⚡ Quota — Real-Time AI Token & Commercial Cost Intelligence

Quota is an enterprise-grade AI observability and cost governance platform designed specifically for Google Antigravity IDE and VS Code. It provides real-time telemetry, continuous spend analytics, and token auditing across all inbuilt and external models (Gemini Flash/Pro, Claude Sonnet/Opus) with zero external API keys required.

✨ Key Capabilities

1. Real-Time Status Bar Intelligence

• Live, dynamic status bar item in your editor footer: ✨ 18.0M Tokens | $1.94.
• Instant Scope Switcher: Click to toggle between:
  • Active Session: Real-time token consumption of your current AI pairing chat.
  • Current Workspace: Cumulative consumption and costs for the open repository.
  • Lifetime Total: Global historical volume across all projects.
• Interactive Quick Actions Menu with 1-click ledger CSV export and markdown report generator.

2. Full Visual Cockpit

• Hero KPI Strip:
  • Total Processed Volume with Prompt Cache Hit ratio (e.g. 6.47B Tokens (99.9% Cache Hit)).
  • Standard Commercial Valuation: True retail equivalent cost if each turn were billed statelessly.
  • Prompt-Cached Real Cost: Actual cost with Gemini/Anthropic prompt caching discounts applied.
  • Autonomous Invocations: Total AI turns, sessions, and workspaces tracked.
• Continuous 30-Day Activity & Inference Timeline:
  • Smooth Catmull-Rom cubic spline area curve with glowing neon gradient fill.
  • Slim column bars with interactive hover crosshairs and tooltips.
  • Filter by range (14D, 30D, All History) and metric (Commercial Cost ($), Token Volume, Invocations).
• Token Distribution Layer: Segmented visual breakdown of Prompt Cache, Fresh Ingestion, Model Output, Chain-of-Thought Thinking, and Tool Calls.
• Provider & Model Matrix: Telemetry across Gemini 3.5/3.6/3.7/3.8 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Claude Opus 4.6.
• Autonomous Tool Consumption: Telemetry for terminal commands (run_command), file modifications (write_to_file, replace_file_content), and file reads (view_file).

3. Slide-Over Trace Inspector & Context Compounding

• Click any chat row in the Conversation Ledger to slide open a dedicated trace inspector.
• View turn-by-turn hockey-stick context growth curves.
• Automatic anomaly tagging: Deep Session (90+ turns), Heavy File Reads, Intensive Terminal Use.

4. Disaster Recovery & Update Survivability

• Backed by a dedicated SQLite Persistent Ledger stored outside the ephemeral extension directory in ~/.config/quota/persistent_ledger.sqlite.
• Zero Data Loss on Updates: Extension updates and complete IDE reinstalls preserve 100% of your historical token history.
• Automatic redundant JSON snapshot mirroring.

🔒 Privacy & Security Architecture

Quota was engineered from the ground up to comply with strict enterprise security standards:

• 100% Local & Offline: Zero external network calls. All charts, icons, and fonts are embedded locally with zero remote CDN dependencies.
• Zero Content Retention: Quota never reads, copies, or stores raw source code, proprietary algorithms, or user prompts. Only anonymous numerical counters (token quantities and costs) are retained.
• Zero Shell Injection: All process executions use strict child_process.execFile with isolated argument arrays. Subshell invocation (/bin/sh or cmd.exe) is completely eliminated.
• Strict Content Security Policy (CSP): The visual cockpit operates under an explicit Content-Security-Policy prohibiting any external script or stylesheet injection.
• Safe Database Concurrency: SQLite runs with Write-Ahead Logging (WAL mode) and busy timeouts to prevent database locks across multiple concurrent windows.

⚙️ Extension Settings

Quota works automatically out-of-the-box with zero configuration. For advanced setups, customize via VS Code Settings (Cmd + , or Ctrl + ,):

🚀 Quick Actions

Press Cmd + Shift + P (or Ctrl + Shift + P) and search for:

• Quota: Open Quota Dashboard: Opens the visual analytics cockpit.
• Quota: Open Quota Quick Actions: Opens the QuickPick command center.
• Quota: Refresh Quota Data: Immediately triggers an updated log scan.
• Quota: Show Quota Summary: Displays a quick notification card of your token consumption.
