What Cost Estimate does

name: cost-estimate description: Per-session token-overhead estimator (BL-READINESS-001 sibling). Breaks down the fixed context cost a session pays at startup -- global + project CLAUDE.md, memory files, plugins, MCP servers, governance and planning docs -- and converts it to an estimated USD overhead on Opus / Sonnet / Haiku. Use it to see where the session-start token budget goes and what to trim. On-demand diagnostic, not a hook.

/cost-estimate -- session-start token overhead
