What it does

01 Cost is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Answers what a period or one task consumed - a total, a day-by-day series, or a breakdown by step, model, task, backlog item, orchestrated flow, tool, project or person - and hands back the artefact each question deserves. Use when the user asks what a piece of work cost, what changed, where the effort went, which task, which backlog item or ticket, which orchestrated run, for which project, or who spent it. Not for turning measurement on.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `actions/01-locate.md`, `actions/02-collect.md` and `actions/03-report.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Marketplace Framework AI-Driven Dev : Context Engineering, Plugins, Agents, Skills, Hooks, Templates, SDLC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks what a piece of work cost
  • Where the effort went
  • Which backlog item
  • Which orchestrated run

Example prompts

  • “Use the 01-cost skill to answer what a period or one task consumed - a total, a day-by-day series, or a breakdown by step, model, task, backlog…”
  • “/01-cost”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. 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 mermaid).

    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.

Context cost

01 Cost loads about 810 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~810

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

The question, not the flag

Someone asking what last month cost does not know which axis answers them. Read the question, offer these axes in its own language, and derive the flags - never hand back a menu and ask them to pick.

Transversal rules

  • Answer only through aidd telemetry read and aidd telemetry report. Never a script beside this skill: the report is computed in one place, and that place is the CLI.
  • Report what the script printed. Recomputing a figure a second way is how two figures start disagreeing.
  • An absent number is not a zero. Say the figure is unknown and give what is known instead.
  • Turning measurement on belongs elsewhere. Stop and say so rather than doing it here.
  • The script cannot be found or fails: say so and show no figure.

Answers what a period or one task consumed - a total, a day-by-day series, or a breakdown by step, model, task, backlog item, orchestrated flow, tool, project or person - and hands back the artefact each question deserves.

When should I use 01 Cost?

01 Cost fits situations like: the user asks what a piece of work cost; where the effort went; which backlog item; which orchestrated run.

How do I install 01 Cost in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add ai-driven-dev/framework --skill 01-cost -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/aidd-telemetry/skills/01-cost in ai-driven-dev/framework) into .claude/skills/01-cost in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install 01 Cost in Codex?

Run `npx skills add ai-driven-dev/framework --skill 01-cost -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/aidd-telemetry/skills/01-cost in ai-driven-dev/framework) into .agents/skills/01-cost in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use 01 Cost in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ai-driven-dev/framework --skill 01-cost -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/01-cost, .gemini/skills/01-cost, .github/skills/01-cost and .opencode/skills/01-cost in your project.

What does 01 Cost need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: 01 Cost is instructions for the agent only.

Does 01 Cost access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is 01 Cost safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does 01 Cost use?

01 Cost is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does 01 Cost use?

About 810 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to 01 Cost?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with 01 Cost: Cost Conversation (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars), Cost Tracking (affaan-m/ECC, 274k stars), Cost Summary (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars) and Cost Report (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
