A headless agent can't glance at a statusline. Claude enforces a 5-hour cap and a 7-day cap; /usage only shows the 5-hour one. maxx gives any agent one call to answer "how much can I safely spend right now" — no human watching.
Any agent with this URL checks its own budget before it burns it — no human in the loop.

|---|---|
| maxx_budget | Read live pacing: verdict (ok / over / calibrating…), how much of this 5h block is spent vs. advised, whether you're on pace for the week. |
| maxx_emit | Report this session's usage back to the tally — the only way a direct-API server (not the Claude Code CLI) becomes visible. |
| maxx_reserve / maxx_release | Hold a slice of budget before fanning out concurrent agents, release it when done. |
| maxx_directive | Pause, resume, or nudge a live session to /clear — fleet-wide remote control. |
maxx counts, Anthropic limits. Nothing here can deny a call — only Anthropic's own windows do that. verdict: "over" means Anthropic's real wall is up, not a number maxx invented.

Want the same numbers as a live statusline in your terminal, plus a /maxx skill?
Restart Claude Code. /maxx shows totals; /maxx session shows what's safe to spend right now.
Stays current on its own — checks in every 30 minutes and reinstalls itself when a new version ships. Nothing to remember.
Local by default — nothing leaves your machine until you claim a handle. After that: counts only (tokens, timestamps, model names). Never a prompt, never your code — the emitter never reads it.
