cost-reflectlisted

Use when the user asks about cost structure or composition: which token types cost the most, how cache reads compare to output costs, which sessions are draining budget, or what cold starts add up to. This is the 'why is my bill high' skill. It audits where spend goes across token categories (cache_read, cache_write, output, input) and per-session attribution. Invoke for questions like 'cost breakdown', 'which sessions are expensive', 'what's driving spend', or 'cold start costs'. Not for week-over-week trend lines (use hermit-evolution) or simple total-spend summaries.

# Cost Reflect Runs a structural cost audit over the last 7 days of `cost-log.jsonl` and delivers the result to the operator. The math is done by a script — your job is to run it and deliver the output through the right channel. ## Step 0 — Channel reply If this skill was invoked from a channel-arrived message (the inbound prompt contains a `<channel source="...">` tag), reply via that channel's reply tool. Otherwise emit to conversation. ## Step 1 — Run the analyzer ``` node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/cost-reflect.js .claude-code-hermit ``` Capture stdout. If the output starts with "No cost data", report that message and stop — there's nothing to send. ## Step 2 — Relay the report The script output is already formatted and capped at 1500 characters. Relay it verbatim. Don't summarize, reformat, or add commentary — the output is the report. ## Step 3 — Channel delivery When this skill fires from a routine or proactively (i.e., not from a direct operator conversation), deliver the report through the operator's channel: 1. Resolve the outbound channel: ``` node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/resolve-outbound-channel.js .claude-code-hermit ``` Parse stdout as JSON. On success (`"id"` and `"chat_id"` present), send via `mcp__plugin_<id>_<id>__reply` with `{ chat_id, text: <report> }` where `<id>` is the resolved channel name. 2. If the script exits non-zero or returns `{"error":"no_reachable_channel"}`: if `push_notifications === true` in `config.json`,
