Hands-on walkthroughs that end with something shipped. No hand-waving, no pseudo-code. Every command is copy-paste runnable.
The built-in /cost shows one session and forgets it. Install the claude-code-cost plugin and see spend per project, per git branch, and broken down by day, week, and month. /claude-code-cost:report for the per-branch table; :by-day, :by-week, :by-month, and :by-project for the dated view. No binary, no account, no keys, priced point-in-time from local logs.
Output tokens cost five times input, and the thinking you never see bills at the output rate too. Six confirmed levers to cut a Claude bill: right-size the model, control thinking, keep context cacheable, cap the worst case, batch non-interactive work, and keep the most expensive model on the smallest context. Every lever ends with a command you can run.
Replace the default Claude Code status line with one that shows every project burning money today, sorted by burn. Add a /budget slash command for the full per-branch table. Run the watcher as a launchd agent so the data is always live. One curl install.
Anthropic does not ship a hard $/day cap. Set one in 5 minutes with BudgetClaw: per-project and per-branch attribution, SIGTERM on breach, optional phone push. Zero keys, zero prompts, zero latency added.
A reproducible walkthrough that ends with a working Conventional Commits plugin submitted to a marketplace. Scaffold the directory with Tsuba, validate the manifest with Hanko, and set a budget cap with BudgetClaw before the first keystroke.
Next tutorials in the queue will cover Claude Code hook authoring, MCP server basics, and publishing a skill to multiple marketplaces at once. If there is a specific walkthrough you want, open an issue on GitHub.
