cost-advise
Optimisation findings from your own Claude Code and Codex logs — low cache hit ratio, 1-hour cache writes that did not pay back, sub-agents on a top-tier model, Codex reasoning share, bloated sessions — each with evidence and a what-if saving. Use when asked how to cut spend or why it is high.

## Rules for presenting findings
- Savings are **what-if repricings of the same tokens** at another rate. They say nothing about quality; tell the user to spot-check before switching a model.
- A finding with `saving n/a` has no defensible number (no measured delta exists). Do not invent one.
- Do not change settings, models or CLAUDE.md on the user's behalf; present the action and let them choose.
- Prefer the largest controllable lever first: cache discipline, then model tier for sub-agents, then reasoning effort, then context size.
- Pair with `cost-ledger` for the totals and `cost-session` to drill into one expensive session.
