Receipts - print the check

SkillDev tools

Prints the check - reads .sous-chef/receipts/ and renders the last 10 run receipts as a table with a savings total, and can reprint any receipt's shareable summary. Use when the user asks for receipts, costs, or savings, or invokes /sous-chef:receipts. Receipts are written automatically at the end of every serve and simmer.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Receipts - print the check skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by tomascupr/sous-chef in skills/receipts/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Receipts are per-run cost artifacts written by serve and simmer into the current repo at .sous-chef/receipts/<utc-timestamp>.md (ignored via .git/info/exclude, never committed). Each holds the run's measured numbers and ends with a shareable one-liner. The global ledger (~/.sous-chef/ledger.jsonl) stays the cross-repo running tab; receipts are the per-run, per-repo story.

Printing the check

Read the last 10 receipts by filename (newest last) and render one table:

| when | task | worker | tokens | ~cost | ~saved vs Fable list | verdict |

Close with one line - "last N runs: ~$X of worker spend, ~$Y saved vs same-token Fable list." Sum only lines that exist; a receipt missing a number contributes nothing to that column - say so rather than papering over it.

If the user wants to share one, print that receipt's quoted summary verbatim - it is written to be pasted unedited.

No .sous-chef/receipts/ here? Say so - receipts appear after the first serve or simmer in this repo (a bare fire tabs the ledger, not receipts).
