Most AFAIK (the stuff I bought) are just based on chip manufacturer application notes.
If you look at the chip number and locate the data sheet with google you likely find a circuit diagram :-)

To measure DC without breaking any wires I have a Voltcraft VC-330 (google) AC / DC clamp on meter.
Maybe slice an existing USB cable open, find the +5 V wire, clamp it on, measure it, tape it closed (have not tried it on USB).
It is a useful universal thing that you can use for anything like for example
measuring stuff in your car or whatever, without disconnecting or cutting wires etc.
I would not buy something specialized for just USB.
