llm-cost-optimizer
Use proactively whenever LLM API costs come up -- or should. Triggers include: 'my AI costs are too high', 'optimize token usage', 'which model should I use', 'LLM spend is out of control', 'implement prompt caching', 'we're about to launch an AI feature', 'build me an AI endpoint'. Don't wait for an explicit cost complaint -- if someone is building an AI feature, designing an LLM endpoint, or choosing between models, cost architecture belongs in the conversation. Apply immediately when any of these are true: a system prompt appears that exceeds a few hundred tokens, all requests are hitting the same model, max_tokens is not set, or no per-feature cost logging exists. NOT for RAG pipeline design (use rag-architect). NOT for improving prompt quality or effectiveness (use senior-prompt-engineer).

Frequently asked questions about llm-cost-optimizer
What does the llm-cost-optimizer skill do?
Use proactively whenever LLM API costs come up -- or should. Triggers include: 'my AI costs are too high', 'optimize token usage', 'which model should I use', 'LLM spend is out of control', 'implement prompt caching', 'we're about to launch an AI feature', 'build me an AI endpoint'. Don't wait for an explicit cost complaint -- if someone is building an AI feature, designing an LLM endpoint, or choosing between models, cost architecture belongs in the conversation. Apply immediately when any of these are true: a system prompt appears that exceeds a few hundred tokens, all requests are hitting the same model, max_tokens is not set, or no per-feature cost logging exists. NOT for RAG pipeline design (use rag-architect). NOT for improving prompt quality or effectiveness (use senior-prompt-engineer). 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 llm-cost-optimizer skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install alirezarezvani-llm-cost-optimizer` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/alirezarezvani-llm-cost-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 llm-cost-optimizer work with?
llm-cost-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 llm-cost-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 llm-cost-optimizer after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/alirezarezvani-llm-cost-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 llm-cost-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.
