- Cost Estimation: Calculates the API cost based on token usage and selected Claude model pricing.
- Context Window Analysis: Flags potential issues if token usage approaches or exceeds model limits.
- Optimization Suggestions: Provides actionable advice to reduce costs and token usage, such as prompt caching or model downgrading.
- Use Case: Before sending a large document for summarization or a complex multi-turn conversation, use this Skill to get an estimate of the token count and cost, and receive suggestions on how to optimize it.
Quick Start
