Shipped: See what each Claude skill costs, and who runs it

Why this matters

You can already see your total Claude spend and what each person spends. The next question is which workflows drive it. Skills are how many teams package repeatable work in Claude, so cost by skill shows which workflows cost the most.

Now in CloudZero you can see Anthropic Enterprise spend by skill, and who runs each one. A monthly Claude usage review that used to take a spreadsheet and some manual work comes straight out of CloudZero.

What we built

CloudZero now breaks down Anthropic Enterprise spend by Claude skill and by user. Skill cost uses Anthropic’s estimated billed spend, not list price, so it ties to your bill and your existing totals don’t change.

How it works

Skill isn’t a built-in dimension, so add it in CostFormation:

Skill:
  Name: Skill
  Rules:
  - Type: GroupBy
    Source: Properties
    Transforms:
    - Type: Lookup
      Key: ai:skill

Once it’s published, group by Skill in Explorer, and add user to see who runs each one.
