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

inspect-billing-sources 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/normalize-billing-observations.mjs), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Inspect Billing Sources

Use this worker only after the developer asks to use bill evidence, email, an invoice, a usage export, or an authenticated billing website. This complements repo inspection: it finds spend hotspots from what the provider charged, then hands the result back to lower-anthropic-bill.

Safety Gates

  • Get explicit approval for the exact read scope before using email, browser, or account surfaces. Name the provider, account, date range, and search/query or page class before reading.
  • Prefer exports or screenshots the developer provides. Use Gmail, browser, Chrome, or another connector only when the coding harness exposes that tool and the user approves it in the current thread.
  • Read billing metadata only: provider, period, invoice amount, usage amount, model, token counts, cache usage fields, request count, and route labels if already visible. Do not read prompts, completions, traces, API keys, team member lists, customer names, repo names, domains, support tickets, or payment card details.
  • Do not send emails, click billing mutations, create API keys, change plans, download private reports, or open raw logs without a separate explicit approval for that exact action.
  • Store local artifacts under .understudy/billing-sources/. Redact or omit account identifiers and invoice IDs unless the developer explicitly requests a private local record.

Intake

Ask for at most one missing input:

  • a local usage export, invoice CSV/PDF, or billing screenshot path;
  • permission to search email for provider billing messages in a narrow date range;
  • permission to inspect a logged-in billing or usage page through the available browser harness.

If no email or browser tool is available, say so and ask for an export or a small manually copied totals table.

Flow

  1. Resolve supported surfaces. Check the current harness for email and browser tools. If unsupported, use files or manual totals. Do not install a connector just for this path unless the developer explicitly asks.
  2. Set the scope. Propose the narrowest source: for email, a provider billing query and date range; for browser, one billing/usage page; for files, one export directory. Wait for approval before reading account surfaces.
  3. Extract observations. Record only billing fields into .understudy/billing-sources/observations.json using this shape:

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.
