Claude Cowork Plugin
💸FinOps Practitioner
Inventory AI spend, allocate costs, compute cost-per-successful-task, and prep vendor renewals
The FinOps Practitioner plugin helps you run the AI-spend operating model: visibility, allocation, unit economics, and vendor controls. Every command works standalone with your input — paste the invoices, usage exports, or notes you have and get a structured working draft ready for your review.
Use /ai-spend-inventory to consolidate subscriptions, API usage, credit pools, and embedded AI into one normalized monthly view with owners, renewals, and waste flags. Use /allocate-ai-costs to turn consolidated bills into a team-level showback with explicit allocation rules and an honest unallocated remainder. Use /cost-per-task to compute cost-per-successful-task unit economics — retries, eval overhead, and quality thresholds included. Use /ai-spend-report to draft the monthly report your CFO and CTO can absorb in five minutes. Use /vendor-renewal-brief to walk into an AI vendor renewal with utilization evidence, options, an ask list, and a credible walk-away.
The plugin's skills activate automatically when relevant: AI Billing Models normalizes seat, usage, credit, reserved-capacity, and embedded-AI pricing into comparable run rates; AI Unit Economics keeps every cost conversation anchored to cost-per-successful-outcome instead of tokens.

Skills
Skills activate automatically when Claude Cowork detects you're working on relevant tasks — no slash command needed.
AI Billing Models
Normalize seat, usage, credit, reserved-capacity, hybrid, and embedded-AI billing into comparable monthly run rates, with contract mechanics flagged
AI Unit Economics
Push every cost conversation from tokens to cost-per-successful-task — honest numerators, quality-bar denominators, and the counterfactual
Usage examples
/ai-spend-inventory Copilot Business 120 eng seats, ChatGPT Business 45 seats, OpenAI API ~$3,800/mo, a half-used $25k Anthropic credit purchase, Notion AI bundled in our workspace tier. Only Copilot's renewal is known (November). Build the inventory and flag the gaps.
/allocate-ai-costs Last month's consolidated AI bill is $41,200. Teams: Platform 22, Product Eng 48, Marketing 15, Support 30. The OpenAI key is shared by Product Eng and Support. Propose allocation rules and produce the showback table.
/cost-per-task Ticket-summarization workflow: 18,400 requests, $2,950 model cost, 11% retry rate, evals add ~8%. Success = shipped without agent edits (82% of completions). Cost per successful summary and the biggest lever?
/vendor-renewal-brief ChatGPT Business renews Jan 15 — 45 seats at $20/seat/mo annual, 29 weekly-active users, 30-day notice window, heavy overlap with our Claude Team plan. Build the negotiation brief.
