token-budget-gate skillA

token-budget-gate is agent-read markdown (skill) from chrono-meta/forge-harness: Estimates token cost before a multi-step task and outputs a 4-tier Green/Yellow/Orange/Red gate verdict. Records actual vs. estimated after completion when a mechanical usage source exists. Triggers on "token budget", "how much will this cost", "will this be expensive", "estimate tokens", before long multi-agent tasks..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
