# vibe-billing-scan Find which OpenClaw run, session, or retry storm is costing you money. One command. No signup. Runs locally. ## When to Use Activate this skill when the user: - Says their API bill is higher than expected - Wants to know which run or session cost the most - Suspects a retry loop or rate-limit storm - Asks about token usage, spending, or waste - Uses phrases like: "why is my bill high", "find the bad run", "scan my spend", "check api costs", "retry loop", "bill shock" ## What This Does Runs `npx vibe-billing scan` against the user's local OpenClaw logs and API proxy data. Returns: 1. **Which session/run cost the most** — ranked by spend 2. **Retry storm detection** — flags runs where 429 errors caused expensive retry chains 3. **Context accumulation analysis** — shows sessions where the context window grew unusually large 4. **Looped tool call detection** — identifies tool calls that repeated more than expected 5. **Total spend summary** — across all tracked requests ## Quick Reference ``` npx vibe-billing scan # scan existing logs, no setup needed npx vibe-billing setup # install proxy for future runs (optional) npx vibe-billing status # show live runtime stats ``` ## Step-by-Step Instructions ### Step 1 — Run the scan Tell the user to run this in their terminal: ```bash npx vibe-billing scan ``` ### Step 2 — Interpret the output - Requests: total API calls tracked - Money Saved: estimated waste intercepted - Tokens Saved: tokens deduplicated or cached - Loops Blocked: retry storms stopped ### Step 3 — Identify the bad run Almost always caused by one of: 1. Retry storm — agent hit 429, retried multiple times, each retry re-sent full context 2. Long session — 30+ turn conversation where every message re-sent all prior context 3. Looped tool call — agent called the same tool repeatedly on unexpected output ### Step 4 — Set up ongoing monitoring (optional) ```bash npx vibe-billing setup ``` ## Proof - $7,691 saved across tracked requests - 947 million tokens intercepted - 161 loops blocked ## Landing Page https://api.jockeyvc.com
