Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned latestaiagents/agent-skills at 6120c5539d.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The Token Cost Analyzer skill estimates the token usage and associated cost for prompts given to large language models. It allows users to predict expenses before running complex AI tasks, optimizing prompt design for efficiency. This helps in managing budget constraints and improving overall performance by avoiding unnecessary spending on tokens.

When to use it

  • Complex Prompt Design: Before submitting lengthy or intricate prompts to an LLM, estimate the token cost.
  • Budget Management: When working within a limited budget for AI tasks, predict costs accurately.
  • Prompt Optimization: Identify areas in prompts where token usage can be reduced without sacrificing quality.
  • Experimentation: Quickly assess the potential cost of different prompt variations during experimentation phases.

Key capabilities

  • Token Counting: Accurately calculates the number of tokens in a given text string.
  • Cost Estimation: Estimates the cost based on specified LLM pricing models (not detailed).
  • Prompt Analysis: Provides insights into token usage within prompts.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this prompt for token count and estimated cost: 'Translate the following English text to French: [long paragraph of text]'."
  • "How many tokens are in the sentence, 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'?"
  • "Estimate the cost of using a 1000-token prompt with the GPT-3.5 model."

Tips & gotchas

  • Accuracy depends on the underlying LLM pricing information which may change. Always verify results against official provider documentation for precise cost calculations.
