ot-cost-analysis

ot-cost-analysis is a skill for Codex from 1102tools-dev/federal-contracting-skills. It costs 165 tokens per session (4,421 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for estimating and analyzing costs for an Other Transaction, a U.S. government agreement commonly used for prototypes or research outside standard procurement contracts. It separates project cost, contributions, fees, payments, and government funding.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build milestone-based cost estimates, cost-share analyses, funding profiles, proposed-price comparisons, and budget support for research or production follow-on agreements.
Why use it?
It makes the arithmetic and supporting evidence visible without making the official legal, eligibility, or price-reasonableness decisions reserved for the Agreements Officer.

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

ot-cost-analysis 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/recompute_expected_values.py, scripts/validate_workbook.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

OT Cost Analysis

Purpose and operating boundary

Build an auditable, formula-driven cost analysis organized by OT milestone. Separate total project cost, the non-Federal contribution, any consortium or administrative fee, the proposed payment amount, and the Government funding requirement. Use market evidence and arithmetic to support the Agreements Officer without originating the authority path, eligibility finding, significant-participation finding, successful-completion finding, or price-reasonableness determination.

Do not:

  • Decide whether 10 U.S.C. 4021, 4022, or 4022(f) applies.
  • Decide whether a participant is a nontraditional defense contractor, nonprofit research institution, small business, or significant participant.
  • Invent a cost-share ratio, exceptional-circumstances determination, consortium fee, learning curve, indirect-rate structure, or proposed-price basis.
  • State that a proposed amount is fair, reasonable, acceptable, competitive, aggressive, premium, or justified.
  • Treat a BLS or CALC+ benchmark as the performer's required rate.
  • Call the output a FAR 15.404 analysis or an IGCE.

When a sentence would conclude the Agreements Officer's judgment, replace it with the source data, the variance, the scenario range, and the decision left open.

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.
