Claude Code / Codex CLI tokens reset weekly with no rollover. Inspired by the Japanese *mottainai* (もったいない) spirit — the belief that waste is something to be avoided — **token-burn** puts those remaining tokens to work. It runs your prompts across repositories in parallel before the reset deadline — code reviews, bug hunts, refactoring, test improvements, or anything else you define. When the reset time arrives, token-burn stops starting new tasks and waits for the tasks already running to finish.
