Burn, baby, burn

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

burn 50000

That's it. It calls claude -p in a loop with garbage prompts until your target is hit. Real numbers come back from the API, so the total is the total that hits your bill.

Features

💸 Investors will see how AI-innovative your company is. 🚀
🏆 Top the internal Claude Code leaderboard. 👑
📊 Pad your OKRs. ✅
🦄 Justify next year's bigger AI budget. 💰

Install

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 authenticated on your PATH and jq (brew install jq).

burn 10000                  # the minimum
