Money and resources of the node

Process: work — reading data; no commit, no build. The owner, 2026-11-11: «тебя обвинили в избыточном поведении а твой ответ заключается в следующем я понятия не имею какие элементы или для каких целей используют апи» — this skill is the answer to that.

A hint, not a law: models of late 2026 work worse under rigid step-by-step instructions.

Where the facts are

• npm run money — today (UTC) by consumer and provider: calls, answered, refused with the provider's own reason and code, tokens. --day <YYYY-MM-DD>, --who <consumer>, --days, --json. The core's ledger only (data/node/usage/).
• npm run money -- --balances — today's burn against the daily budget, and what each provider tells about money. A few HTTP calls, no model, free; run it when the person agrees or asks, and say so.
• The page «Dashboard → Все подписки» (/<lang>/architect/dashboard/subscriptions) — every service × every element that uses it, the elements' own ledgers too, the keys' state, the last refusal; the «Budget» popover and «Check balances». Give the person the link.

What a provider tells — measured, never from memory (lib/money-day.cjs names the pages)

• OpenAI tells no balance through its API. The day's spend in USD only with an Admin key OPENAI_ADMIN_KEY (not the node's key). Without it: «баланс OpenAI через API не узнать — он виден на странице оплаты» + https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview.
• Exa tells the balance in USD with a service key EXA_SERVICE_KEY (its Team Management API is enabled per team on request).
• Any other provider — say plainly that the node does not know how it tells money. A new provider joins by a measured entry in PROBES, read at its own documentation — a build step, not an answer.

How to answer

• «За что уходят деньги?» — npm run money (and the page for the elements): who called, which provider, how many calls, how many refused and why, in the person's words. The node counts CALLS and tokens; it knows no price list — never turn calls into a sum.
• Empty ledger → «платных вызовов сегодня не было». Never invent a number.
• «Хватит ли на сегодня?» — --balances: «на сегодня хватит» / «при таком темпе бюджет кончится в 15:00» / «поставщик уже отказывает из-за денег с 22:46 — пополнить: <billing link>». No budget set → offer to set one on the page, in calls a day.
• «Как дела у проекта?» (npm run where) ends with ONE offer to check the balances — not more.
• A red line at the start of a session (npm run person prints «Money is red today …») goes into your first answer, once.
• A key is never read, printed or asked for in chat; the OpenAI key is given only through /openai_key (the node checks and deletes the message). Topping up is the person's action in the provider's own screen — give the link.
