cost-advise

Analyze Claude Code and Codex usage logs to identify spending drivers, including cache usage, model choices, reasoning, and long sessions. Receive evidence-backed recommendations and hypothetical savings estimates to help decide which changes to try.

OriginalShow the original description

Optimisation findings from your own Claude Code and Codex logs — low cache hit ratio, 1-hour cache writes that did not pay back, sub-agents on a top-tier model, Codex reasoning share, bloated sessions — each with evidence and a what-if saving. Use when asked how to cut spend or why it is high.

See how to install

Good for

  • Investigating unexpectedly high agent costs
  • Reviewing cache usage
  • Reconsidering models used by sub-agents
  • Prioritizing cost reduction options

Rules for presenting findings

  • Savings are what-if repricings of the same tokens at another rate. They say nothing about quality; tell the user to spot-check before switching a model.
  • A finding with saving n/a has no defensible number (no measured delta exists). Do not invent one.
  • Do not change settings, models or CLAUDE.md on the user's behalf; present the action and let them choose.
  • Prefer the largest controllable lever first: cache discipline, then model tier for sub-agents, then reasoning effort, then context size.
  • Pair with cost-ledger for the totals and cost-session to drill into one expensive session.

adr-create

FreeSummary

Create an Architecture Decision Record, a document for recording important design choices, with the next sequential number. It generates a Markdown template, registers the record in AgentDB, and links related decisions found through search.

  • Record the reasoning behind adopting a technology
  • Start an ADR for an API or data model change
  • Document an infrastructure decision

adr-index

FreeSummary

Build a searchable index and relationship graph from ADRs, records of architectural decisions. Import two supported document formats, refresh existing metadata without duplicate relationships, and review summaries of statuses, missing references, and inconsistencies.

  • Index ADRs imported from another project
  • Refresh a graph that differs from files on disk
  • Set up ADR tracking in an existing codebase

adr-reindex

FreeSummary

Rebuild the index of ADRs, records of architectural decisions, after files or relationship lines are deleted. It clears stored records and relationships, indexes the files still present, and checks that the final record count matches.

  • Rebuild the index after deleting an ADR file
  • Remove stale relationships after editing an ADR
  • Reconcile the ADR index on a schedule

adr-review

FreeSummary

Review code changes against accepted Architecture Decision Records, documents that capture agreed design choices. Report violations, outdated references, compliant changes, and areas without ADR coverage, then suggest code fixes or a new decision record where appropriate.

  • Check a pull request before merging
  • Review major code changes against agreed design decisions
  • Find references to superseded ADRs

adr-verify

FreeSummary

Check saved architecture decision records (ADRs) for broken references, circular replacement relationships, and inconsistent statuses. Use the results to verify imported records or stop a CI check when selected integrity rules fail.

  • Checking ADR integrity after import
  • Blocking CI when ADR issues are found
  • Reviewing ADR data before a release
