What it does

Cost Booster Route is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Route tasks through hooksroute, partition by Agent Booster availability, and report Tier 1 bypass utilization with $0 cost

Its SKILL.md is about 680 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 Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c04654. 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:
- mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_route
- mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search
- mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_list
- Bash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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 Booster Route loads about 681 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~681

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.

Cost Booster Route

Wraps mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_route and reports how many tasks the 3-tier router classified as Agent Booster (Tier 1) eligible. Tier 1 bypasses run as WASM transforms — no LLM call, structurally $0 cost.

When to use

Before a batch of similar tasks, or when cost-report shows Sonnet/Opus spend on descriptions that look like simple transforms (var-to-const, add-types, add-error-handling, async-await, add-logging, remove-console).

Steps

Collect tasks — single arg or recent entries from cost-tracking via memory_search. Cap batch at 50.
Route each — call hooks_route with the description; capture the full response string.
Partition — group by whether the response contains the literal [AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE] (Tier 1) vs. not (Tier 2/3). Extract [TASK_MODEL_RECOMMENDATION] Use model="X" when present.
Compute spend — Tier 1 partition: $0. Tier 2/3 partition: per-task upper-bound from REFERENCE.md pricing × recommended model.

Report

=== Booster bypass report ===
Tasks analyzed:        50
Tier 1 (booster):      18 (36%)  — $0.00
Tier 2/3 (LLM):        32 (64%)  — $X.XX (upper-bound)
Booster intents:       var-to-const (8), add-types (5), remove-console (5)

Persist — memory_store --namespace cost-tracking --key "booster-route-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)" --value '{"tier1": N, "tier2_or_3": M, ...}' so cost-report picks up the tier signal.

Caveats — claimed upstream, not yet verified

[AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE] fires only when the upstream router populates routeResult.agentBoosterIntent.type (v3/@claude-flow/cli/src/mcp-tools/hooks-tools.ts:1228). The published CLI's semantic-VectorDb path does not always trigger the classifier — treat the partition as a lower bound on Tier 1 eligibility.
CLAUDE.md root claims <1ms latency and 352× faster than LLM. <1ms and $0 are structural; 352× is claimed upstream, not yet verified here. Report what the router actually returns.
See docs/benchmarks/0002-baseline.md for the full upstream-claims-vs-measured table.
