Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Cost Summary A stable single-call interface that other plugins / scripts / dashboards can shell out to and parse. ADR-0002 considered exposing `cost_report` / `cost_summary` as proper MCP tools but **deferred that** — adding MCP tools requires modifying `@claude-flow/cli` source, out of scope for plugin-local work. This script is the equivalent: same data, exposed via a stdout JSON contract. ## When to use - Another plugin needs a snapshot of cost state — it shells out to `summary.mjs --format json` and parses. - A dashboard / Slackbot fetches a one-line cost rollup. - Quick "where am I right now?" view that pulls from every cost-tracker source (cost-tracking + federation-spend). ## Output contract (JSON, stable) ```json { "exportedAt": "<ISO>", "total_cost_usd": 1546.36, "sessionCount": 1, "conversationCount": 1, "byTier": { "haiku": 0, "sonnet": 0, "opus": 1546.36, "unknown": 0 }, "byModel": { "claude-opus-4-7": { "tier": "opus", "cost_usd": 1546.36, "messages": 1597, "input_tokens": 3090, "output_tokens": 3295940, "cache_creation_input_tokens": 10659599, "cache_read_input_tokens": 732833690 } }, "topSession": { "sessionId": "1dba3b8c-...", "total_cost_usd": 1546.36, "messageCo

What does the cost-summary skill do?
Single-shot programmatic dump of all cost data — total spend, per-tier, top session, budget status, federation aggregate. JSON or markdown.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill cost-summary --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ruvnet/ruflo, a repository with 67,015 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
