SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Steward enforces budget boundaries by producing timely alerts for token/cost usage so leaders can decide on next steps without immediate interruptions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Emits tiered alerts (info, warning, block) based on usage thresholds to protect budgets.
  • Computes usage from tokensUsed and tokensLimit, and surfaces actionable guidance for ongoing mission stages.
  • Use Case: monitor a live mission with S1..S4 and trigger alerts when nearing or exceeding planned spend.

Quick Start

Review current budget state and trigger an alert by evaluating a sample input of 75% usage and generating a warning.

Frequently Asked Questions about Steward

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor token usage against a set budget threshold?

Budget alerts are triggered by evaluating current token usage against predefined thresholds. The system calculates spend from tokensUsed and tokensLimit metrics across mission stages, emitting tiered alerts like warnings or blocks as limits are approached.

What is a budget-guard scope for cost control in live missions?

A budget-guard scope defines the operational boundary for enforcing cost limits across mission stages. It applies threshold checks to completed and pending tasks, generating structured alerts to prevent budget overruns during live operations.

Can I configure different alert levels for budget thresholds?

Yes, you can configure tiered alert levels including info, warning, and block states. These alerts are emitted based on specific threshold configurations, allowing you to escalate automated responses as token usage approaches or exceeds budget limits.

How do I set up cost control alerts for a multi-stage process?

Setting up cost control alerts involves defining threshold limits within a budget-guard scope for your process. The system then evaluates token consumption at each stage, outputting a structured alerts array to enforce boundaries and guide resource decisions.

What happens when token usage reaches a warning threshold?

When token usage reaches a warning threshold, the system emits a tiered alert containing actionable guidance. This notifies stakeholders of approaching limits, allowing them to adjust resource allocation and decide on next steps without immediate interruption.
