SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Display a compact, reliable token usage report across subagents to help engineers understand session resource consumption at a glance and optimize workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-subagent token breakdown with health status and duration to pinpoint inefficiencies.
  • Threshold-based analysis and actionable recommendations for context management.
  • Quick health checks during active sessions and post-task retrospectives to guide decomposition decisions.
  • Use Case: Monitor long-running orchestrations to identify high-cost subagents and reallocate work.

Quick Start

Run the token-report command to view the current session's token usage report. If a pre-computed report is available, results will be displayed exactly as provided; otherwise a deterministic table will be generated for immediate analysis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor subagent token usage during an active AI session?▼

To monitor subagent token usage, run a token-report command to display a deterministic table showing per-subagent tokens, context usage, health status, and duration for the current session.

What is the best way to check context utilization for AI subagents?▼

Checking context utilization for AI subagents involves generating a detailed token usage report that provides threshold-based analysis and actionable recommendations for context management.

How do I track per-subagent token breakdowns for post-task retrospectives?▼

Tracking per-subagent token breakdowns for retrospectives requires generating a token usage report that highlights resource consumption, health status, and duration to pinpoint inefficiencies.

Can I use a pre-computed token usage report instead of generating a new one?▼

You can use a pre-computed token usage report by providing it to the system; if available, the results will be displayed exactly as provided without computing a new deterministic table.

When should I decompose tasks to optimize subagent context management?▼

You should decompose tasks to optimize subagent context management when a token usage report identifies high-cost subagents or indicates context utilization thresholds have been exceeded.

Does token-report require any external dependencies to analyze session health?▼

Token-report requires no external dependencies to analyze session health, operating without any listed components to compute deterministic token usage tables on demand.
