What it does

Ot Cost Analysis is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Trigger for: Other Transaction or OT should-cost, cost estimate, cost-share analysis, milestone pricing, funding profile, proposed-price comparison, prototype price analysis, research OT budget, production follow-on OT estimate, or OT price-reasonableness support under 10 U.S.C. 4021 or 4022.

Use for pre-solicitation budgets and proposal comparisons. Do NOT…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/authority-and-cost-sharing.md` and `references/data-source-operations.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Project management, Excel spreadsheets and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • : Other Transaction
  • Cost-share analysis
  • Milestone pricing
  • Funding profile

Example prompts

  • “/ot-cost-analysis”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. derive milestones only when required
  2. validate authority and economics
  3. benchmark labor
  4. obtain CALC+ positioning
  5. price materials, travel, and ODCs
  6. build milestone should-cost
  7. scenario analysis
  8. build the workbook
  9. 5: validate before delivery
  10. deliver

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. 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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Ot Cost Analysis loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 179 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,141 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~179
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,141 words (~4,440 tokens).

“Build an auditable, formula-driven cost analysis organized by OT milestone. Separate total project cost, the non-Federal contribution, any consortium or administrative fee, the proposed payment amount, and the Government funding requirement. Use market evidence and arithmetic to support the Agreements…”
