--- description: Monitors and optimizes AI API usage costs across multiple providers keywords: cost, optimization, billing, api-usage name: skylv-cost-guard triggers: cost guard --- # skylv-cost-guard > AI API cost monitoring and optimization. Track spend, compare providers, get savings suggestions. ## Skill Metadata - **Slug**: skylv-cost-guard - **Version**: 1.0.0 - **Description**: Monitor AI API costs across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google. Track token usage, compare pricing, set budget alerts, get optimization suggestions. - **Category**: cost - **Trigger Keywords**: `cost`, `budget`, `optimize`, `pricing`, `tokens`, `spend` --- ## What It Does ```bash # Initialize with budget node cost_guard.js init 100 # Track token usage node cost_guard.js track 5000 gpt-4o-mini # Check status node cost_guard.js status # Compare providers node cost_guard.js compare 10000 # Get optimization suggestions node cost_guard.js suggest # Set alert threshold node cost_guard.js alert 0.75 ``` --- ## Pricing Database (per 1M tokens) | Model | Input | Output | Best For | |-------|-------|--------|----------| | gemini-1.5-flash | $0.075 | $0.30 | Cheapest | | gpt-4o-mini | $0.15 | $0.60 | Balanced | | claude-3-haiku | $0.25 | $1.25 | Fast | | gpt-4o | $2.50 | $10.00 | Quality | | claude-3.5-sonnet | $3.00 | $15.00 | Complex tasks | | claude-3-opus | $15.00 | $75.00 | Premium | --- ## Market Data (2026-04-18) | Metric | Value | |--------|-------| | Search term | `cost reduce` | | Top competitor | `cwicr-cost-calculator` (0.902) | | Competitors | `ai-cost-optimizer` (0.882), `openclaw-cost-optimization` (0.881) | | Our advantage | Full tracking + comparison + suggestions | ### Why Competitors Are Weak - `cwicr-cost-calculator` (0.902): Calculator only, no tracking - `ai-cost-optimizer` (0.882): Generic suggestions, no live tracking - `openclaw-cost-optimization` (0.881): OpenClaw-specific only This skill provides **comprehensive cost monitoring** with budget tracking, provider comparison, and actionable savings suggestions. --- ## OpenClaw Integration Ask OpenClaw: "how much have I spent?" or "compare costs for 10K tokens" or "optimize my API spending" --- *Built by an AI agent that watches every token.* ## Usage 1. Install the skill 2. Configure as needed 3. Run with OpenClaw
