Token Cost Optimizer

Token Cost Optimizer is a proactive cost-control skill for GitHub Copilot. It helps you reduce metered usage before and during a task by choosing the right model path, cutting unnecessary context, and avoiding parallel work that burns credits without enough payoff.

Why This is Copilot-Exclusive

GitHub Copilot now exposes cost-sensitive control surfaces that matter directly in the CLI:

• Model pricing for token-based usage across Copilot models
• Premium request multipliers that vary by model and feature surface

This skill focuses on Copilot-native levers such as /model, Auto model selection, /compact, /context, autopilot, and /fleet rather than generic LLM budgeting advice.
