deft-directive-cost
100 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try.
Pre-build cost & budget transparency phase. Use after the project SPECIFICATION is approved and before the build skill kicks off, to produce a plain-English COST-ESTIMATE.md the user can read, react to, and explicitly accept, rescope, no-build, or skip with a recorded reason. Audience is non- technical users; voice is dollars and whole-number bands, not spreadsheets.

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'deft-directive-cost' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'deft-directive-cost' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named deft-directive-cost already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/deftai/directive' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd64615ee1074908fe26ebfc49eb766a3a0c18b06' -- 'content/skills/deft-directive-cost' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'content/skills/deft-directive-cost' ~/.agents/skills/'deft-directive-cost' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'deft-directive-cost' ~/.claude/skills/'deft-directive-cost' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
