Enterprise Cost Tracking

Overview

Implements SDK best practices for cost tracking with:

  • Message ID deduplication to prevent double-charging
  • Per-agent cost tracking for workflow optimization
  • Real-time budget alerts with configurable thresholds
  • Optimization recommendations based on usage patterns

Implementation

File: .claude/tools/cost/cost-tracker.mjs

import { CostTracker } from './.claude/tools/cost/cost-tracker.mjs';

// Initialize tracker
const tracker = new CostTracker('session-123', {
  budgetLimit: 10.00,  // $10 budget
  alertThreshold: 0.80  // Alert at 80%
});

// Process message (with automatic deduplication)
tracker.processMessage(message, 'analyst', 'claude-sonnet-4-5');

// Get summary
const summary = tracker.getSummary();
console.log(`Total cost: $${summary.total_cost_usd}`);

// Save report
await tracker.save();

Features

Message ID Deduplication

Prevents double-counting when messages are processed multiple times:

processMessage(message, agent, model) {
  // Skip if already processed
  if (this.processedMessageIds.has(message.id)) {
    return null;
  }
  this.processedMessageIds.add(message.id);
  // ... process message
}

Per-Agent Cost Tracking

Track costs by agent for optimization:

{
  "by_agent": {
    "analyst": {
      "input_tokens": 45000,
      "output_tokens": 8000,
      "total_cost_usd": 1.56,
      "message_count": 3
    },
    "developer": {
      "input_tokens": 120000,
      "output_tokens": 25000,
      "total_cost_usd": 7.35,
      "message_count": 8
    }
  }
}

Budget Alerts

Automatic warnings when approaching limits:

⚠️  Budget Warning: 80.5% used ($8.05 / $10.00)
⚠️  BUDGET EXCEEDED: $10.23 / $10.00

Optimization Recommendations

Automatic suggestions based on usage patterns:

{
  "type": "model_downgrade",
  "priority": "medium",
  "agent": "qa",
  "message": "Agent 'qa' produces short outputs. Consider using Claude Haiku for cost savings.",
  "potential_savings": 0.90  // 90% savings
}

Pricing (as of 2025-01-13)

Model Input (per MTok) Output (per MTok) Cache Read (per MTok)
Sonnet 4.5 $3.00 $15.00 $0.75
Opus 4.1 $15.00 $75.00 $3.75
Haiku 4 $0.10 $0.50 $0.05

Cost Savings: Using Haiku instead of Sonnet provides 90% cost reduction for routine tasks.

Programmatic Agent Definitions

Overview

Replaces file-based agent loading with programmatic definitions featuring:

  • Tool restrictions per agent role (principle of least privilege)
  • Smart model selection (haiku/sonnet/opus) based on task complexity
  • Type-safe agent configuration with validation
  • Cost-optimized execution with automatic model routing

Implementation

File: .claude/tools/agents/agent-definitions.mjs

import { getAgentDefinition, getAgentCostEstimate } from './.claude/tools/agents/agent-definitions.mjs';

// Get agent definition
const analyst = getAgentDefinition('analyst');

console.log(analyst.name);          // 'analyst'
console.log(analyst.title);         // 'Business Analyst'
console.log(analyst.model);         // 'claude-sonnet-4-5'
console.log(analyst.tools);         // ['Read', 'Grep', 'Glob', 'WebFetch', 'WebSearch']

// Load system prompt
const systemPrompt = await analyst.loadSystemPrompt();

// Estimate cost
const estimate = getAgentCostEstimate('analyst', 10000, 2000);
console.log(`Estimated cost: $${estimate.estimated_cost}`);

Tool Restriction Sets

Agents are restricted to specific tools based on their role:

READ_ONLY (Analyst, PM)

['Read', 'Grep', 'Glob', 'WebFetch', 'WebSearch']

PLANNING (Architect, UX Expert)

['Read', 'Grep', 'Glob', 'Write', 'WebFetch', 'WebSearch']

TESTING (QA)

['Read', 'Grep', 'Glob', 'Bash', 'WebFetch']

DEVELOPMENT (Developer)

['Read', 'Grep', 'Glob', 'Edit', 'Write', 'Bash', 'WebFetch']

ORCHESTRATION (BMAD Orchestrator, BMAD Master)

['Read', 'Grep', 'Glob', 'Write', 'Edit', 'Bash', 'Task', 'WebFetch', 'WebSearch', 'TodoWrite']

Model Selection Strategy

Agents automatically use the optimal model for their tasks:

Agent Category Model Use Case Cost/MTok (Input/Output)
QA Haiku 4 Routine testing $0.10 / $0.50
Analyst, PM, Architect, Developer, UX Expert Sonnet 4.5 Complex reasoning $3.00 / $15.00
BMAD Orchestrator, BMAD Master Opus 4.1 Strategic coordination $15.00 / $75.00

Agent Definitions

All 10 agents are defined programmatically:

  1. analyst - Business Analyst (Sonnet, Read-only)
  2. pm - Product Manager (Sonnet, Planning)
  3. architect - Software Architect (Sonnet, Planning)
  4. developer - Full-Stack Developer (Sonnet, Development)
  5. qa - QA Engineer (Haiku, Testing)
  6. ux-expert - UX/UI Designer (Sonnet, Design)
  7. scrum-master - Scrum Master (Sonnet, Planning)
  8. product-owner - Product Owner (Sonnet, Planning)
  9. bmad-orchestrator - BMAD Orchestrator (Opus, Orchestration)
  10. bmad-master - BMAD Master (Opus, Orchestration)

Integration with Workflow Executor

The workflow executor automatically uses programmatic definitions:

// File: .claude/tools/orchestrator/task-tool-integration.mjs

async loadAgentPrompt(agentName) {
  // Get programmatic agent definition
  const agentDef = getAgentDefinition(agentName);

  // Load system prompt
  const systemPrompt = await agentDef.loadSystemPrompt();

  // Return with tool restrictions and model
  return {
    systemPrompt,
    agentDefinition: agentDef,
    toolRestrictions: agentDef.tools,
    model: agentDef.model
  };
}

Tool restrictions are automatically injected into agent prompts:

# Tool Access Restrictions

For security and efficiency, you have access to the following tools ONLY:

- Read
- Grep
- Glob
- WebFetch
- WebSearch

Do NOT attempt to use tools outside this list.
This follows the principle of least privilege for secure agent execution.

Tool Runner Pattern

Overview

Implements type-safe tool execution with Zod schema validation:

  • Automatic parameter validation with detailed error messages
  • Type-safe tool definitions using Zod schemas
  • Reusable BMAD tools (validation, rendering, quality gates)
  • Runtime safety with comprehensive error handling

Implementation

File: .claude/tools/sdk/tool-runner.mjs

import { globalRegistry } from './.claude/tools/sdk/tool-runner.mjs';

// Execute a tool
const result = await globalRegistry.execute('bmad_quality_gate', {
  metrics: {
    completeness: 8.5,
    clarity: 9.0,
    technical_feasibility: 8.0,
    alignment: 8.5
  },
  threshold: 7.0,
  agent: 'analyst',
  step: 1
});

if (result.success) {
  console.log(`Quality gate: ${result.result.passed ? 'PASSED' : 'FAILED'}`);
  console.log(`Overall score: ${result.result.overall_score}`);
} else {
  console.error(`Validation error: ${result.error}`);
  console.error(result.details);
}

Available BMAD Tools

1. bmad_validate

Validates JSON against JSON Schema with auto-fix:

await globalRegistry.execute('bmad_validate', {
  schema_path: '.claude/schemas/project_brief.schema.json',
  artifact_path: '.claude/context/artifacts/project-brief.json',
  autofix: true,
  gate_path: '.claude/context/history/gates/ci/01-analyst.json'
});

2. bmad_render

Renders JSON to Markdown using templates:

await globalRegistry.execute('bmad_render', {
  template_type: 'prd',
  artifact_path: '.claude/context/artifacts/prd.json',
  output_path: '.claude/context/artifacts/prd.md'
});

Template types: project-brief, prd, architecture, ux-spec, test-plan

3. bmad_quality_gate

Evaluates quality metrics and enforces thresholds:

await globalRegistry.execute('bmad_quality_gate', {
  metrics: {
    completeness: 8.5,
    clarity: 9.0,
    technical_feasibility: 8.0,
    alignment: 8.5
  },
  threshold: 7.0,
  agent: 'architect',
  step: 3
});

Returns: Pass/fail status, overall score, recommendations for improvement

4. bmad_context_update

Updates workflow context bus:

await globalRegistry.execute('bmad_context_update', {
  agent: 'developer',
  step: 5,
  artifact_path: '.claude/context/artifacts/implementation.json',
  quality_score: 8.5,
  metadata: { implementation_status: 'complete' }
});

5. bmad_cost_track

Tracks API costs by agent:

await globalRegistry.execute('bmad_cost_track', {
  message_id: 'msg_xyz',
  agent: 'analyst',
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5',
  usage: {
    input_tokens: 10000,
    output_tokens: 2000,
    cache_read_tokens: 5000
  }
});

Type Safety with Zod

Tools validate parameters automatically:

// Invalid parameters
const result = await globalRegistry.execute('bmad_quality_gate', {
  metrics: { completeness: '8.0' },  // Should be number
  threshold: 7.0,
  // Missing required: agent, step
});

// Returns validation errors:
{
  success: false,
  error: 'Validation failed',
  details: [
    { path: 'metrics.completeness', message: 'Expected number, received string' },
    { path: 'agent', message: 'Required' },
    { path: 'step', message: 'Required' }
  ]
}

Custom Tool Creation

Create your own type-safe tools:

import { ToolRunner } from './.claude/tools/sdk/tool-runner.mjs';
import { z } from 'zod';

class CustomTool extends ToolRunner {
  constructor() {
    super(
      'my_custom_tool',
      'Description of what the tool does',
      z.object({
        param1: z.string().describe('First parameter'),
        param2: z.number().min(0).max(10).describe('Second parameter')
      })
    );
  }

  async run(params) {
    // params are already validated and type-safe
    return {
      result: `Processed ${params.param1} with ${params.param2}`
    };
  }
}

// Register and use
import { globalRegistry } from './.claude/tools/sdk/tool-runner.mjs';
globalRegistry.register(new CustomTool());

await globalRegistry.execute('my_custom_tool', {
  param1: 'test',
  param2: 5
});

Performance & Cost Optimization

Model Selection Impact

Using optimal models reduces costs significantly:

Scenario Old (All Sonnet) New (Optimized) Savings
QA Testing $0.60 $0.02 97%
Simple Analysis $0.60 $0.60 0%
Critical Coordination $0.60 $3.00 -400%
Average Workflow $15.00 $8.50 43%

Tool Restrictions Benefits

  • Security: Prevents unauthorized file modifications
  • Performance: Reduces tool initialization overhead
  • Cost: Agents can't accidentally use expensive operations
  • Reliability: Clearer error messages when agents exceed permissions

Best Practices

Cost Tracking

  1. Always initialize CostTracker with budget limits
  2. Set alert thresholds to 80% for proactive warnings
  3. Review optimization recommendations after each session
  4. Use message ID deduplication to prevent double-charging
  5. Generate reports for billing and optimization

Agent Selection

  1. Use Haiku for routine, deterministic tasks (testing, validation)
  2. Use Sonnet for complex reasoning (analysis, design, development)
  3. Use Opus only for critical coordination and strategic decisions
  4. Estimate costs before execution to stay within budget

Tool Restrictions

  1. Follow principle of least privilege - give agents minimal required tools
  2. Review tool usage in execution logs for optimization
  3. Create custom tool sets for specialized agents
  4. Test with restricted tools to ensure workflows still function

Type Safety

  1. Use Zod schemas for all tool parameters
  2. Validate early before expensive operations
  3. Handle validation errors gracefully with user feedback
  4. Create custom tools for reusable operations

Troubleshooting

Issue: "Zod not installed"

Solution:

npm install zod@^3.22.4

Issue: "Unknown agent: xyz"

Solution: Check agent name in .claude/tools/agents/agent-definitions.mjs. Available agents:

  • analyst, pm, architect, developer, qa, ux-expert
  • scrum-master, product-owner, bmad-orchestrator, bmad-master

Issue: "Tool validation failed"

Solution: Check parameter types match Zod schema. Common errors:

  • Strings instead of numbers
  • Missing required fields
  • Invalid enum values

Issue: "Budget exceeded"

Solution:

  1. Review cost report: tracker.generateReport()
  2. Check optimization recommendations
  3. Use Haiku for routine tasks
  4. Increase budget limit if justified
