Summary

Implements the burn limits command to track Claude API quota usage across all windows.

Features

  • burn limits - One-shot snapshot of all quota windows
  • burn limits --watch [5s] - Real-time monitoring with configurable refresh interval
  • burn limits --json - Programmatic JSON output

Implementation Details

  • Reads OAuth token from ~/.claude/state.json
  • Calls GET https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage endpoint
  • Displays usage percentage and reset countdown for each window:
    • 5-hour window
    • 7-day window
    • 7-day Opus window
    • Extra quota

Testing

  • Tested with live Claude API
  • Verified token extraction from state.json
  • Confirmed watch mode refresh works correctly

Closes #5

Pull request overview

Adds a new burn limits subcommand to the CLI to display Claude quota-window usage (with optional watch mode and JSON output), aligning with Issue #5’s “quota-window tracking” MVP for Claude.

Changes:

  • Introduces packages/cli/src/commands/limits.ts implementing token lookup from Claude Code state and calling Anthropic’s OAuth usage endpoint.
  • Adds burn limits routing and help text to the main CLI dispatcher.

export async function runLimits(args: ParsedArgs): Promise<number> {
if (args.flags['help'] || args.flags['h']) {
- Implements burn limits command with TTY table and JSON output
- Adds 60s API response caching to avoid rate limiting
- Fixes exit code 2 for token/usage errors per acceptance criteria
- Adds --watch/--json mutual exclusion with clear error message
- Extends formatDuration to show days for 7-day windows
- Removes unused -h short flag check (parseArgs only supports --long)
- Removes unused PlanInfo interface and related code
- Adds comprehensive unit tests for token handling, output formatting, and flag validation

Closes AgentWorkforce#5

Thanks for the detailed review! All 8 issues have been addressed:

  1. ✅ Fixed exit code 2 for token errors (was silent failure)
  2. ✅ Watch mode errors now return non-zero exit code
  3. ✅ Added 60s API response caching to reduce rate limits
  4. ✅ --watch and --json are now mutually exclusive (prevents ANSI pollution)
  5. ✅ Removed unused PlanInfo interface and related dead code
  6. ✅ Added comprehensive unit tests (limits.test.ts) covering:
    • Token missing/invalid scenarios
    • JSON vs table output
    • Flag validation (--watch + --json rejection)
    • Help output
  7. ✅ formatDuration shows "Xd Xh" for 7-day windows (was truncating to hours)
  8. ✅ Removed -h short flag check (help text only shows --help)

All changes squashed into commit af3d5c1. The implementation aligns with Issue #5 MVP requirements for quota-window tracking. Ready for merge! 🚀
