Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo --skill cost-conversation
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads cost-conversation automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Cost per Conversation

cost-report and cost-optimize aggregate by agent and model. This skill aggregates by conversation (session) — a different lens that surfaces which conversations cost the most. Useful for retrospectives ("which sessions ran long on Opus?") and for evaluating whether a given project's session pattern is sustainable.

When to use

  • After multiple sessions, to see total spend per conversation.
  • Before scoping a long session, to understand typical cost-per-conversation.
  • For per-project rollups via CONV_NAMESPACE=cost-tracking-<project>.

Steps

  1. Run the script from anywhere:

    node plugins/ruflo-cost-tracker/scripts/conversation.mjs

    Optional env:

    • CONV_FORMAT=json — emit JSON instead of markdown
    • CONV_LIMIT=20 — show only the most recent N conversations
    • CONV_NAMESPACE=cost-tracking — override target namespace

  2. Inspect the markdown table — total cost across all conversations, per-tier rollup, then a per-session table (started-at, sessionId prefix, message count, top model, cost).

Cross-references

  • cost-track — the producer that populates cost-tracking:session-*
  • cost-report — same data, per-agent / per-model lens
  • cost-trend — drift across bench runs (different axis: corpus runs vs conversations)
  • cost-budget-check — sums across conversations to evaluate the budget threshold
