teardown-and-cost

teardown-and-cost is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nebius/nebius-physical-ai. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,635 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for stopping cloud workloads and removing the infrastructure that supports them. It explains the required order for cancelling jobs, deleting agents and clusters, and cleaning up storage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when shutting down workbench runs, GPU agents, SkyPilot controllers, clusters, buckets, service accounts, and project configuration, including checks for leftover resources.
Why use it?
It prevents running jobs from being left behind and continuing to incur cloud charges after their infrastructure is removed.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

teardown-and-cost 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Teardown and cost hygiene

There is no npa cost and no npa quota command. Spend control here is procedural: run things in an order that cannot orphan resources, and audit for residue afterwards. The single most expensive mistake is destroying infrastructure while managed jobs are still running, which leaves jobs billing against resources nothing is tracking any more.

The ordering is not optional

Cancel workloads, then remove the things that host them, outermost last:

npa workbench workflow cancel <run-id> --project <alias> --json   # every run
npa agent destroy --project <alias> --name <name> --yes
npa skypilot cleanup-controller --project <alias> --context <context> --yes
npa cluster down --project <alias> --force
npa storage bucket delete --project <alias> --yes --wait
npa storage service-account delete --project <alias> --dry-run
npa storage service-account delete --project <alias> --yes
npa configure --forget-project <alias>
npa cleanup --full --yes --project <alias>

Cancel is repeat-safe — a run that never launched is a successful no-op — so there is no reason to skip it. cleanup-controller refuses while managed jobs are in progress and retries that specific refusal after the queue drains; treat the refusal as correct, not as something to force.

Deleting the project itself is separately opt-in and stays retained by default:

npa destroy --project <alias> --all --json          # plan only
npa destroy --project <alias> --all --yes           # execute, project retained
npa destroy --project <alias> --all --delete-project --yes --json

npa destroy --all without --delete-project --yes never deletes the project. Full details of the ownership gating live in skills/tools/nebius-infra/SKILL.md; this skill is the operational ordering and the audit.

What is cloud spend and what is only local clutter

Confusing these two wastes time and money in opposite directions.

Command Touches cloud spend Notes
npa cleanup No Local caches and state only, even with --yes
npa cleanup --full --yes No Also removes saved HF/Token Factory/NGC creds; read-only IAM verification
npa workbench workflow cancel Yes — stops it Repeat-safe
npa skypilot cleanup-controller Yes Shared; drains first
npa cluster down Yes Terraform-managed cluster and its nodes
npa agent destroy Yes Agent VM and its resources
npa storage bucket delete Yes Contents and versions included
npa destroy --all --delete-project --yes Yes Ownership-gated; all three flags required

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.

teardown-and-cost is a skill published in the GitHub repository nebius/nebius-physical-ai (29 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,635 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
