Tare is a tool that helps you understand your Claude Code usage by analyzing session logs stored locally on your machine. It answers questions like why you hit usage limits or why your quota is draining faster than expected. The tool reads the logs Claude Code already keeps, so no additional data is collected or sent anywhere.

You can install Tare with a single command: `npx skills add kelviq/tare -g -y --copy --agent claude-code`. No accounts or packages are needed. Once installed, you can ask questions in plain English, such as "Why did I hit my usage limit yesterday?" or "What's the most expensive file Claude keeps re-reading?"

Tare provides clear answers, not just raw numbers. For example, it can tell you that 99% of yesterday's usage came from a tool, or that 1,553 short sessions were spawned in your website project. It also offers commands like `/tare usage` for an at-a-glance panel, `/tare report` to generate an HTML report, and `/tare share` to create a redacted summary.

The tool is designed to be simple and direct, helping you diagnose issues before starting big tasks. It can check if your 5-hour window is full, identify background activities, and compare usage week over week. Tare turns your local logs into actionable insights, making it easier to manage your Claude Code consumption.
