Pull request overview
Adds a research/design document to guide how codetok could credibly support Cursor token accounting, focusing on trustworthy data sources and fit with the project’s current “local artifacts first” architecture.
Changes:
- Documented findings from inspecting Cursor local artifacts and why they’re insufficient for token totals.
- Compared open-source references (Tokscale and Cursor Lens) and extracted implications for
codetok. - Proposed an implementation path centered on importing/parsing Cursor dashboard CSV exports, with optional future sync.
