Use CodexBar CLI local cost usage to summarize per-model usage for Codex or Claude, including the current (most recent) model or a full model breakdown. Trigger when asked for model-level usage/cost data from codexbar, or when you need a scriptable per-model summary from codexbar cost JSON.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a well-crafted skill description that clearly identifies the specific tool (CodexBar CLI), concrete capabilities (per-model usage summaries, model breakdowns), and explicit trigger conditions. It uses third-person voice appropriately and includes natural keywords that users would employ when requesting cost/usage data. The description is concise yet comprehensive.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'summarize per-model usage', 'current (most recent) model', 'full model breakdown', and 'scriptable per-model summary from codexbar cost JSON'. These are concrete, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('summarize per-model usage for Codex or Claude, including current model or full model breakdown') and when ('Trigger when asked for model-level usage/cost data from codexbar, or when you need a scriptable per-model summary from codexbar cost JSON'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes strong natural trigger terms: 'model-level usage', 'cost data', 'codexbar', 'per-model summary', 'cost JSON', 'Codex', 'Claude'. These cover the terms a user would naturally use when asking about usage costs from this specific tool. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive due to the specific tool name 'CodexBar CLI' and the narrow domain of per-model cost/usage summaries. Unlikely to conflict with other skills given the specific tool and data format references. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
87%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured, concise skill that provides actionable CLI commands and clear explanations of the current-model selection logic. Its main weakness is the lack of error handling or validation guidance—there's no mention of what to do when commands fail, JSON is malformed, or the provider flag is wrong. The content is otherwise efficient and well-organized.
Suggestions
Add brief error handling guidance: what does the script output when codexbar is not installed, the JSON is empty/malformed, or no modelBreakdowns exist?
Consider adding a short 'Troubleshooting' or 'Common errors' section to address likely failure modes (e.g., missing codexbar CLI, unsupported provider name).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient. Every section serves a purpose, there's no explanation of basic concepts, and the TODO note is appropriately brief. The skill assumes Claude's competence throughout. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable CLI commands with concrete flags and options. The examples cover multiple modes (current, all, json output) and multiple input methods (CLI, file, stdin), all copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The quick start provides a basic two-step sequence, and the 'Current model logic' section explains fallback behavior clearly. However, there are no validation checkpoints or error handling guidance—what happens if codexbar isn't installed, the JSON is malformed, or the provider is invalid? | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized into clear sections (Quick start, Current model logic, Inputs, Output) with a single-level reference to codexbar-cli.md for deeper CLI details. Appropriate for the skill's complexity. | 3 / 3 |
