SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Three-tier budget enforcement to prevent runaway AI costs in multi-agent workspaces, providing continuous visibility, alerts, and automatic pause when ceilings are reached.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time dashboards track token usage and cost across agents, tasks, and projects.
  • Tiered enforcement: visibility, soft alerts at 80%, hard ceilings at 100% with auto-pause.
  • Per-agent, per-task, and per-project budgeting with token and dollar tracking across the workspace.

Quick Start

Configure budgets for your workspace and start monitoring with the /budget commands.

Frequently Asked Questions about budget

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track AI workspace token costs across multiple agents?

Track AI workspace token costs across multiple agents by configuring per-agent, per-task, and per-project budgets that monitor token usage and dollar amounts in real time. The system provides continuous visibility into multi-agent spending through centralized dashboards.

What is auto-pause budget enforcement for multi-agent environments?

Auto-pause budget enforcement is a 3-tier mechanism that prevents runaway AI costs by tracking spend, issuing soft alerts at 80% of a budget ceiling, and automatically halting tasks when 100% of the limit is reached in multi-agent workspaces.

How do I set up budget alerts for token usage thresholds?

Set up budget alerts by configuring workspace limits and using the /budget set command to define threshold percentages. The system triggers soft alerts at 80% of the budget and hard auto-pause enforcement at 100% to prevent overruns.

Does this budgeting skill work without external dependencies?

Yes, the budgeting skill works without external dependencies, relying entirely on its internal logic to track costs, integrate with model pricing, and enforce per-agent budget ceilings directly within the AI workspace.

What is the best way to view burn-rate and cost reports for tasks?

View burn-rate and cost reports for tasks by using the /budget burn-rate and /budget report commands. These commands expose real-time dashboards that monitor token consumption and billing thresholds across agents and projects.
