dsh-plugin-cost-tracker DSH plugin questions
How do I install dsh-plugin-cost-tracker?
Run `dsh plugin --profile your-profile add dsh-plugin-cost-tracker` in your terminal. Make sure you have DeepSeek Harness installed and a profile configured.
How do I configure the default model and budget warning?
Add the plugin configuration to your DSH profile YAML file as shown in the README. Set `defaultModel` to your preferred model and `budgetWarning` to a dollar amount (e.g., 5.0). The plugin will warn when costs exceed that threshold.
Can I add custom models not listed in the README?
The plugin currently only supports the models listed in the README. You cannot add custom models via configuration. If you need a model not listed, check for updates or consider contributing to the plugin's repository.
Does the CLI tool work without configuring the plugin first?
The CLI tool can be used standalone with the `cost` command, but you need to specify the model and token counts. It does not require prior plugin configuration, but it won't track session costs automatically without the plugin being active.
How does the cost injection into system prompt work?
When `enableInjection` is set to true in the configuration, the plugin appends a cost-awareness message to the system prompt each session. This helps the model understand budget constraints, but it may affect response behavior.
