What it does
Cost Tracker is an agent skill from rohitg00/pro-workflow. Track session costs, set budget alerts, and optimize token spend. Use to check costs mid-session or set spending limits.
Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM cost and token optimization. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code learns from your corrections: self-correcting memory that compounds over 50+ sessions. Context engineering, parallel worktrees, agent teams, and 17 battle-tested…
When your agent uses it
- Check costs mid-session
- Set spending limits
Example prompts
- “/cost-tracker”
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Scope prompts tightly — "Fix the auth bug in src/auth/login.ts" vs "Fix the auth bug"
- Use the right model — Haiku for simple lookups, Sonnet for features, Opus for architecture
- Delegate to subagents — Search/explore operations in subagents keep main context lean
- Compact proactively — Don't wait for auto-compact; compact at task boundaries
- Read selectively — Use offset and limit params for large files
- Batch operations — Multiple independent tool calls in one message
- One-pass discipline — Write complete solution, test once, stop if green
- No re-reads — Don't re-read unchanged files; trust cached knowledge
- Read before write — Never write a file without reading it first
- Kill output bloat — No sycophantic openers, no closing fluff, no prompt restatement
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 86d5f27. 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 bash).
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
Cost Tracker loads about 814 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 345 words (~814 tokens).
