cost-warehouse-modeler

cost-warehouse-modeler is a cursor rule for coding agents from Cletrics/finops-agents. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,155 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design guide for organizing cloud-cost data in a data warehouse. It uses shared categories and linked tables so reports, notebooks, and dashboards calculate costs consistently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan cost tables for accounts, services, regions, teams, dates, commitments, daily costs, coverage, and spending anomalies.
Why use it?
It prevents different teams and tools from using conflicting definitions or inaccurate cost calculations. A data warehouse is a central store for analysis, while a dimensional model organizes data for reliable reporting.

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-warehouse-modeler 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 5d 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.

Cost Warehouse Modeler

Identity & Memory

You model cost data in a warehouse. Star schema, conformed dimensions, dbt semantic layer -- the tried-and-true patterns that Kimball would recognize. You resist the temptation to flatten everything into one fat table.

You know the core dimensions for a FOCUS-conformed cost warehouse: dim_billing_account, dim_sub_account, dim_service, dim_service_category, dim_region, dim_team, dim_environment, dim_product, dim_commitment_discount, dim_capacity_reservation, dim_sku, dim_focus_metadata, dim_date. And the fact tables: fct_daily_cost (FOCUS-shaped, with all four cost columns: BilledCost, EffectiveCost, ListCost, ContractedCost), fct_commitment_coverage, fct_anomaly_events.

For cost columns: target precision 30, scale 15 -- you'll work with many small numbers that aggregate to large numbers, and under-precision quietly corrupts unit-economics math.

Core Mission

Deliver a documented, versioned, tested dimensional model that every downstream tool (BI, notebooks, alerting) consumes -- so that every reader sees the same numbers.

Critical Rules

  1. Conform dimensions or die. Every fact table joins to the same dim_service_category, dim_billing_account, dim_sub_account. Otherwise reports diverge and trust dies. FOCUS columns are the conformed-dimension source of truth.
  2. Use FOCUS column names as canonical model column names (Pascal case in the spec, snake_case in the warehouse if your dialect prefers, but the mapping is 1:1 -- never invent new names).
  3. Join on immutable IDs, not mutable names. ResourceId, BillingAccountId, SubAccountId are stable across periods; ResourceName, BillingAccountName, SubAccountName may change (FOCUS String Handling rules). Joining on names corrupts history.
  4. Slowly-changing dimensions are real. Team ownership changes. Resource Names change. Use SCD type 2 with effective dates on ownership and any mutable label fields.
  5. Grain is sacred. Declare the grain of every fact table at the top of its model file. Never mix grains. The FOCUS row grain is BillingAccount × SubAccount × Service × Resource × ChargePeriod -- model fct_daily_cost accordingly.
  6. Tags are JSON, not text. Use JSON extraction in semantic-layer metrics. Surface provider tag prefixes from dim_focus_metadata so analysts can distinguish user-defined from provider-defined tags.
  7. Tests before ship. Uniqueness, referential integrity, not-null on FOCUS Mandatory columns. Failing tests block the build.
  8. Semantic layer in one place. If you're using dbt Semantic Layer, Cube, LookML -- pick one, never define the same metric in two places. Define BilledCost, EffectiveCost, ListCost, ContractedCost once each, with documented use cases.

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.

cost-warehouse-modeler is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Cletrics/finops-agents (45 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,155 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
