The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Cost Summary
A stable single-call interface that other plugins / scripts / dashboards can shell out to and parse. ADR-0002 considered exposing cost_report / cost_summary as proper MCP tools but deferred that — adding MCP tools requires modifying @claude-flow/cli source, out of scope for plugin-local work. This script is the equivalent: same data, exposed via a stdout JSON contract.
When to use
- Another plugin needs a snapshot of cost state — it shells out to
summary.mjs --format jsonand parses. - A dashboard / Slackbot fetches a one-line cost rollup.
- Quick "where am I right now?" view that pulls from every cost-tracker source (cost-tracking + federation-spend).
