How it works

Three steps to a live race

From zero to a running leaderboard in about a minute.

1

Create the leaderboard

Pick the Claude Code tokens template when you make a board. Name it — done.

2

Share the join command

Players open the board, type a name, and copy their personal npx boardq join … one-liner.

3

Watch the race

A Claude Code hook reports usage each time Claude finishes a response (at most once every ~5 min) — names climb the board on their own, like the demo above.

Why it's fun & fair

Built for developers

Set up once, forget it

boardq join installs a Claude Code hook that reports each time Claude finishes a response (throttled to ~5 min). No terminal to keep open.

Fair from zero

Your join moment is the baseline. Only tokens spent after joining count — a first-day dev can still win.

Privacy-first

Only token counts and an estimated cost are sent. Your prompts, code and files never leave your machine.

Real-time

Standings update live over websockets. Throw it on the office TV and watch the tokens fly.

One line, no install

npx boardq join — nothing to install, runs anywhere Node 18+ does. macOS, Linux, Windows.

Any crowd

A 4-person team, a company, a Discord, or an open public board — unlimited participants, free.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is a Claude Code tokens leaderboard?

It's a live leaderboard that ranks people by how many Claude Code tokens they spend. Each player runs `npx boardq join <boardId> --token <token>` once, which installs a Claude Code hook that reports their token usage automatically after each session - so the standings update as they code, with no terminal left open.

How does BoardQ read my token usage?

The boardq CLI reads Claude Code's own local usage logs in ~/.claude/projects (the same data ccusage uses). It only sends token counts and an estimated cost - never your prompts, code, or file contents.

Does my past usage count?

No. The moment you join is your baseline. Only the tokens you spend after joining count toward your score, so everyone starts from zero and it's a fair race - regardless of how long you've been using Claude Code.

Is it free?

Yes. Creating a Claude tokens leaderboard and inviting unlimited participants is free. The boardq CLI is open to run with npx - no install required.

Do participants need a BoardQ account?

No. Anyone can open the board, type a display name, and get their personal connect command. Only the person who creates the leaderboard needs an account.
