LLM Usage Metrics

cline Source

Default location

Section titled “Default location”
  • VS Code global storage for extension saoudrizwan.claude-dev: User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/tasks/*/ui_messages.json
  • Remote VS Code server storage: ~/.vscode-server/data/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/tasks/*/ui_messages.json

Override

Section titled “Override”
Terminal window
llm-usage daily --source cline --cline-dir /path/to/cline/tasks

cline is directory-backed, so generic source directory overrides also work:

Terminal window
llm-usage daily --source-dir cline=/path/to/cline/tasks

Parsing notes

Section titled “Parsing notes”

The adapter reads task ui_messages.json arrays and counts say: "api_req_started" entries. The nested JSON payload maps tokensIn, tokensOut, cacheReads, cacheWrites, and positive cost values into normalized usage. Model names are read from the sibling api_conversation_history.json file.
