skill-cost-projections
Host: Codex CLI — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex. Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than
/octo:*slash commands. Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it. For host tool equivalents, seeskills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md.
Cost Projections Skill
Overview
Projects remaining workflow cost based on per-phase averages from completed work. Displays cost data in the HUD/statusline and warns when projected totals exceed a configured budget ceiling.
Minimum data requirement: Needs 2+ completed steps before projecting. With fewer than 2 data points, the average is unreliable — display actual spend only and skip projection.
Step 1: Collect Completed Phase Costs
Read cost data from ~/.claude-octopus/metrics/ or from metrics-tracker.sh output. Each completed phase/step should have an associated cost entry.
