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.
