# Cost Budget Check
Reads `cost-tracking:budget-config` for the project's budget limit, sums `total_cost_usd` across `session-*` records produced by `cost-track`, computes utilization, and emits the **measured** 4-tier alert ladder (50% INFO / 75% WARNING / 90% CRITICAL / 100% HARD_STOP).
Until P2 (this skill) landed, the README documented the alert ladder but no code checked it. Now this skill is the gate.
## When to use
- After every cost-track run, to surface the alert level.
- Before spawning a swarm — if utilization ≥ 90%, escalate to `/cost-optimize` first.
- Cron-friendly via `/loop 30m` for continuous monitoring.
