AD Token Tamer — AI API Cost Control
Monitor, budget, and optimize AI API spending across any provider. Tracks every call, enforces budgets, detects waste, provides optimization recommendations.
As a process D 49/100 · Unfinished process — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
How to improve
For the model run — optional
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
name-formatname should be kebab-case (lowercase letters, digits, hyphens)
Process rating: all ten parameters 49/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (Token Tamer — AI API Cost Control) differs from the folder (token-tamer)
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 8 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 946 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 157: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 9 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 8 items
- +4Has examples (7 code blocks)
- +1License stated
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 80.
