresh. tokscale processes in ~175ms thanks to its Rust core, so the sidebar stays snappy.

Features

	What	Why it matters
⏱	Auto-refresh	Configurable interval, default 60 seconds
🛡	Graceful fallback	No tokscale? Shows install instructions instead of crashing

Requirements

• opencode with plugin support (@opencode-ai/plugin >= 1.4.3)
• tokscale CLI installed and in PATH

Manual Install

Skip npm. Copy the source files directly:

mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/plugins/opencode-tokscale
cp src/tui.tsx src/tokscale.ts src/format.ts src/types.ts \
  ~/.config/opencode/plugins/opencode-tokscale/

Register the local path:

{
  "plugin": [["./plugins/opencode-tokscale/tui.tsx", { "enabled": true }]]
}

Development

git clone https://github.com/stevejkang/opencode-tokscale.git
cd opencode-tokscale
bun install

Run tests:

bun run test

Edit, restart opencode, see changes live.
