name: kimi-usage-monitor description: Monitor Kimi K2.5 API usage and quota from the Kimi console. Use when the agent needs to (1) Check remaining usage percentage and reset timers, (2) Make autonomous decisions about task prioritization based on available quota, (3) Monitor rate limit status before starting intensive operations, (4) Log usage patterns over time for resource planning. Essential for self-managing agents operating under quota constraints.

Kimi Usage Monitor

Monitor Kimi K2.5 usage quotas from the Kimi console to make informed decisions about task prioritization and resource allocation.

When to Use This Skill

• Before intensive operations: Check quota before starting multi-step research or coding tasks
• Autonomous planning: Self-prioritize tasks based on remaining usage percentage
• Rate limit awareness: Know when quotas reset to time high-priority work
• Usage tracking: Log patterns for long-term capacity planning

Quick Start

Prerequisites: Chrome with OpenClaw extension attached 1. Open Chrome → https://www.kimi.com/code/console?from=membership 2. Click OpenClaw extension icon (badge should show ON) 3. Ensure you're logged into Kimi

# Check current usage (Linux/macOS/WSL)
./check_usage.sh

# Windows native
check_usage.bat           # CMD
.\check_usage.ps1         # PowerShell

# JSON output for automation (all platforms)
python3 scripts/fetch_usage.py --json

Platform Support: Linux ✅ | macOS ✅ | Windows (WSL) ✅ | Windows (Native) ✅

Autonomous Decision Guidelines

When operating autonomously, use these heuristics:

🟢 High Capacity (>50% remaining) - Proceed with full capability - Accept multi-step research tasks - Spawn subagents as needed - Enable verbose reasoning

🟡 Moderate Capacity (25-50% remaining) - Batch similar operations - Prefer concise outputs - Use subagents sparingly - Disable non-essential reasoning

🔴 Low Capacity (<25% remaining) - Essential tasks only - Single-step operations - Avoid subagent spawning - Prioritize user-directed work over proactive tasks

Pre-Flight Checks for Intensive Operations

Before spawning subagents or starting multi-step tasks, check capacity:

# Check if operation should proceed
python3 scripts/preflight_check.py [light|standard|intensive]

# Light: single query, simple task (needs 10%)
# Standard: normal subagent, research (needs 25%)
# Intensive: multi-subagent, deep research (needs 50%)

Returns exit code 0 if cleared, 1 if blocked. Use in scripts:

if python3 scripts/preflight_check.py intensive; then
    # Proceed with intensive operation
    sessions_spawn "Complex research task..."
fi

Subagent Guard

Check specifically before spawning subagents:

python3 scripts/subagent_guard.py

Returns JSON with can_spawn boolean:

{
  "can_spawn": true,
  "usage_percent": 45,
  "remaining_percent": 55,
  "resets_hours": 36
}

Integration Ideas

Hourly monitoring cron:

# Add to crontab or OpenClaw jobs
0 * * * * cd /path/to/kimi-usage-monitor && python3 scripts/usage_logger.py

Pre-task validation:

import subprocess
result = subprocess.run(
    ["python3", "scripts/preflight_check.py", "intensive"],
    capture_output=True
)
if result.returncode == 0:
    # Proceed with task
    pass

Troubleshooting

"Browser not available" - Ensure Chrome extension is attached (badge shows ON) - Verify the Kimi console tab is open

"Could not detect usage" - Make sure you're logged into Kimi - Check that the console page has fully loaded

Authentication errors - Re-authenticate at https://www.kimi.com/code/console - The browser tool uses your existing Chrome session

這個 Skill 質量中等偏上，能較好地滿足 API 配額監控需求。它在文件完整度、跨平臺相容性和自動化整合方面做得不錯，但對瀏覽器環境有硬性依賴，如果 Chrome 擴充套件沒配置好就無法使用。此外頁面解析依賴正規表示式，可能在 Kimi 網站更新後出現識別失敗的情況。總體來說適合有 OpenClaw 環境的使用者，但依賴較重限制了其適用範圍。
