cost-plan

cost-plan is a command for coding agents from kensaurus/cursor-kenji. It costs 19 tokens per session (174 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning audit for controlling costs and quota abuse in an application that uses large language models, which are systems that generate text or code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review runaway usage and produce a severity-ranked plan for adding cost and quota safeguards.
Why use it?
It finds risks such as unbounded loops, missing per-user limits, and absent budget caps before any limits are added.

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-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 4d 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

LLM Cost Guardrails Plan

Run the plan-llm-cost-guardrails skill: audit an LLM-powered app for runaway-cost and quota-abuse risk (unbounded loops, missing per-user limits, no budget caps), then produce a guardrail plan. Audit and plan only — add no limits until the plan is approved.

Emit findings ranked by severity with concrete file:line locations and a phased checklist. After approval, execute with backend-patterns and audit-langfuse-llm.

The full playbook lives in the plan-llm-cost-guardrails skill.

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.
