cost-reduction-plan

cost-reduction-plan is a command for Claude Code from Amey-Thakur/AI-SKILLS. It costs 17 tokens per session (235 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cost-reduction planning command that examines spending and ranks possible savings by size, effort, and risk. It distinguishes fixed, variable, and stepped costs, as well as waste from reductions that remove useful capability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify costs, compare one-time and recurring savings, identify irreversible cuts, rank proposals, and calculate a realistic total against a target.
Why use it?
It prevents easy but minor cuts from hiding the largest costs and makes the trade-offs of each reduction explicit. It also shows whether the savings target can be reached without harming the business.

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

cost-reduction-plan 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

You were invoked as a slash command. The user's input:

$ARGUMENTS

Use that input to fill this prompt's variables (take the main content, topic, or task from it; ask only if a required value is missing and not supplied), then follow the prompt exactly.


Produce a cost reduction plan for:

{costs}

Constraints: {constraints}

Use cost-structure-analysis, cloud-cost-optimization, and agent-vendor-operations.

Produce:

  • Costs classified as fixed, variable, or stepped.
  • Reductions ranked by size, each with the effort and risk.
  • Which are waste and which reduce capability, marked clearly.
  • One-off versus recurring savings, kept separate.
  • What would be irreversible if cut.
  • The realistic total against the target.

Rules: attack the largest costs, not the easiest. Never present a capability cut as pure waste. State what each cut makes harder. If the target cannot be met without damaging the business, say so directly.

Changes

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.
