// Advanced cost intelligence: efficiency scoring, waste detection, ROI metrics, model savings calculator, anomaly detection, and GitHub badge generation. Use when user says 'insights', 'efficiency', 'waste', 'roi', 'savings', 'anomaly', 'badge', or '/cost-insights'.
Estimate the cost of a task before starting it. Analyzes task complexity, predicts token usage, and compares cost across all Claude models. Use when user says 'estimate cost', 'how much will this cost', 'cost estimate', or '/cost-estimate'.
Real-time cost tracking and budget management for Claude Code sessions. Shows current spend, burn rate, budget status, per-tool and per-model breakdown. Use when user says 'cost', 'budget', 'spending', 'how much', 'token usage', 'export', or '/cost-guardian'. Subcommands: budget, resume, reset, config, export, status.
Generate detailed cost reports with charts and breakdowns. Shows daily/weekly/monthly spend, per-tool costs, per-branch costs, and trends. Use when user says 'cost report', 'spending report', 'usage report', 'show costs', 'branch costs', or '/cost-report'.

Advanced cost intelligence that goes beyond simple tracking. Shows WHERE money is wasted, WHAT you got for your spend, and HOW to spend less.
/cost-insights or /cost-insights report (default)Full insights report with all metrics:
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/insights.js" insights "${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}"
Display the ASCII output as-is.
/cost-insights wasteDetailed waste analysis — redundant reads, failed commands, retry storms:
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/insights.js" waste "${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}"
Explain each waste type and suggest how to avoid it.
/cost-insights roiCost-per-line and cost-per-commit ROI metrics:
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/insights.js" roi "${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}"
Compare to typical benchmarks ($0.02-0.05/line is good, >$0.10/line is expensive).
/cost-insights savingsModel routing savings calculator — shows what you could save on cheaper models:
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/insights.js" savings "${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}"
Explain which tasks could safely use Haiku vs Sonnet vs Opus.
/cost-insights anomalyCheck if this session is abnormally expensive:
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/insights.js" anomaly "${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}"
/cost-insights badge [daily|weekly|monthly]Generate a GitHub README badge showing AI development cost:
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/insights.js" badge monthly
Give the user the markdown to paste in their README.
