Runs OpenAI's Codex coding agent locally on your computer from the command line.
Xerg CLI
xerg · Agent
Xerg reads the evidence that agent runtimes leave behind and reports where the money went. It covers OpenClaw, Hermes, QM, Claude Code and Cursor, and any framework that can export a JSON event payload. An audit shows spend by workflow and model, whether costs are observed or estimated, wasted-spend findings and a before and after comparison on re-audit. The costs are not a reconciliation of provider invoices. A skill file is included for agent platforms that import skills from disk.

Why it's useful
You see which workflows, models and loops are costing money for no result, with recommendations on where to change them.
What you could do with it
- Run an audit and compare it with an earlier one to see whether the waste you fixed has gone down.
- Audit a Cursor usage CSV to see weekly allocation and observed on-demand charges.
- Record whether a workflow run succeeded, then see the cost per successful run and spend on failed runs.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
- Licence and provenance
- finding
- no LICENCE file at the root (.)
Published because it was found. A finding is information about where the limits are, not a verdict that the software is unsafe.
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.
Receipt history: every signed receipt for every version of this listing, and what changed between them.
In its maker's words
Find wasted AI spend in OpenClaw, Hermes, QM, Claude Code, and Cursor — plus any framework via event ingest.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.35.5, the file with digest sha512-VEkUvKGHwSivGYPqQQAL6v+fo8RSvCEkbi6LIqiwV947ZdJ8CdsASRxZ3zKc5Nywze5K39CrCbSYGJ9SN06Lbg==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:
npx -y @xerg/cli@0.35.5Pinned to 0.35.5, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
