budget

The single source for all API budget cap and reset rules - how much of the 5-hour and weekly API limits may be spent, when to throttle, pause, wake up, or hibernate, and the commit-identity gate that runs before any commit. Use whenever you are about to start or continue autonomous work, before spawning or stopping subagents, when deciding how large a task chunk to take on, when a limit is near a cap, before a commit, or whenever someone asks "how much budget is left" or "can I keep going". Works standalone (no session skill required) and applies inside subagents too: any agent that spends API budget or commits must apply these rules.
