Internal SmartGift build of a Claude Code monitoring dashboard. Lanes: a durable unit of parallel agent work, one per working directory, tracked across session restarts. Managed lanes are git worktrees the dashboard provisions and can reset or remove behind a three-check destroy guard and a counted preflight; adopted lanes are directories you already own and are never destroyable. Pipelines: a lane moves through pipeline stages. A stage the agent declares with evidence renders green; a stage inferred from the tool-event stream renders dashed amber and never counts as done. Detection is forward-only within a 30-minute window, and never writes the declared stage. Workspace: one page at /run with a lane grid, the selected lane's pipeline, and a full Claude console behind a disclosure.

| Forecast Claude Code spend to the end of the week or month from the daily session trend on the Agent Monitor dashboard — moving average of daily spend × days remaining, added to spend-to-date. Uses /api/analytics daily_sessions, /api/pricing/cost, and /api/sessions for a per-day cost curve. Use when projecting cost or asking "where will my spend land". |
Spend Forecast
Project where Claude Code spend will end up by the close of the current week or month.
Input
The user provides: $ARGUMENTS
This is the forecast horizon — "week", "month", or a specific date. Default to
month (calendar month-end) when nothing is given, and state the horizon you used.
Data Sources
| Endpoint | Returns |
|---|---|
GET /api/analytics |
{ total_cost, tokens (effective totals, baselines pre-summed), daily_sessions (365d: [{ date, count }]), daily_events, overview, ... } — daily_sessions is the trend the forecast extrapolates |
GET /api/pricing/cost |
{ total_cost, breakdown: [{ model, input_tokens, output_tokens, cache_read_tokens, cache_write_tokens, cost, matched_rule }] } — authoritative spend-to-date and avg cost-per-session input |
GET /api/sessions?limit=200 |
Session list with inline cost and started_at — group by day for a sharper daily-spend curve than the count-based approximation |
Forecast method
Spend has no native per-day field, so build a daily-spend series and extrapolate:
- Spend-to-date =
total_costfrom/api/pricing/cost. - Avg cost per session =
total_cost / total_session_count. - Daily spend series: for the trailing window,
daily_spend[d] ≈ daily_sessions[d].count × avg_cost_per_session. For a sharper curve, instead sum inline sessioncostgrouped byDATE(started_at). - Moving average:
avg_daily_spend = mean(daily_spend over the trailing 7 days). Also compute a 14-day average to gauge whether the trend is accelerating (▲) or cooling (▼). - Remaining days: days left until the end of the chosen horizon (week = through Sunday; month = through the last calendar day).
- Projection:
projected_total = spend_to_date_this_period + (avg_daily_spend × days_remaining).
Spend-to-date this period: when the trend covers more than the current period, restrict the spend-to-date term to sessions whose
started_atfalls inside the current week/month so the projection isn't inflated by older spend.
Report Sections
1. Spend to date
total_cost, session count, avg cost/session, and how much falls inside the current period.
2. Daily trend
The 7-day and 14-day moving averages of daily spend, with a ▲/▼ accelerating-vs-cooling read. Show the last 7 days as a compact table (date, sessions, est. spend).
3. Projection
avg_daily_spend × days_remaining and the resulting projected_total for the horizon. State the days-remaining count explicitly.
4. Budget check (if a budget is known)
If the user mentions a budget, show projected vs. budget, the over/under delta, and the date the budget is projected to be crossed (days_to_budget = (budget − spend_to_date) / avg_daily_spend).
5. Confidence & caveats
Note that the forecast assumes the recent daily pace holds, that daily spend is approximated from session counts unless an inline-cost curve was used, and call out any low-data horizons (e.g. fewer than 7 active days).
Output
Markdown with the trend table and the projection. Currency as USD to 4 decimal places; show moving averages and the projected total prominently. Deltas with ▲/▼.
