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.
