billing-and-burn-ops

billing-and-burn-ops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxoesneon/Ciel. It costs 20 tokens per session (507 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A framework for checking whether system usage, token costs, and customer revenue match what the code and billing data show.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for tracing webhook-to-worker flows, auditing token consumption, checking customer entitlements, and deciding whether to refund, preserve, or take no action.
Why use it?
It helps find wasted token use, repeated failures, incorrect premium access, and billing problems before they cause larger costs or refunds.

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

billing-and-burn-ops 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 7d 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

CIEL ADAPTATION: Billing & Burn Ops (The Value Layer)

This skill formalizes the auditing of system costs and revenue integrity. it prioritizes code-backed truth and identifying high-burn failure patterns.

Burn Auditing (ECC Tools)

  1. Trace Ingress: Map every webhook -> queue -> worker path before suggesting fixes.
  2. Recursion Risk: Treat app-generated branches/PRs as priority-0 recursion risks.
  3. Premium Leakage: Verify if capped/free users are hitting premium analyzers (e.g., Opus).
  4. Retry Burn: Fix deterministic failures that waste tokens on repeated non-transient errors.

Revenue & Pricing Truth

  • Paid Sales: Rely ONLY on live billing data or timestamped snapshots.
  • Product Truth: Inspect the entitlement code path. PROHIBIT assuming "team billing" exists just because it's in the marketing copy.
  • Customer Impact: Distinguish between accidental duplicates and deliberate multi-seat intent before refunding.

Decision Format

Every audit MUST end with:

  • Snapshot: Timestamped revenue/anomalies.
  • Product Truth: What the code actually does vs marketing claims.
  • Decision: Refund, Preserve, or No-op.
  • Gap: The exact backlog item required to fix the workflow.

Anti-Patterns

  • Diagnosis via Marketing: Claiming a feature works because it's on the landing page.
  • Refund-First: Refunding without classifying the issue, losing valuable intent data.
  • Expensive Failure: Spending $50 in tokens only to fail on a file-push conflict.

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.
