FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze token-level costs for LLM model usage?

To analyze LLM token costs, the Skill breaks down token consumption data per model tier, mode, and task type to provide a detailed expense breakdown. It evaluates available worker task data to calculate specific usage costs.

What is the best way to project future LLM expenses and set budget alerts?

Projecting future LLM expenses involves using historical usage data to generate trend projections and budget alerts based on defined cost constraints. You can establish a specific budget limit to trigger overrun warnings.

How can I optimize my token budgeting and reduce LLM spending?

Optimizing token budgets requires analyzing current usage to generate recommendations for cheaper model tiers and adjusted thinking budgets. This identifies specific opportunities to lower overall LLM spending.

Can I perform a cost analysis for specific worker tasks like planning and building?

Yes, you can perform cost analysis on any worker tasks such as planning, building, or reviewing where token consumption data is available. The analysis applies directly to the task data to evaluate expenses.

Do I need defined cost constraints to investigate LLM cost overruns?

You need defined cost constraints to effectively investigate overruns and receive budget alerts. By setting a specific budget limit, the analysis can flag anomalies and validate post-task costs against your threshold.
