 "summary": "See an estimated OpenAI balance, today's spend and the last call without leaving Claude Code.",
 "who": "A developer who pays for OpenAI API usage and wants to watch credit drain while working with Claude Code.",
 "problem": "API credit can run down unnoticed, and it is not clear which model or call used most of the money.",
 "outcome": "A balance gauge, today's spend, the model that took most of the money and the last call appear in a band above the prompt.",
 "steps": [
  "Get an OpenAI organization Admin key, which the README says this mod requires.",
  "Run `npx claude-code-mods@latest`, tick openai-balance in the checklist, and press Enter.",
  "Restart Claude Code.",
  "Type `/openai-balance` to open the balance view.",
  "Check that the estimated balance, today's spend and the last call match your OpenAI usage page."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the hamzafer/claude-code-mods repo, install the openai-balance mod using an OpenAI organization Admin key kept in <secret-store>. Run /openai-balance in Claude Code and expect an estimated balance with a gauge and today's spend; verify the figures roughly match the OpenAI dashboard.",
