cost-aware-llm-pipeline

cost-aware-llm-pipeline is a reusable AI skill focused on a specific workflow. name: cost-aware-llm-pipeline

The skill packages instructions, conventions, and task-specific guidance so an agent can execute the job more consistently. description: Cost optimization patterns for LLM API usage — model routing by task complexity, budget tracking, retry logic, and prompt caching. Patterns for controlling LLM API costs while maintaining quality. Combines model routing, budget tracking, retry logic, and prompt caching into a composable pipeline. - Building applications that call LLM APIs (Claude, GPT, etc.)

In practice, this skill is best suited for users who need repeatable execution with fewer setup steps and less ambiguity. - Processing batches of items with varying complexity - Need to stay within a budget for API spend - Optimizing cost without sacrificing quality on complex tasks Automatically select cheaper models for simple tasks, reserving expensive models for complex ones.
