Klaviyo Cost Tuning

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Analyzing Klaviyo billing
• Reducing active profile costs
• Implementing usage monitoring and budget alerts
• With phrases like klaviyo cost

Example prompts

• “klaviyo cost”
• “klaviyo billing”
• “reduce klaviyo costs”
• “/klaviyo-cost-tuning”

Requirements

• A credential in KLAVIYO_PRIVATE_KEY
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Audit active profile count — page through ProfilesApi.getProfiles with a minimal
2. 2Identify unengaged profiles — query an "Unengaged 180+ Days" segment via SegmentsApi.
3. 3Suppress unengaged contacts — unsubscribe (stays but unmarketable = not billed) or
4. 4Sample non-critical events — keep revenue events at 100%, sample high-volume/low-value
5. 5Monitor API usage — wrap SDK calls in a rate tracker to catch runaway processes before

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Grep

  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 typescript).

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • klaviyo.com
  • developers.klaviyo.com

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

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • KLAVIYO_PRIVATE_KEY

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

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Klaviyo Cost Tuning loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 634 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~93

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

~1.7k

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

~3.4k

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.
