Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Cost Optimize Analyze recent token usage across agents and models, identify waste, and recommend specific optimizations with estimated dollar savings. ## When to use When costs are higher than expected or you want to proactively reduce spending. Analyzes model selection efficiency, cache utilization, agent redundancy, and prompt efficiency. ## Steps 1. **Load usage data** -- call `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search` on the `cost-tracking` namespace (last 7 days). The `memory_*` tools route by namespace; use them — not `agentdb_hierarchical-*` (which routes by tier). 2. **Analyze model fit** -- for each agent, assess whether the model tier matches task complexity: - Agents doing simple tasks (formatting, linting) on Sonnet/Opus → suggest Haiku or Agent Booster - Agents doing complex tasks (architecture, security) on Haiku → flag quality risk 3. **Check cache rates** -- compute cache hit rate per agent; if below 60%, recommend enabling or improving prompt caching (90% cost reduction on cache reads) 4. **Detect redundancy** -- look for multiple agents performing overlapping tasks, or agents being spawned for work that could be batched 5. **Estimate savings** -- for each rec
