cost-report
Generate a cost report showing token usage and USD costs by agent and model
What this skill does
# Cost Report
Generate a comprehensive cost report showing token usage, USD costs, and budget utilization for the specified period.
## When to use
When you need to understand current spending -- how much each agent costs, which models consume the most budget, and whether you're on track to stay within budget.
## Steps
1. **Retrieve usage** -- call `mcp__claude-flow__memory_search` (or `_list` / `_retrieve`) on the `cost-tracking` namespace for the specified period (default: today). The `memory_*` tools route by namespace string; the `agentdb_hierarchical-*` tools do **not** (they route by tier `working|episodic|semantic`), so don't use them here. See [ruflo-agentdb ADR-0001 §"Namespace convention"](../../../ruflo-agentdb/docs/adrs/0001-agentdb-optimization.md) for the routing contract.
1a. **Read measured booster data** -- if `docs/benchmarks/runs/latest.json` exists, load it via `Bash`-shelled `node -e 'console.log(JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(require("fs").readFileSync("docs/benchmarks/runs/latest.json")).summary))'`. This provides Tier 1 measured values — booster cost/edit ($0), avg latency, win rate, plus any LLM baseline that was run (Gemini, Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.7 latencies and per-edit costs). Use these in step 4 for the **measured** Tier breakdown rather than estimated.
2. **Compute costs** -- for each record, calculate cost using model pricing:
- Haiku: $0.25/M input, $1.25/M output
- Sonnet: $3.00/M input, $15.00/M output
- Opus: $15.00/M input, $75.00/M output
- Include cache write/read costs where applicable
3. **Aggregate by model** -- sum costs per model, compute percentage share
4. **Aggregate by tier** -- classify each record as Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3 using **three** signals (in priority order): (a) bench data from step 1a — for any record that maps to a measured booster intent, use $0 / measured-latency directly; (b) the `[AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE]` flag stored by the `cost-booster-route` skill in `cost-tracking`; (c) the model name as fallback (`haiku` → Tier 2; `sonnet`/`opus` → Tier 3). Sum costs per tier, compute share, and count Tier 1 bypasses. The tier breakdown is the most actionable single line — it tells the user what fraction of Sonnet/Opus spend was Tier 1-eligible.
5. **Aggregate by agent** -- sum costs per agent, include the model each agent used
6. **Check budget** -- recall budget configuration via `memory_retrieve` and compute utilization percentage, check alert thresholds (50%/75%/90%/100%)
7. **Report** -- display: total cost, budget remaining, **tier breakdown** (Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3), model breakdown, agent breakdown, active alerts. See REFERENCE.md §"Cost report shape" for the canonical layout.
## CLI alternative
```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory search --query "cost report for today" --namespace cost-tracking
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory list --namespace cost-tracking
```

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
