🚨 EXECUTION NOTICE FOR CLAUDE

When you invoke this command via SlashCommand, the system returns THESE INSTRUCTIONS below.

YOU are the executor. This is NOT an autonomous subprocess.

• ✅ The phases below are YOUR execution checklist
• ✅ YOU must run each phase immediately using tools (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, TodoWrite)
• ✅ Complete ALL phases before considering this command done
• ❌ DON't wait for "the command to complete" - YOU complete it by executing the phases
• ❌ DON't treat this as status output - it IS your instruction set

Immediately after SlashCommand returns, start executing Phase 0, then Phase 1, etc.

See @CLAUDE.md section "SlashCommand Execution - YOU Are The Executor" for detailed explanation.

Security Requirements

CRITICAL: All generated files must follow security rules:

@docs/security/SECURITY-RULES.md

Key requirements:

• Never hardcode API keys or secrets
• Use placeholders: your_service_key_here
• Protect .env files with .gitignore
• Create .env.example with placeholders only
• Document key acquisition for users

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Goal: Add cost tracking and usage monitoring to an existing Claude Agent SDK application

Core Principles:

• Understand existing code before modifying
• Load SDK documentation for cost tracking patterns
• Follow official SDK examples

Phase 1: Discovery Goal: Gather context about the project

Actions:

• Load SDK cost tracking documentation: Read SDK documentation: ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/ai-dev-marketplace/plugins/claude-agent-sdk/docs/sdk-documentation.md
• Check if project path provided in $ARGUMENTS
• Read package.json or requirements.txt to confirm SDK is installed
• Identify main application files

Phase 2: Analysis Goal: Understand current implementation

Actions:

• Read main application files
• Check if cost tracking is already implemented
• Identify query() function calls
• Determine language (TypeScript or Python)

Phase 3: Planning Goal: Design cost tracking implementation

Actions:

• Determine what metrics to track (tokens, costs, requests)
• Plan storage strategy for usage data
• Identify files to modify
• Present plan to user for confirmation

Phase 4: Implementation Goal: Add cost tracking with agent

Actions:

Invoke the claude-agent-features agent to add cost tracking.

The agent should:

• Fetch cost tracking documentation: https://docs.claude.com/en/api/agent-sdk/cost-tracking
• Implement usage tracking in query() calls
• Add cost calculation logic
• Implement usage data storage
• Add reporting and analytics functions

Provide the agent with:

• Context: Project language and structure
• Target: $ARGUMENTS (project path)
• Expected output: Updated files with cost tracking

Phase 5: Review Goal: Verify cost tracking works correctly

Actions:

• Invoke appropriate verifier agent:
  • TypeScript: claude-agent-verifier-ts
  • Python: claude-agent-verifier-py
• Check that cost tracking patterns match SDK documentation
• Verify usage data is captured properly

Phase 6: Summary Goal: Document what was added

Actions:

• Summarize cost tracking capabilities added
• Show example usage data access
• Link to SDK cost tracking documentation
• Suggest testing with usage monitoring
