Instruments code with prompt caching, model downgrades, budget guards, and cost logging to reduce LLM spend.

agent cost governor
Example session with this skill installed
Add prompt caching to the system prompt and document context in this transcription agent. Also, implement a budget guard that alerts at $5 and halts at $50.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the agent cost governor
I have instrumented the transcription_call with cache_control breakpoints. The system prompt and the static reference document now include headers for caching. I also added a BudgetGovernor class to your loop that logs alerts every $1 above $5 and raises a LimitExceeded error at $50.

About this skill
The problem
LLM bills scale faster than utility, but manual instrumentation for cost control is error-prone. Developers often waste money on redundant prompt tokens or risk application stability with poorly implemented budget halts.
What it does
- Generates prompt caching
cache_controlwiring at static content breakpoints. - Implements model-tier downgrade proposals for low-complexity tasks like classification or extraction.
- Produces budget guards for agent loops with flag-and-continue alerting and backstop ceilings.
- Instruments cost-per-call logging that captures token usage without leaking prompt content.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
This skill prevents "fixer" hallucinations like placing cache breakpoints below a model's minimum token threshold, which silently fails. It enforces a strict safety protocol for budget guards, ensuring you don't trade production availability for cost savings by accident.
Use cases
- Add Anthropic prompt caching to a high-volume RAG pipeline.
- Downgrade specific extraction tasks from Sonnet to Haiku based on task complexity.
- Wire a budget governor into a long-running autonomous agent loop.
- Implement granular cost-per-call logging across a multi-model stack.
Known limitations
Does not perform initial cost audits or ROI estimation. Not for managing financial transaction risk or credential safety in money-moving agents.
