skill-cost-projections

To forecast remaining AI workflow costs, this skill calculates average step costs from completed phase data and estimates final spend to highlight potential budget overruns. It uses existing workflow metrics to project future spending automatically.

Workflow cost projection estimates remaining spend by analyzing completed phase metrics in multi-step tasks. It monitors spending visibility and compares projected totals against configured budget ceilings to prevent unexpected overruns during execution.

You can monitor spending visibility by providing workflow metrics containing completed step costs and phase data. The skill analyzes this data to track current spending and predict final costs across multi-phase AI orchestration workflows.

Budget configuration is optional for calculating workflow cost projections, but required for budget monitoring. You must provide completed step costs and phase data, while budget ceilings are only needed to trigger potential overrun warnings.

Yes, you can use phase spending data to switch to lower-cost profiles. By tracking current spending and predicting final costs, teams can adjust their AI development workflow configurations before exceeding budget limits.
