Use when the user wants to capture AI tool costs, review spending trends, set cost budgets, or integrate cost data into health snapshots — guides quarterly cost capture, records data in a structured format, and updates MODEL_ROUTING.md with observed cost patterns.
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
# Cost Tracking Capture, record, and track AI tool costs over time. Cost data feeds into health snapshots and informs model routing decisions. This skill does not access billing APIs directly — it guides the user through checking their provider dashboards and recording the data in a structured format that the plugin can read. ## Why Track Costs Without cost data: - MODEL_ROUTING.md routing rules are theoretical - The break-even calculation for self-hosting is impossible - Cost per PR/feature is unknown — no way to optimise - Budget conversations happen without evidence With cost data: - Routing rules are validated against actual spend - Self-hosting decisions are grounded in real numbers - Cost trends reveal whether AI adoption is efficient - Budget conversations have receipts ## Two actuals records: the quarterly snapshot and the per-PR record This skill owns **two** actuals formats under `observability/costs/`: - **The quarterly snapshot** (below) — a **provider-level aggregate** of spend and tokens across all work for a billing period, captured by `/cost-capture`. - **The per-PR actuals record** — a **single-task** structural footprint (which …

How to install
mdr add habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers/cost-tracking@sha256:7f24b23632ddda90The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260615.5cbd528, 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.
