### Because nothing says "AI-native" like a six-figure token bill

A bash one-liner that burns Claude Code tokens on purpose.

```bash
burn 50000  # burn 50,000 tokens
```

## Install and run in 20 seconds

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dtnewman/burn-baby-burn/main/install.sh | bash
```

Drops `burn` into `~/.local/bin` — no sudo, no Homebrew tap. Needs
[Claude Code](https://docs.claude.com/claude-code) authenticated on your
`PATH` and `jq` (`brew install jq`).


## Usage

```bash
burn 10000                  # the minimum
burn 50000 --model haiku    # cheap and fast
burn 100000 --model sonnet  # walk away
```
