before the World Cup - I turned AI consumption into CM/FM style badges

Reddit r/AI_Agents Tools

Summary

A developer built Token Badge, a lightweight tool that reads local token usage from Codex or Claude Code and maps consumption into soccer-style tier badges, turning AI usage metrics into a fun, gamified experience.

I'm recently exploring ideas to build fun projects - not necessarily useful though (enough useful but boring ones for work), but should be extremely lightweight and fun. Really love to hear what folks are building for fun and here's one of my recent takes: I made a very small thing mostly because I was curious about my own AI coding token consumption. The idea started when I saw that enterprise Codex users could inspect usage through codex-insight or similar commands. That made me wonder: what would the fun regular version look like for people using Codex or Claude Code especially on subscriptions? So I made Token Badge (link in comments): It reads local \`ccusage\` totals for Codex or Claude Code, records minimal metadata, and maps total token consumption into soccer-style tiers: \- 100M+ tokens: Hot AI Prospect \- 1B+ tokens: Wonder AI Kid \- 10B+ tokens: Key AI Player \- 100B+ tokens: World-Class AI Player I also added the percentile ranking (but will only take effect once there's enough base data) The soccer theme is personal. Children’s Day (6/1 in many countries), Champions League season, World Cup coming up, and old memories of CM4 / CM 03-04 all landed in the same place. I wanted the badge to feel less like a dashboard metric and more like checking whether your AI-agent habit has turned you into a “wonderkid” :) Happy to take feedback to make it more fun. Happy building!
