What is Agent Usage Guard?
agent-usage-guard is a Claude Code mod: it runs inside Claude Code and holds runaway spend before it happens. It reads your plan's live usage, and it holds subagent fan-out, heavy-context churn and retry loops. It acts before the spend, not after it: before an agent starts, a prompt is sent, or a tool call runs. Agent limits hold across every Claude Code session on your machine, and fan-out and heavy context are capped at any usage level, not only near the limit.
From its README on GitHub
Agent Usage Guard (agent-usage-guard) is a launch on Show HN. It is written in TypeScript and released under the MIT license.
