Frequently asked questions about ai-spend-optimizer

What does the ai-spend-optimizer skill do?

Audits your AI coding tool costs across GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other subscriptions. Analyzes usage patterns, calculates real monthly costs under token-based billing, flags budget risk, and generates a concrete optimization plan — including when switching tools makes financial sense. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the ai-spend-optimizer skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install ai-spend-optimizer` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/ai-spend-optimizer/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does ai-spend-optimizer work with?

ai-spend-optimizer runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the ai-spend-optimizer skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use ai-spend-optimizer after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/ai-spend-optimizer` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the ai-spend-optimizer skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
