About claude-code-cost-estimate

/cost-estimate — Claude Code Skill A custom Claude Code slash command that estimates the replacement cost to rebuild any codebase with a traditional human team — no AI, just developers, designers, PMs, and meetings. Open Claude Code in any project, run , and get a full breakdown: P10/P50/P90 ranges, a four-way cross-check (bottom-up × COCOMO II × Function Point × LOCOMO), real Claude token cost from session logs, current market rates, realistic team costs, and external anchors from Harvard (Hoffmann-Nagle-Zhou 2024) and IFPUG (Capers Jones). Prints the full report to the terminal and saves a copy plus a machine-readable to a temp directory (never the project — safer against accidental commits). ⚠ Read "How to read the report" below before quoting any number. Replacement cost to rebuild ≠ market value ≠ what it actually cost to build. Three different numbers, often orders of magnitude apart. Example Output What It Does The skill acts as a senior software engineering consultant. It: Measures the codebase properly — prefers / / (fast, accurate language breakdown) and falls back to filtered . Explicitly excludes vendored deps, generated code, minified bundles, and lockfiles.
