Cost Booster Route

Cost Booster Route

Wraps mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_route and reports how many tasks the 3-tier router classified as Agent Booster (Tier 1) eligible. Tier 1 bypasses run as WASM transforms — no LLM call, structurally $0 cost.

When to use

Before a batch of similar tasks, or when cost-report shows Sonnet/Opus spend on descriptions that look like simple transforms (var-to-const, add-types, add-error-handling, async-await, add-logging, remove-console).

Steps

1. Collect tasks — single arg or recent entries from cost-tracking via memory_search. Cap batch at 50.
2. Route each — call hooks_route with the description; capture the full response string.
3. Partition — group by whether the response contains the literal [AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE] (Tier 1) vs. not (Tier 2/3). Extract [TASK_MODEL_RECOMMENDATION] Use model="X" when present.
4. Compute spend — Tier 1 partition: $0. Tier 2/3 partition: per-task upper-bound from REFERENCE.md pricing × recommended model.
5. Report

   === Booster bypass report ===
   Tasks analyzed:        50
   Tier 1 (booster):      18 (36%)  — $0.00
   Tier 2/3 (LLM):        32 (64%)  — $X.XX (upper-bound)
   Booster intents:       var-to-const (8), add-types (5), remove-console (5)

1. Persist — memory_store --namespace cost-tracking --key "booster-route-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)" --value '{"tier1": N, "tier2_or_3": M, ...}' so cost-report picks up the tier signal.

Caveats — claimed upstream, not yet verified

• [AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE] fires only when the upstream router populates routeResult.agentBoosterIntent.type (v3/@claude-flow/cli/src/mcp-tools/hooks-tools.ts:1228). The published CLI's semantic-VectorDb path does not always trigger the classifier — treat the partition as a lower bound on Tier 1 eligibility.
• CLAUDE.md root claims <1ms latency and 352× faster than LLM. <1ms and $0 are structural; 352× is claimed upstream, not yet verified here. Report what the router actually returns.
• See docs/benchmarks/0002-baseline.md for the full upstream-claims-vs-measured table.
