# `rtk cc-economics` Implementation Summary

## Overview

Successfully implemented `rtk cc-economics` command combining ccusage (spending) and rtk (savings) data for comprehensive economic impact analysis.

## Implementation Details

### Files Created

1. **`src/ccusage.rs`** (184 lines)
- Isolated interface to ccusage CLI
- Types: `CcusageMetrics`, `CcusagePeriod`, `Granularity`
- API: `fetch(Granularity)`, `is_available()`
- Graceful degradation when ccusage unavailable
- 7 unit tests

2. **`src/cc_economics.rs`** (769 lines)
- Business logic for merge, compute, display, export
- `PeriodEconomics` struct with dual metrics
- Merge functions with HashMap O(n+m) complexity
- Support for daily/weekly/monthly granularity
- Text, JSON, CSV export formats
- 10 unit tests

3. **Modified: `src/utils.rs`**
- Extracted `format_tokens()` from gain.rs
- Added `format_usd()` for money formatting
- 8 new unit tests

4. **Modified: `src/gain.rs`**
- Refactored to use `utils::format_tokens()`
- No behavioral changes

5. **Modified: `src/main.rs`**
- Added `CcEconomics` command variant
- Wired command to `cc_economics::run()`

### Architecture

```
main.rs
└─ CcEconomics { daily, weekly, monthly, all, format }
└─ cc_economics::run()
├─ ccusage::fetch(Granularity::Monthly) // External data
├─ Tracker::new()?.get_by_month() // Internal data
├─ merge_monthly(cc, rtk) // HashMap merge
├─ compute_totals(periods) // Aggregate metrics
└─ display / export // Output formatting
```

### Key Features

#### Dual Metric System

**Active CPT**: `cost / (input_tokens + output_tokens)`
- Most representative for RTK savings
- Reflects actual input token cost
- Used for primary savings estimate

**Blended CPT**: `cost / total_tokens` (including cache)
- Diluted by cheap cache reads
- Shown for completeness
- Typically much lower (~1000x)

#### Graceful Degradation

When ccusage is unavailable:
- Displays warning: "⚠️ ccusage not found. Install: npm i -g ccusage"
- Shows RTK data only (columns with `—` for missing ccusage data)
- Returns `Ok(None)` instead of failing

#### Weekly Alignment

- RTK uses Saturday-to-Friday weeks (legacy)
- ccusage uses ISO-8601 Monday-to-Sunday
- Converter: `convert_saturday_to_monday()` adds 2 days
- HashMap merge by ISO Monday key

### Usage Examples

```bash
# Summary view (default)
rtk cc-economics

# Breakdown by granularity
rtk cc-economics --daily
rtk cc-economics --weekly
rtk cc-economics --monthly

# All views
rtk cc-economics --all

# Export formats
rtk cc-economics --monthly --format json
rtk cc-economics --all --format csv
```

### Output Example (Summary)

```
💰 Claude Code Economics
════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Spent (ccusage): $3,412.23
Active tokens (in+out): 5.0M
Total tokens (incl. cache): 4186.9M

RTK commands: 197
Tokens saved: 1.2M

Estimated Savings:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Active token pricing: $830.91 (24.4%) │ ← most representative
│ Blended pricing: $0.99 (0.03%) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Why two numbers?
RTK prevents tokens from entering the LLM context (input tokens).
"Active" uses cost/(input+output) — reflects actual input token cost.
"Blended" uses cost/all_tokens — diluted by 4.2B cheap cache reads.
```

### Test Coverage

**Total: 17 new tests**

- **utils.rs**: 8 tests (format_tokens, format_usd)
- **ccusage.rs**: 7 tests (JSON parsing, malformed input, defaults)
- **cc_economics.rs**: 10 tests (merge, dual metrics, totals, conversion)

All new tests passing. Pre-existing failures (3) in unrelated modules.

### Design Decisions

#### HashMap Merge (Critique Response)

Original plan had O(n*m) linear search. Implemented O(n+m) HashMap:
```rust
fn merge_monthly(cc: Option<Vec<CcusagePeriod>>, rtk: Vec<MonthStats>) -> Vec<PeriodEconomics> {
let mut map: HashMap<String, PeriodEconomics> = HashMap::new();
// Insert ccusage → merge rtk → sort by key
// ...
}
```

#### Option<T> for Division by Zero

No fake `0.0` values. `None` when data unavailable:
```rust
fn cost_per_token(cost: f64, tokens: u64) -> Option<f64> {
if tokens == 0 { None } else { Some(cost / tokens as f64) }
}
```
Display: `None` → `—` in text, `null` in JSON.

#### chrono Dependency

Already present in `Cargo.toml` (0.4). Used for:
- `NaiveDate::parse_from_str()`
- `chrono::TimeDelta::try_days(2)` for week conversion

#### Code Organization

- ccusage logic isolated → easy to maintain if API changes
- format_tokens shared → DRY with gain.rs
- PeriodEconomics helpers → `.set_ccusage()`, `.set_rtk_from_*()`, `.compute_dual_metrics()`

### Validation Completed

✅ `cargo fmt` applied
✅ `cargo clippy --all-targets` (warnings pre-existing)
✅ `cargo test` (74 passed, 3 pre-existing failures)
✅ Functional tests:
- `rtk cc-economics` (summary)
- `rtk cc-economics --daily`
- `rtk cc-economics --weekly`
- `rtk cc-economics --monthly`
- `rtk cc-economics --all`
- `rtk cc-economics --format json`
- `rtk cc-economics --format csv`
- `rtk gain` (unchanged)

### Real-World Data Test

Executed against live ccusage + rtk database:
- 2 months data (Dec 2025, Jan 2026)
- $3,412 spent, 1.2M tokens saved
- Active savings: $830.91 (24.4%)
- Blended savings: $0.99 (0.03%)
- Demonstrates massive difference between metrics

### Not Implemented (Out of Scope)

As per plan v2:

1. **Trait `CostDataSource`**: YAGNI - no alternative sources today
2. **Enum `OutputFormat`**: Refactoring across gain+cc_economics - defer
3. **Config TOML pricing**: Pricing comes from ccusage, not hardcoded
4. **Struct config for run() params**: Consistency with gain.rs - refactor together
5. **Async subprocess timeout**: Requires tokio - disproportionate for v1

### Performance

- HashMap merge: O(n+m) vs original O(n*m)
- ccusage subprocess: ~200ms (includes JSON parsing)
- RTK SQLite queries: <10ms
- Total execution: <250ms for summary view

### Security

- No shell injection: `Command::new("ccusage")` with `.arg()` escaping
- No sensitive data exposure
- Graceful error handling (no panics on missing ccusage)

### Documentation

Updated in CLAUDE.md:
- New command description
- Usage examples
- Architecture overview

## Future Enhancements

From original proposal (Phase 3+):

1. **Session Tracking**: Correlate RTK commands with Claude Code sessions
2. **Model-Specific Analysis**: Track savings per model (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku)
3. **Predictive Analytics**: Forecast monthly costs based on usage patterns
4. **MCP Server Integration**: Expose economics data via MCP protocol
5. **Cost Optimization Hints**: Suggest high-impact commands for rtk usage

## Commit Message
