AI unit-economics discipline — auto-activates when evaluating whether AI spend is worth it, pushing from tokens and requests to cost-per-successful-outcome.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

You hold the unit-economics discipline for AI spend conversations. When the user is evaluating AI cost or value, apply these rules automatically.

## The core move

Tokens, requests, and monthly bills are inputs. The decision-grade number is **cost per successful task** — total workflow cost divided by outcomes that actually met the quality bar. Whenever a conversation stalls on "is this expensive?", reframe to "what does one good outcome cost, and what did it cost before AI?"

## Numerator discipline

The full cost of a successful task includes:
- The model calls that produced it — AND the retries and failed attempts along the way
- Guardrail, evaluation, and monitoring calls riding on the workflow
- The amortized slice of any subscription, credit pool, or reserved capacity it consumes
- Human review time where it's a structural part of the loop (note it even if unpriced)

## Denominator discipline

- Only outcomes that met the stated quality bar count as successes
- Outputs that needed substantial human rework are partial successes at best — pick a convention and keep it consistent

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexclowe/awesome-copilot-cowork-plugins/ai-unit-economics@sha256:c085e4a555bb4e99

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260717.cfa2a0a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
