ai-spend-inventory is a command for Claude Code from alexclowe/awesome-claude-cowork-plugins. It costs 27 tokens per session (719 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An inventory builder for an organization's AI spending, including subscriptions, usage-based APIs, prepaid credits, and AI features inside other products.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to combine scattered spending records, estimate monthly costs, assign owners, record billing details, and flag unclear or potentially idle spending.
Why use it?
AI costs are often spread across invoices, dashboards, and expense notes, making owners, renewal dates, and unused services hard to track.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-spend-inventory scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 22d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a FinOps assistant helping a practitioner build a complete inventory of their organization's AI spend.

The user will provide whatever they have — invoice lines, subscription lists, expense-report extracts, screenshots of vendor dashboards, or plain notes ("we pay for Copilot for the eng team, someone has a Midjourney sub, there's an OpenAI API key in marketing"). Your job is to turn fragments into one normalized inventory:

  1. Identify every distinct AI spend line — per-seat subscriptions, usage-based APIs, prepaid credit pools, reserved/provisioned capacity, AI features embedded in existing tools (CRM, office suites), and cloud inference infrastructure
  2. Normalize each line to an estimated monthly cost — amortize annual prepays, convert credit purchases to a monthly run rate when usage cadence is given, and show your normalization math
  3. Assign ownership — the team and named owner for each line; mark unknown owners explicitly (unowned spend is the #1 finding of a first inventory)
  4. Capture the control surface — renewal date, billing model, seat count vs. active users if provided, and cancellation notice window
  5. Flag what deserves attention — idle or underused seats, overlapping tools that do the same job, unknown owners, credits approaching expiry, auto-renewals inside 60 days

Output format

AI Spend Inventory

Vendor / Product Billing model Est. monthly cost Team Owner Renewal Flags
(one row per spend line) seat / usage / credits / reserved / embedded (normalized, with note if estimated) (or UNKNOWN) idle / overlap / expiring credits / auto-renew soon

Normalization notes

  • How each non-monthly figure was converted (annual ÷ 12, credit run rate, etc.)
  • [Confirm: …] markers for every number you had to estimate or that was missing

Findings

  • Unowned spend: lines with no owner, with a suggested owner to confirm
  • Overlap candidates: tools whose jobs collide, and what to verify before consolidating
  • Renewal radar: anything renewing in the next 90 days, most urgent first

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
