dsh-token-cost

English | 中文

Token cost tracking plugin for DeepSeek Harness.

• Per-session cost shown in the session header: 💰 ¥1.48 (hover tooltip notes it is an estimate and the official bill wins)
• Per-message cost on every assistant message's action row, revealed on hover together with the run-time stats line
• Settings → Token cost: cross-session totals with a per-model breakdown
• Prices priced per-million-token from official DeepSeek prices, synced automatically by a daily script

Installation

One command (recommended — no pnpm required)

npx dsh-token-cost setup

This installs the plugin into your web profile (enabling pnpm through corepack when missing), appends the cordis.patch.yml row, and creates the prices directory. Re-running is safe (idempotent).

For another profile (e.g. tui):

npx dsh-token-cost setup --profile tui

Via dsh (requires pnpm)

# in your dsh profile directory (e.g. ~/.dsh/profiles/web)
cd ~/.dsh/profiles/web
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-token-cost

Then add to your profile's cordis.patch.yml:

- insert:
    - id: token-cost
      name: 'dsh-token-cost'
      config:
        currency: CNY

Restart dsh web and hard-refresh the browser.

Price updates

Only two price sources, both plain JSON files under ~/.dsh/prices/ (or $DSH_HOME/prices/):

File	Who maintains it	Priority
official-prices.json	The daily script — do not hand-edit	lower
local-prices.json	You — optional overrides	higher

Effective price per model: local-prices.json > official-prices.json > built-in defaults. Restart dsh web after a change (the projection replays the log with the new prices).

Daily automatic sync (recommended)

The dsh-token-cost-update script fetches DeepSeek's official pricing page, parses the current prices, and rewrites official-prices.json:

# one-time run
npx dsh-token-cost-update

# or via the installed binary
dsh-token-cost-update

Run it once a day via Windows Task Scheduler:

$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute (Get-Command node).Source -Argument "`"$(npm root -g)/dsh-token-cost/update-prices.mjs`""
$trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At '09:30'
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName 'DSH-TokenCost-UpdatePrices' -Action $action -Trigger $trigger -Force

The script is safe to run at any time: on any fetch/parse failure it exits non-zero without touching the existing file, so a transient network problem never destroys the last good price table. It prints prices changed: true/false so you can detect official price movements in a log.

Manual local overrides

Create ~/.dsh/prices/local-prices.json:

{
  "prices": {
    "deepseek-v4-flash": { "inputPerM": 1.5, "outputPerM": 3, "cacheReadPerM": 0.03 }
  }
}

The shape is { "prices": { "": { "inputPerM", "outputPerM", "cacheReadPerM?", "cacheWritePerM?" } } }. Unknown models price at zero and still accumulate token counts.

How it works

• A host projection unit (tokenCost) folds the durable session log: request/header events track the route (provider/model), assistant/message usage is priced per model, and per-message costs are recorded keyed by message id.
• The projection rides the standard session-projection seam (registry snapshot, change feed, session.list baselines), so the browser renders everything with zero extra RPCs.
• Built-in defaults keep the plugin usable with no configuration; DeepSeek's current official prices (as of 2026-08) are included.
