🌏 cclorax

⚡️ Monitor the environmental impact of your Claude Code sessions

Prerequisites

• Claude Code
• ccstatusline

Install

1. Run npx -y ccstatusline@latest
2. Add a Custom Command widget
3. Set the command to npx -y cclorax@latest

How it works

On every ccstatusline update, cclorax reads the conversation transcript, sums token usage across every turn, and converts that into a running Wh (watt-hour) estimate according to the following conversions. Numbers may fluctuate due to background subagent/hooks/sessions still running.

| Token type | Wh/MTok | | ----------- | ------- | | Input | 390 | | Output | 1950 | | Cache read | 39 | | Cache write | 490 |

Motivation

There's a lot of talk right now about "tokenmaxxing" and unlimited AI spend. Throwing more tokens at every problem because context is cheap, models are fast, and somehow a measure of employee performance. But tokens aren't free. Every one of them runs through a data center pulling real power and creating a carbon footprint. cclorax makes that metric visible to developers, so you can see how an individual coding session adds up.

Future Work

• view/visualize consumption
• change conversions based on selected model/effort
• footprint API?
