AC cost-optimizer
Tracks cumulative LLM costs across DAG execution and makes real-time decisions to stay within budget. Downgrades models, skips optional nodes, or stops early when cost exceeds thresholds. Use when managing execution budgets, analyzing cost breakdowns, or optimizing model routing for cost. Activate on "cost budget", "too expensive", "reduce cost", "cost optimization", "model downgrade", "budget exceeded". NOT for LLM model selection logic (use llm-router), pricing comparisons across providers, or billing/invoicing.

As a process C 64/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions
How to improve
- 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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 64/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
- 100Steps. 11 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 816 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
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.
