Highlights

  • Daily limit = the busiest day in the previous seven complete days across supported tools, times two; the card shows percent left, reset at UTC+8.
  • Codex scores automatically once you trust its SessionStart and UserPromptSubmit hooks; other supported tools contribute local history statistics only.
  • Without hooks, python skills/headroom/scripts/headroom.py status estimates usage as today's messages times two; hook scores range from 0 to 10.
  • Local by default, with English and Chinese interfaces; viewing, refreshing and clip playback never spend points and 0 percent never blocks conversations.
  • Requires Python 3.10+ and readable local AI conversation history; the animated Windows tray card needs the Edge WebView2 Runtime.

Quickstart

bash
sh skills/headroom/hooks/install.sh --link-skill
python3 skills/headroom/scripts/headroom_dashboard.py --lang en

Watch out

Copy reviewed against the repo README on 2026-10-15. The README itself labels the meter for fun, not science - it measures neither intelligence, health nor fatigue, automated-task filtering is best-effort, and no accuracy or performance benchmarks are published.
