cost-aware-llm-pipeline

cost-aware-llm-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lidge-jun/cli-jaw-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,642 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

Guidance for reducing the cost of applications that call large language models through an API. It covers choosing models by task difficulty, tracking budgets, retrying failed requests, and reusing cached prompts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or improving an LLM API pipeline with model selection, budget controls, retry handling, and prompt caching.
Why use it?
It helps avoid spending the same amount on every request and limits waste from repeated prompts or unnecessary retries. It also makes API spending easier to monitor.

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-aware-llm-pipeline 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.

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.
