Cost awareness
Skill aarshsharma2803-stack/optimusprime/skills/cost-awareness
Activates when user asks about token usage or cost: "how much has this session cost", "what's my token usage", "am I close to my budget", "cost report", "how many tokens", "what have I spent", "token count", "check my usage". Also activates proactively when session shows very high token consumption: responses consistently exceeding 400 lines, more than 15 tool calls in one turn, or user mentions slow responses, context limits, or approaching compaction.From its SKILL.md

Read .optimusprime/cost-log.json (walk up from cwd to find .optimusprime/).
Estimate current session tokens from context window size (4 chars ≈ 1 token).
Output:
COST REPORT — Session: ~Xk in / ~Yk out | ~$Z.ZZ (Sonnet 4 pricing: $3/M in, $15/M out)
Previous sessions: N total | ~$W.WW cumulative
Budget alert based on complexity_budget in contract.json:
minimal+ usage > 20k tokens → warnmoderate+ usage > 60k tokens → warnfull+ usage > 150k tokens → warn
Alert: COST ALERT: ~$X.XX used this session — over [minimal/moderate/full] budget
Append to .optimusprime/cost-log.json (create if missing):
