ecc-tools-cost-audit
Evidence-first ecc Tools burn and billing audit workflow. Use when investigating runaway PR creation, quota bypass, premium-model leakage, duplicate jobs, or GitHub App cost spikes in the ecc Tools repo.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# ecc Tools Cost Audit Use this skill when the user suspects the ecc Tools GitHub App is burning cost, over-creating PRs, bypassing usage limits, or routing free users into premium analysis paths. This is a focused operator workflow for the sibling [ecc-Tools](../../ecc-Tools) repo. It is not a generic billing skill and it is not a repo-wide code review pass. ## Skill Stack Pull these ecc-native skills into the workflow when relevant: - `autonomous-loops` for bounded multi-step audits that cross webhooks, queues, billing, and retries - `agentic-engineering` for tracing the request path into discrete, provable units - `customer-billing-ops` when repo behavior and customer-impact math must be separated cleanly - `search-first` before inventing helpers or re-implementing repo-local utilities - `security-review` when auth, usage gates, entitlements, or secrets are touched - `verification-loop` for proving rerun safety and exact post-fix state - `tdd-workflow` when the fix needs regression coverage in the worker, router, or billing paths ## When To Use - user says ecc Tools burn rate, PR recursion, over-created PRs, usage-limit bypass, or premium-model leakage - the task is in the sibli

Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill ecc-tools-cost-audit --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 mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 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.
