Budget Optimizer

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user asks to allocate my influencer budget
• Optimize spend across tiers
• Compare budget scenarios
• Produces a tier/platform/content allocation table

Example prompts

• “allocate my influencer budget”
• “optimize spend across tiers”
• “compare budget scenarios”
• “/budget-optimizer”

Requirements

• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Claude Code and compatible agent-skill hosts

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Allocation sums to 100% of the stated budget; any contingency amount follows a user rule or a source-dated planning anchor rather than a…
2. 2Every projected metric includes its formula, input refs, evidence window, and Measured / User-provided / Estimated label.
3. 3One recommended scenario is named with its rationale, or the numerical scenario remains NEEDS_INPUT with an exact evidence-request plan.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d5529cb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Claude Code and compatible agent-skill hosts

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Budget Optimizer loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,003 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~89

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~3k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~5.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Use when the user asks to "allocate my influencer budget", "optimize spend across tiers", or "compare budget scenarios"; produces a tier/platform/content allocation table, ROI and CPM/CPE projections, scenario comparisons, and mid-campaign reallocation moves. Not for building the full campaign plan — use campaign-planner. 达人预算分配/投放预算优化

Help me allocate a $30,000 budget for an influencer campaign on Instagram and TikTok

Optimize my influencer budget across micro and macro influencers for a Gen Z product launch — compare a $50K and a $100K scenario

## Budget Allocation: $30,000 Skincare Launch

**Status**: NEEDS_INPUT

The budget, platforms, audience, and goal are User-provided. No compatible creator quotes, deliverable/rights scope, contingency rule, reach/engagement history, conversion rate, AOV, or attribution basis was supplied, so no creator count, platform split, CPM, revenue, ROAS, ROI, or EMV is fabricated.

### Evidence request

| Needed input | Exact request |
|--------------|---------------|
| Cost basis | Dated creator quotes or first-party rates for the target market, platform, tier, deliverable, usage-rights term, exclusivity, and currency |
| Forecast basis | Comparable reach/engagement observations with source refs and windows |
| Return basis | Approved conversion rate, AOV, attribution window/method, and whether revenue is gross or net |
| Planning rules | User-approved platform/tier constraints, amplification amount, and contingency rule |

Until these arrive, provide only a 100%-summing allocation worksheet with `TBD` cells and no recommended numerical scenario.
