From Sipcode
Predicts the dollar cost of a coding task across Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku models using heuristic math with no LLM calls. Shows per-model estimates with confidence bands and model recommendations.

task: natural-language task description (≥3 chars). Example: "refactor the auth pipeline across 6 files".cwd: absolute path to the project root the task will run in. If the user didn't specify a directory, ask before calling.The tool returns per-model dollar predictions with a confidence band.
When presenting:
confidence: "low" because no past sessions matched this complexity tier, mention that the estimate is heuristic-only.npx claudepluginhub anuj7411/sipcode --plugin sipcodeEstimates cost of coding tasks by analyzing complexity, predicting token usage via file counts and tool calls, and comparing prices across Claude models.
Estimates token usage, costs across Haiku/Sonnet/Opus, complexity levels, and time for features by analyzing codebase files/lines via Glob/Read/Grep. Use for pre-implementation planning.
Routes Claude Code tasks to optimal models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) using decision matrices, cost tables, complexity signals, and subagent assignments for cost/quality tradeoffs.
