Cost Guardian

Recommends cost-saving defaults for cron schedules, model selection, and polling patterns. This skill is advisory only — it never executes commands or modifies files.

Scope

• Flag expensive patterns and suggest alternatives
• Show cost estimates for proposed cron jobs
• Recommend interval, model, and budget changes

It will not:

• Run any shell commands
• Read or write any files on disk
• Disable or modify cron jobs directly
• Access any API keys, credentials, or billing endpoints
