Audit AI usage, billing, unit economics, routing, caching, batching, and optimization. Use when AI cost, margin, pricing, model choice, or savings must be measured or verified.
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
# AI cost audit Build a cost model from observed usage and current primary-source prices. Treat repository intent, measured usage, invoices, and projections as different evidence classes. ## Choose a mode - **Inventory:** map model/media calls, routing, retries, and ownership. - **Economics:** calculate cost per action, user, plan, and month. - **Simulation:** compare pricing, volume, model, cache, batch, or abuse scenarios. - **Optimization:** rank changes after measuring quality and operational risk. - **Reconciliation:** explain the gap between bottom-up estimates and provider invoices. - **Verification:** confirm that a completed change reduced spend without unacceptable quality or latency regressions. Use the narrowest mode that answers the request. Combine modes only when the user asks for a full audit or the dependency is necessary. ## Workflow 1. Inspect the repository, existing telemetry, billing exports, pricing configuration, and prior analyses before asking questions. 2. State the audit boundary: environments, date range, providers, features, currencies, taxes, credits, and whether non-model infrastructure is included. …

How to install
mdr add tushaarmehtaa/tushar-skills/ai-cost-audit@sha256:da762a1b7e28ea46The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260807.fac9f85, 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.
