Extracts per-session and subagent token-spend from local Claude Code sessions into the operator- local, git-ignored FinOps usage store, rolls it up to its work item, reports windowed spend and trends by work item, worktree, skill, MCP and model, and ESTIMATES a planned item's token cost from historical comparables — with a stated basis and confidence, declining below three comparables rather than implying false precision. Read-only; every figure carries its provenance and prints to stdout. Distinct from context-budget-auditor, which measures STATIC corpus footprint; this measures RUNTIME session spend. Triggers: "extract token usage", "refresh the finops store", "how much token spend", "run the finops extractor", "roll up token usage", "attribute token spend", "report token spend", "finops report", "spend by work item", "token spend trend", "where did the tokens go", "estimate token cost", "how many tokens will this take", "finops estimate", "token budget for this work item", "estimate vs actual token spend".
