What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of escalating AI model costs by monitoring usage, estimating expenses, and recommending more cost-effective model choices for tasks that don't require the highest tiers of processing power.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Usage Tracking: Monitors token consumption and estimates session costs.
• Cost-Benefit Analysis: Evaluates if the current task justifies the model tier being used.
• Model Recommendation: Suggests downgrading to less expensive models (e.g., Sonnet instead of Opus) when appropriate.
• Budget Management: Helps users stay within monthly AI budget limits.
• Use Case: Before starting a large batch of routine code fixes, you can ask the Session Economist to check if using Opus is necessary, or if Sonnet would suffice, thereby saving significant costs.

Quick Start

Ask the session economist to review current usage and recommend model adjustments.
