Read your own agent telemetry from ClawMetry (waste, progress, cost) and act on it before finishing a task. Use when ClawMetry is installed on this machine and you want to check whether you are re-reading files, spinning in loops, or burning budget.

ClawMetry self-check

ClawMetry observes AI agent sessions on this machine (read-only). Use its
CLI to see your own telemetry and improve your behaviour mid-task.

All commands are read-only, exit 3 when ClawMetry has no data source
running (safe to skip silently), and support --json.

The 3-step check (run before finishing a task)

# 1. Re-read tax: files you paid to read more than once
clawmetry waste --since 6h --json

# 2. Spinning check: forward progress + loop signals
clawmetry progress --json

# 3. Spend check
clawmetry usage --json

How to act on what you find

Signal	Action
A file with `reads > 3` in `waste`	Stop re-reading it. Write its structure into your working notes once; use offset-ranged reads for big files.
High `ratio` (tokens per state-delta) in `progress`	You are burning tokens without producing new state. Write down what you tried, change strategy.
`loop_signals` non-empty	You repeated near-identical calls. Do not retry the same thing; diagnose instead.
Cost spike in `usage`	Check `usage --by model`: are you using a bigger model than the task needs?

Exit codes: 0 ok, 3 no data source (skip), 4 feature needs an upgrade
(stderr carries a JSON body with upgrade_url; surface it to your human).
